The Eurovision Song Contest takes place on the 22nd May and it’s already bad news for Andy Abraham and The UK as Ladbrokes already have them as outsiders to take the coveted music title. Even more humiliating for The UK is that Ireland’s bizarre entry Dustin the Turkey is favourite! Ladbrokes though aren’t as up to date with the odds as Paddy Power who have odds for all countries participating this year.
At the irish bookmakers Ireland are 4-1 favourites with Russia 5-1, Armenia and Ukraine at 6-1 and Serbia are 7-1. The UK are a huge outsider at 50-1.
Normally you’d think that there’s no way in a million years that Irlande Douze Pointe is a better song than, well in fact anything, however this is Eurovision and if Lordi from Finland can win then anything can! You also have to feel sorry for Andy Abraham. He is a good singer and has a decent enough song - but apparently has no hope of winning and could also suffer the indignity of losing to a turkey puppet from Ireland!
