Eurovision Odds Go Crazy as Jedward Seem More Likely To Win 2011 ContestWilliam Hill are shitting themselves a bit today as Jedward odds have shortened so much that it leaves them facing a £100,000 pay out to just one punter if the little imps pull off a win. We’ve got the full odds below, but it’s worth having a look at Jedward first of all. The bookmakers originally offered them at 25 to 1, but as with their X Factor performances, as time went on it looked like they might just do the impossible. The punter we mentioned about put a £5,000 bet on them at 20 to 1. To be honest we’d still take the five grand, but might consider a smaller punt on them before tonight’s show.
“Over the years there have been some great gambles on the Eurovision but none to match ‘Jedmania’. Both home nations are genuine contenders but a Jedward victory would spark a seven figure payout and we are desperate to see them topple! said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
Interestingly you can also bet on one of the twins falling over during the performance at odds of 6 to 1 and we reckon that’s the safest bet you could ever make.
So Here’s the full odds
6/4 France, 11/4 Ireland, 10/1 Azerbaijan, 10/1 UK, 12/1 Denmark, 14/1 Estonia, 16/1 Bosnia Herzegovina, 18/1 Sweden, 20/1 Austria, 20/1 Germany, 22/1 Finland, 22/1 Hungary, 50/1 Iceland, 50/1 Ukraine, 66/1 Georgia, 66/1 Russia, 80/1 Slovenia, 100/1 Serbia, 100/1 Switzerland, 100/1 Romania, 125/1 Greece, 125/1 Italy, 150/1 Moldova, 200/1 Lithuania, 200/1 Spain
We really have no idea how France is in first position though. Here’s their entry:
