Well, 'professionals' and the betting agencies were wrong.
Eurovision was 'politically' motivated, and Ukraine's Jamala has won this year's Eurovision song contest.The country scored 534 points with its song 1944, about the deportation of Crimean Tatars under Josef Stalin.
You see, the song is about deportation of Crieman Tatars under Stalin.
Dissapointing that the UK with their song You're Not Alone, finished in 24th place with 62 points.

No 'professionals' when betting, and I think they will be wrong to predict the 2016 USA presidential election. |

The odds-makers had Ukraine listed as third out of 26. I kind of doubt they lost too much money.

Nonetheless, they were very wrong. |

My goodness, you mean they're not 100% right 100% of the time? How odd, so to speak?
VERY? wrong. Sure - that's why they go out of business so VERY often.
