Eurovision Betting Odds: Miodio, San Marino

The Eurovision Song Contest is getting closer, so savour these Eurovision betting odds while you can.

Eurovision’s getting so close, in fact, that the rehearsals are taking place as we speak, and the Eurovision website has them all online to watch. It’s worth a look, especially if you enjoy watching Bosnian men climb out of washing baskets. Which you do, of course. Everyone does.

Here are the Eurovision betting odds for San Marino, with help from Paddy Power…

San Marino (pop: 29,615, a country in the Apennine Mountains. It is a landlocked enclave, completely surrounded by Italy) Miodio, Complice

More people live in Croydon than in San Marino, and imagine if Croydon had its own Eurovision entry, it’d be shit. So it’s not exactly a grand surprise to discover that the San Marino Eurovision entry is, well, shit. But not for the reason you’d imagine. Usually such a tiny talent pool would throw up some half-hearted traditional folk or tinpot Eurodisco, but Complice by Miodio manages to be shit by sounding like Keane. Which is worse, obviously. What’s more, it sounds like Keane singing a Bond theme, and most people would rather set themselves on fire and throw themselves under a train than hear Keane attempt a Bond theme. God knows what Complice is actually about - we get the feeling if we translated it we’d probably end up slashing our wrists - but we do know that in Italian Mi Odio means I Hate Myself. They’re probably not the only ones. Current Eurovision betting odds - 150/1
