UK betting agency William Hill does not appear very hopeful that the Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Malta in 2013 after giving Malta the slimmest of chances of finally achieving its long-sought Eurovision glory.

The bookies have, in fact, given Malta’s entry, This is the Night, a 200/1 chance of winning the contest, and a 150/1 chance of winning the semi-final.

The event will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan on 22, 24 and 26 May.

The good news for Malta, with Eurovision being a public vote, is that everyone loves an underdog.
