and what does "Each Way Odds 1/5 places 1,2,3,4" mean?

that means if you place a bet on a country each way, and have £5 each way on france say and they finish 2,3,4th then you will have £5 on at a 5th of the odds. If that makes sense

ah ok, cheers. so if France are 50 to 1 to win it and they actually come 2nd, 3rd or 4th I would win, but with odds of 10 to 1?

yeah but if you had £5 each way. It would cost you £10. £5 for the win part.. and £5 for the each way part. So you would have £5 at 10/1

cheers, gone for an each way bet on France as an outsider, and to win bets for Ukraine, Portugal and Russia (fucking terrible song and terrible performances all through the qualifying round, but rumours circulating that he's already bought the win Laughing out loud)

without wanting to turn this thread too homo, Ukraine were runners-up last year and this year's is a full-on Eurovision anthem, so I think they will win

I was in Moscow when the Russian entry was being chosen, Dima Bilan won through and gave an embarrassingly bad and OTT out of tune performance. In the qualifying rounds this week he scraped through in 6th or 7th place I think, but he has been second favourite since the odds were first posted, and as I say, there are those rumours Laughing out loud

I've got a free £25 bet to place. If I could make that back I'd be happy. Any bets people could recommend?

I'm not backing anything to do with Liverpool in the transfer market. They value Crouch at £15 mil. All deals seem to be player plus cash so clearly they aren't cash rich.

Zheng to beat Vaidisova at 2/1 ish depends where your betting

i bet against Zheng yesterday, but today she's playing Vaidisova who at times is more unstable than half my patients, and she's only through becuase Chak had a breakdown yesterday, i could have beaten chak when she loses her head,
