The odds makers are taking bets on the Eurovision Song Contest. The first Semi-Final (there will be two Semi-Finals for the first time in the history of the contest) is only a day away, but the odds will be taken until the last minute.

According to the odds offered by the European online bookmaker Bet365, Russia has become a favorite with odds 3/1. Serbia is a runner-up with odds 5/1.

Dima Bilan will represent Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. He is considered to be veteran there as he participated in the contest in 2006 where he attracted the world’s attention.

Serbia will be represented by Jelena Tomašević. It goes without saying that it will be really hard for her to win. Se is already being compared with Bora Dugic – the winner of the last Eurovision Song Contest.
