Germany Move To Joint Favouritism In Eurovision Betting

Germany’s version of the UK’s ‘Your Country needs You’ has resulted in 18-year-old Lena Meyer-Landrut being chosen to represent the Germans in the forthcoming Eurovision song contest in Oslo. The nation voted on not only who would represent them in Europe’s premier song contest, but also the song that the act would be singing. The decision was that Meyer-Landrut will sing her number one hit “Satellite.”

At just 18 years of age Meyer-Landrut has already made German pop music history by having her first three singles go straight into the top five of the German singles chart. “Satellite” has already gone gold in Germany – more than 100,000 sales have been recorded – subsequent to hitting the number one spot, charted at number two in Austria and eight in Switzerland and was also number eight in the European Hot 100 singles.

The bookmakers have been forced to sit up and take notice as well; they have cut Germany’s odds of claiming Eurovision glory from around 15/1 into joint-favouritism – shared with Azerbaijan – at a best price of 4/1 with Skybet (Go to Skybet ») and Paddy Power (Go to Paddy Power ») among others.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2010 begins on 25 May 2010 with the first of two semi-finals then the final will be screened on television screens across the continent on 29 May.
