Eurovision Sweepstake 2014
Stick your name down and I"ll randomly allocate you a country.

Either play "just for fun"

OR...

If you also place a £5 (or higher) bet on your allocated country, and your country goes on to win, I"ll credit your Coral account with an extra £20.

All players who place the bet will be entered into a special "Eurovision Freeroll*" to be held on Sunday 18th May @8pm on Coral. Good luck!!

* Prize pool for this will depend on number of bets placed. < 10 bets = £20, 11 > 19 bets = £50, > 20 bets = £100.

Draw for teams will be made Friday 9th May at 8pm. So hurry!. You will then have from then until the show starts on Saturday at 8pm to place your bet!**

** If you intend to place a bet, please include your Coral nickname so I can easily check this.

Updated above.

jff = you"re playing just for fun / not entering the freeroll.

If you do want to enter the freeroll, please read the rules in the OP.

[fandango]

 Why not even though I hate the Eurovision.. More rigged than stars  

[Claw75]

just a thought, but might be an idea to extend the deadline for placing bets so that it"s after all the acts have performed on Saturday?

The idea is to back before kick-off so you don"t know what you"re getting

I don"t think that Coral are doing "in play" for this anyway.

[Claw75]

ah yeah ignore me - didn"t realise the bet had to be on the country we get in the sweepstake - doh!

[Matt D]

Of course, it"s fine to decide not back your country once it"s revealed who it is....

[Claw75]

Of course, it"s fine to decide not back your country once it"s revealed who it is....

given my record of picking Eurovision winners, I"m probably more likely to see a return lumping a fiver on a random pick than choosing the one I think should win!
