Euro Vision?

Doubleme

So my girlfriend is a musical Savant it is hard to find anything to do with music she does not know. She lives and breathes music and has music tatooes etc. She claims to regularly predict the Eurovision rankings. this could well be true I have joked about songs from mars before humans existed that she is familiar with.

Note I doubt intelligent life existed on mars at any point but if it did and they made music chances are my girlfriend is familiar with it.
I on the other hand know very little about music.

this year I have said I will let my girlfriend pick the top five and try a few bets.

firstly does skybet offer bets on Eurovision? secondly is the fact my girlfriend would be picking bets for me violate any tocs if so I find another site or just wire her the money to make a bet herself.

also since my girlfriend is an expert on the topic does that prejudice my betting rights?

if its all good to bet here and my girlfriend gives me the picks after I have placed the wager and got odds i might post the betting selections here.

Sky Bet do form a ESC market, yes, it's here.

And yes, it's fine for her to tell you what to back, & for you to back it. Best not tell us on the forum & reveal what she has picked though, in case it causes an avalanche of bets & sends Sky Bet busto.

So who does she think will win it? Worth tailing something.

Doubleme

my girlfriend says she cant be sure until the performances in the semis thats when I will be placing the bet.

I am looking to try and predict the top five sky at the moment only has the bet to predict the winner.

I am hoping that more betting options become available nearer the time.
My girlfriend says I can say her number one but nothing else.

she says
"pre life performance pending listening of the live performances number 1 will be Sweden"

However she does stress this is subject to change pending live performances.

The thing is when has it actually been the best song that has won.. We would need to tell the musical tastes of the judges the relationship between countries etc
However wish you good luck with your bet

So my girlfriend has really gone crazy with spreadsheets ranking numerous catergories and statistical analysis based on multiple factors have not found anywhere the odds for picking just straight top 5 as an accumulator no one offers it. However I am literally now betting on multiple things since she put so much work into it. Likely to have somewhere between £100-£200 down across bets with the majority been placed on sky bet.

will announce how have done at the end of the event and what bets we placed. We now think Italy are most likely to win though most people do now.

Israel are looking phenomenal but politically they are not too much liked especially with current events. So that could hurt their chances. Note I am not making any political comments on the rights or wrongs on that conflict on either side. Simply a statement on how that can affect outcomes here.

Ukraine hope they finish high I mean its just such a unique song and seems kind of cool.

Slovenia I think they are way more likely to pull it off then everyone saying. we think they are very good but with the talent this eurovison been the highest it has ever been they probably wont do it. still at 500 to one with some bookies had to place a bet there. £4258.50 if that comes in. So Slovenia are who I want to win really want them to win, dont think its too likely but much more likely then the 500 to one. Also placed a bet with sky for them to finish top ten.

after the even will mention how much I have been up or down over the whole event.

my girlfriend has put a lot of work into this I have grinded up largeish bankrolls across a few sites and I am willing to back my girlfriends thoughts and if I lose a £100 or £200 or so then so be it I can take the hit. heck I stake more then that on the standard poker day.

Thanks had a couple of small bets on Ukraine and Slovenia for the craic

Doubleme

absolute disaster had Ireland to qualify in one of my combo bets absolutely no chance was a train wreck of a performance.

Doubleme

Phenomal by Israel surely they have to qualify now even with the mass anti semetism and anti israeli sentiment worldwide.

Definitively the best of the night so far.

Bring back Jedward

Interesting that Flo Rida will be appearing with the San Marino entry

Doubleme

hoping on malta now for one of my bets but I think Israels performance will be very hard to beat.

Doubleme

ok its one Israel has to be unequivocally the best of the night so good that infact they may still take best of the night despite the anti Israeli attitude.

Doubleme

I dont get this at all I just dont I just dont. How have Israel gone to 300/1 had to bet a fiver on that they def the best of the night and bookies dont think they even going through what going on?????

Doubleme

I swear if Ireland and Cyprus qualify and Israel and Slovenia dont I am done on betting on this because at that point it makes no sense and it is totally random and may as well bet on roullette instead. obv not gonna do that how are the bookies setting the odds this makes no sense at all.

Doubleme

well got Israel at 300 to 1 dont get how sky offered that after that performance but looks like I am rooting for Israel now.

Slovenia definitely should be through some countries went through who had no right to.

Cyprus and Belgium really?

I cant see them giving it to Israel with everything going on although wow just wow she is the best so far by such a long way in my opinion. I am delighted to have got my fiver on them at 300 to one.

Doubleme

got quite a few bets on now some which contradict others.

My girlfriend thinks Ukraine could do it but likely italy will win.
I believe San Marino for the win they were incredible all those options represented by bets.

got combo bets as well. shame we couldnt just for for straight top 5.

I make a profit if San Marino win, but other nations who winning would net me more.

If money wasn't online though I would route for San Marino because their performance was stunning.
My girlfriends favourite was Ukraine.

here we go the final.

Doubleme

some amazing performances looks like all my bets are taking big hits as didnt have some people who really pulled it out.

I guess the only hope now lies with San Marino come on San Marino.

they go on last btw

Doubleme

so looks like i going to be out like £170 on this I guess Sweden and San Marino hold some hope because they both nailed it.

I really think San Marino deserve to win this whole thing they incredible but It appears no one agrees with me so they not going to.

Doubleme

so after placing £100s of bets I am up/down......... +£102.50 on sky though still waiting for the final £100 to be settled. on the other site I am down like £60 or so Israel just **** it on the night they blew it such a shame. and San Marino got screwed so very wrong they finished so low they deserved so much better they were incredible.

not as bad as I thought it would be I guess with the free bets I get credited which sky kept flashing up to me may be able to show a more worthwhile profit from all this. When and how do I find out exactly how much free bets I have credited. and is it all individual £5 bets or can I combine into one big bet? what is terms and conditions of free bets as well?
