Finland FINLAND 2018 - Saara Aalto - Monsters

[LalehForWD]

11th in odds to win the whole thing, but 13th to qualify from semi 1. That seems odd to me (pun intended).

Well, I think with the new voting system you need top scores (top 2 or top 3). How many would be interesting to know actually. Low points are not helping much if I understand right.

Unibet odds right now - Finland seems to be safe if they are right!

In the ”to qualify” odds they currently share the 13th spot with Belarus. The odds you posted are for winning semi 1, which is only realistic for a handful of entries.

Yeah, Finland's odds haven't seemed right in the "to qualify" markets for a while. For me, it's a safe qualifier, although I think it might be borderline for the top 10 in the final. Saara will throw everything at her performance, that's all we know for sure

On our German Eurovision page, the so-called "experts" say Finland isnt making the cut due to her bad live vocals .. because she never hits a note. Thats also why its fair that she never won a contest.

Wow, I am shocked. WHAT STUPID EXPERTS! :?

Prinzblog and the betting odds also say, that Finland wont make it.

First, Unibet doesn't have the category you mention. It has place 1-3 but I deliberately left it out.
Second, if I understand the new voting rules right, getting top scores really is crucial for the final result
Third, the winner category must be the most used, right? And therefore the most relevant

But betting market isn't easy to understand so it's indeed possible I'm out in the blue.

Anyway putting it all together, I'm beginning to feel increasingly more confident Finland will qualify to the final.

I believe that Saara will be in the final! And i hope so sinve this is my favourite!

 

[Ana Raquel]

good luck today she deserves that final and breaks finland's curse

I have avoided watching Saara's rehearsal videos because I fully believe that she surprises everyone and absolutely slays tonight! Can't wait for the evening

 

[Jounah]

Good luck to Saara! Best entry we have had in years, so proud of her!

 

[Kevan1994]

This just has to qualify

 

[John1]

Mark my words: won't make it through tonight, even though I wish it would.

I guess it would be a surprise to qualify meanwhile

 

[Citelis]

I hope Finland will make it to the final!
