The fact that freaking Jeffrey Epstein was in the Melfest 1985 studio audience as the host Eva Andersson’s then boyfriend is still giving me… 😭💀☠️ (the one on the right)

Book recommendation! Rob Furber, an old acquaintance of ours from the ESC press centre on many past occasions, has a book out. You may well have read his content on EntertainmentOdds.com over the years, and "The Gambler" documents the last 15 years or so of ESC from a betting perspective.

From the glory days when online gambling first became huge through to today's limited rehearsal access, it's full of insights and memories from the front line at the ESC press centre (as well as entertainment TV betting generally), accompanied by a personal love story that is no less entertaining.

We promised Rob we'd post about the book when it first came out, but then our honesty gene kicked in and we decided to actually buy a copy and read it first. 😀 Happily, it's definitely worth your time - so do check it out if you're after an ESC summer read! entertainmentodds.com/a/tv-betting...

entertainmentodds.com'The Gambler' by Rob Furber is out now'The Gambler' is Rob Furber's hilarious true-life memoir of TV betting, culture clashes, and a high-stakes love story.

Shi thinks the host country has a chance, Felix believes in a red and black evening, and Martin is busy evoking the spirit of Yugoslavia 1989. But despite being generally clueless, the escgo! team has coalesced around one most likely winner for tonight. Do you agree? www.escgo.com/2025/05/17/w...

Semi 2 is fast approaching - and it's fair to say that Martin, Felix and Shi's predictions are ALL OVER THE PLACE. Only four guaranteed qualifiers, and not a single country that all three of us consider to be definitely out. This could be an interesting night... www.escgo.com/2025/05/15/e...

Everyone else is analysing those #Eurovision 2025 rehearsal clips, so we should too! Except, being us, we also manage to namedrop Leon's "Planet of Blue" and a song from Eirodziesma 2003. Never let it be said that our references are anything other than up-to-date. www.escgo.com/2025/05/08/e...
