That time of year again with the first of the semi finals tonight.
Armenia is favourite at 3.05 having traded odds on for some decent amounts.
I decided to do the listen test last night (couldn't sleep after that Liverpool collapse) without looking at the odds prior and picked out 5 songs I thought had the best chance of winning. After looking at the odds I'd actually picked the top 3 in the betting as part of my 5 but in reverse order.
So essentially what I'm trying to say is that I rated the UK as the best song. Forget your mathematical models, the listen test is where's it at! The UK is currently trading at 10 and is 3rd favourite.
