Bookmakers Asks: Is Eurovision Success Ahead?

Bookmakers provides betting fans with odds for UK success at Eurovision.

Bookmakers William Hill has revealed the latest odds for the UK to secure success at this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

The UK public was able to choose from six acts in contention to represent the country in Oslo in May on BBC's Eurovision: Your Country Needs You and a surge in betting followed.

Josh Dubovie is this year's entrant and odds of British success at the competition were slashed from 33/1 to 25/1.

He said that the moment he heard the song - penned by famed producer Pete Waterman - he felt it could be a winner.

"We have taken bets of up to £200 that the UK will win Eurovision and have cut the price but it is still a long-shot," said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

Odds of 16/1 are offered for the UK to come last in the competition, while an improvement on last year's fifth place finish is available at 6/1.
