Azerbaijan still favourite to win the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest

This weekend sees the eagerly awaited 2010 Eurovision Song Contest which this year comes from the Telenor Arena in Oslo in Norway. Each year the contest is hosted by the previous years winner and last year Norway’s Alexander Rybak won with the song “Fairtytale”, he was favourite to win pretty much from the start of betting and this year it looks like being no different as Azerbaijan have been quoted as the favourites since betting opened with the song Drip Drop performed by the sultry Safura Alizade.

England’s chances of winning this year look very slim even though they are backed by the Pete Waterman written and produced song “It’s My Time” sung by the winner of You’re Country Needs You; Josh Dubovie, however the odds have come down somewhat from 100/1 and are now showing at odds of 66/1 but with the competition starting on Saturday night the odds are unlikely to come down any more, but for a £1 bet it might be worth a go!
