Who's qualifying from Semi 2? The bookies' view

As we did with Semi 1, we've taken a look at the current bookies' odds for qualifying from the second semi-final. In the list below, we've simply ranked the eighteen competing entries by their likelihood of qualifying, according to the odds currently offered on Betfair.

1. Bulgaria (1.05)
2. Estonia (1.19)
3. Romania (1.22)
4. Netherlands (1.23)
5. Denmark (1.24)
6. Hungary (1.34)
7. Israel (1.43)
8. Belarus (1.5)
9. Norway (1.58)
10. Austria (1.61)

11. Serbia (1.82)
12. Croatia (2.3)
13. Switzerland (2.48)
14. Macedonia (2.58)
15. Ireland (3.2)
16. Malta (3.3)
17. Lithuania (8)
18. San Marino (8.8)

A clear ten here, then, with only Serbia sitting relatively close. There's money to be made if you think one of those at the lower end of the top 10 (or even the upper end) isn't a certain qualifier, or if you think one of the outsiders has a chance of making it in. Again, this blogger does have a bet on one of those outsiders (though it's one I'm slightly regretting now!).
