Since these Eurovision betting odds are now a traditional occurrence, it's only fair that the moment where we realise we've planned badly and have to start doing three Eurovision profiles a day instead of two should become a traditional occurrence too.
So that's what we're doing – for the next few days you'll be getting three videos of Eurovision performances, three lots of Eurovision betting odds and three petty, bitter Eurovision profiles. That's a full 50% extra free! There's a very good chance that this is the best value for money in the history of Eurovision – barring the year that Jemini didn't get any points at all, naturally. That represented stupendous value for money.
Anyway, here are today's Eurovision betting odds – for Moldova, Montenegro and the Netherlands – with help from Paddy Power…
Moldova (pop. 4,431,570; a landlocked country in Eastern Europe) Natalia Barbu, Fight
It might just be us, but this year's Eurovision Song Contest could just be the most violent in history. There's a song about starting a nuclear war, a song called Leave Me Alone, no end of songs about dying, and now Fight by Natalia Barbu. And Natalia Barbu doesn't even look like the fighty type – the only fight she should be having is with the cosmetic surgeon who pumped her lips so full of collagen that she can barely open her mouth. But Natalia Barbu doesn't want us to fight each other, oh no: "Fighting anywhere we go/ To face this cruel world/ We gotta just fight forever" she sings, not realising that a song about everyone bundling a planet is about as likely to win Eurovision as, well, Scooch. Current Eurovision betting odds – 50/1
Montenegro (pop. 630,814; a country in southeastern Europe) Stevan Faddy, Ajde Kroãi
When you're a country as small as Montenegro, you need to make a louder noise than everyone else just to get noticed. Or, more accurately, you get weird little boyband-style girlymen like Stevan Faddy to make a loud noise for you, preferably one that sounds like the theme-tune to a 1980s ITV local teatime television show about speedboat racing. Stevan Faddy's biography is tear-inducingly dull, but at least his ridiculous song Ajde Kroãi makes up for it. It's the sort of music that gets played in films where policemen get beaten up in biker bars, which is silly enough, but the lyrics are like a first-class example of Eurovision naffness: the "fly/sky" rhyme is there, the "fire/desire" rhyme is there, "lover/another"… and Stevan Faddy isn't even singing in English. Astonishing. Current Eurovision betting odds – 150/1
Netherlands (pop. 16,318,199; the European part of the Kingdom Of The Netherlands) Edsilia Rombley, On Top Of The World
On YouTube there are versions of Edsilia Rombley singing On Top The World in both English and Dutch, but we've chosen to show you the English version because it sounds a little less like a woman choking to death on a shoelace. Some of you may remember that Edsilia Rombley represented the Netherlands nine years ago. We don't, obviously, but we'd imagine that she didn't win because she sings music that appears to have been scientifically designed to only play in the world's most stereotypical gay bars. On Top Of The World is no different, featuring lyrics all about how sad she is because her boyfriend left her: "I know we've tried it all before/ It will be better now I'm sure/ Been so blind, you make me see," it goes, which leads us to believe that Edsilia Rombley used to go out with a) Jesus or b) a highly-skilled optical surgeon. Current Eurovision betting odds – 66/1
Tomorrow – The fun continues, with Eurovision betting odds for Norway, Poland and Portugal. But if that's too long to wait – or you feel like making more money than you know what to do with – head right over to the Paddy Power Eurovision betting odds page to see the latest, and best, betting odds.
