British Fans Support Molly Smitten-Downes, but She is only 5th on Bookies’ List

Armenian artist Aram MP3 is Paddy Power’s top choice for this year’s Eurovision contest, while Molly Smitten-Downes is only fifth.

Music lovers, prepare! It’s that time of the year again! The Eurovision semi-finals are near and online and mobile betting companies are preparing their offers. Molly Smitten-Downes seems to have a lot of fans out there, but British bookmakers don’t believe in her enough to place her higher than fifth on their lists.

A spokesman working for Paddy Power, the popular online sportsbook in Ireland, told reporters: “Patriotic punters are Smitten with Molly - we haven’t seen this level of support for a Brit in years. If the money continues to pour in like this, we could be facing a record Eurovision payout should she win.”

The charming British singer has recently revealed the official video for her song. Titled “Children of the Universe”, the song is now backed at 14/1.

However, most bookies go with Armenian artist Aram MP3 as a top choice. His song - “Not Alone” – is given 6/4 odds, while Sweden’s Sanna Nielsen is second on the list of favorites, with the song “Undo” being given 5/2 chances of winning on Paddy Power’s online sportsbook.
