The Eurovision Song Contest 2022 officially gets underway in Italy tonight but the bookies have revealed that Ireland are odds on NOT to make it past the semi-final stage.
Paddy Power has revealed that almost half (46%) of all their customers are backing Ukrainian folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra, who are huge favourites (1/2) to win the contest, followed by UK (10%), Sweden (8%), Poland (5%) and Spain (4%).
Meanwhile there is no such confidence being shown for the Irish entry by punters, with just 8% of those betting actually backing Ireland.
