Bulgaria's chances to win the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 are 1:100, according to Ireland's biggest bookmaker "Paddy Power".

Belarus, Macedonia, Lithuania and San Marino face the same odds, while Norway, France, Germany, Estonia, and Russia have chances of 2:7, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6 and 1:6, respectively.

In February, Bulgaria selected singer Polly Genova and her song "Na Inat" ("In Defiance") as its representative for the next Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Polly Genova's song with its message urging young Bulgarians to stay and try to achieve their dreams in Bulgaria "in defiance" of all difficulties received the greatest number of votes out of a total of 19 songs.
