It seems the whole of Europe will be tuning in with William Hill reporting that they have taken bets from over 27 countries including their biggest bet taken so far which was €20,0000 placed in Vienna that Austria would qualify for the finals, they did and the customer has collected €28,000.
Eurovision Final
Twenty five countries will take to the stage on Saturday evening in Dusseldorf and betting will be available during the live show from many bookmakers, William Hill expect to take over 100 bets a minute during the live show. France are the current favourites at 6/4 with Bet 365 and look rock solid, next in the betting are Ireland who have a great Eurovision record having won the contest on seven occasions. In 2011 Jedward will be their representatives and they have been backed into second favourites at 5/1 with Unibet. The twins are also the subject of many of the William Hill Eurovision Novelty bets including 6/1 that they unintentionally fall during their performance or 66/1 that they get nil points.
