Odds Are On ...

A number of websites have sprung up around next Saturday's Eurovision Dance Contest (EDC). Aside from the official website - the European Broadcasting Union's www.eurovisiondance.tv - there are a number of other sites reporting exhaustively on the EDC.

One of these sites is Eurovision-Kazakhstan's www.esckaz.com, where Kazhak journalist Andy Mikheev publishes everything from personal predictions on the outcome of the EDC to the odds offered by the online betting services for each of the 14 participating couples. In English and in Russian!

The site is a must-visit for anyone considering to bet on one of the couples. According to www.esckaz.com, bet365, one of the gambling services with a book on the EDC, changed its odds, making Ukraine a 2/1 favourite to win, after the site published its preliminary review on the couples. Finland is a longer shot already at 7/1!
