Portugal have got to the finals sometimes, but it never even close to win. Earlier today a friend of mine told we once got 10th and it was a hell of a party already but i went on a search for odds to see how much bet houses are paying if Portugal wins and i got really surprised. First, because Portugal is this year considered to have the worst chance of all coutries, when the music isn't that bad compared with the songs in previous years. But there isn't a single site that puts my country better than in a lausy 36th place. They should be ashamed i guess they haven't even heard the song and did that only based in previous years. But lets think straight about this. Some sites pay 1-301, 1-501 and even 1-970 (can you believe it???) If Portugal wins this year's event. Odds aren't on Portugal side, but sure its worth to put a few bucks on it just "for the love to the flag" as we use to say. What if it happens this year? Turning 5$ into $4,800... we just have to realize we don't mind loosing those $5 but we would appreciate very much to win those $4,800!!!
'The music isn't that bad' is something of a conversation starter for sure - should be closely followed by 'but it's still bad enough' and 'so everybodystop listening to' plus 'before there is a permanent damage in your ear'. This song contest is never about the music we all know that.
