Eurovision Betting 2011 Sees X Factor Jedward Gambled To Win
Wednesday 11 May 2011 at 14:31
A first it seemed that Ireland had made a huge mistake in choosing John & Edward Grimes the twins who are Jedward for Eurovision 2011, however in recent days the X factor twins have seen the price slashed on them winning the ESC. All bookmakers have cut the price on Jedward, at the beginning of May they traded at a high of 40/1 the best price currently available is 9/1 with Bet 365 and Unibet.
It seems that after initial Eurovision rehearsals bookies were impressed with the performance and the song Lipstick. It would be a dream come true for the twins were they to win after their careers seemed to have stalled and also for X factor judge Louis Walsh who is their manager. Jedward will be live on stage in the Second Semi Final in Dusseldorf on Thursday and if as expected they get through their semi final bookies may again cut their odds.
Ireland are now a shorter price than the UK entry boy band Blue who are on offer at 10/1 with Bet 365 and Victor Chandler. The current Eurovision favourites are France at 15/8 with Bet 365 and 888Sport. To place a Eurovision Bet or to back Ireland and Jedward click any of the bookmakers above.
