If that sounds like you, you can count on the best Eurovision betting sites to provide the best odds for your bets.

Before placing your bets, we invite you to read our full Eurovision betting guide to get all the necessary information and best tips. We’ll explain how live sports betting on Eurovision works, as well as other markets, and how to get started at Betiton Canada.

Eurovision 2024 Host

The 2024 Eurovision will be held in Malmö Arena, Sweden’s second-largest indoor arena, with an audience capacity of over 12,000. The song contest will be presented by comedian and TV presenter Petra Mede alongside Swedish-American actress Malin Akerman. Sweden earned hosting rights after Loreen won the 2023 Eurovision in Liverpool last year with her song Tattoo.

There will be 37 participating countries in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest. Canada has participated in the Eurovision’s Young Dancers twice, in 1987 and 1989. The competition was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and broadcast on television throughout Europe. These are the only times Canada has featured in the Eurovision Song Contest.

2024 Eurovision Format & Fixtures

The 2024 edition of Eurovision will have a slightly different format than fans are used to. If you’re interested in betting on Eurovision, it’s crucial to understand the competition’s new format first.

This year’s Eurovision will be held over three live shows. The 37 participating countries will perform their songs in two groups in two semi-finals. The first semi-final will feature 15 countries, while the second will feature 16. A total of 11 countries will be eliminated over both semi-finals, which means 26 countries will perform in the Grand Final, set to take place on the 11^th of May.

The Big Five countries—France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Germany—automatically qualify for the contest every year. Traditionally, these countries perform their songs in the Grand Final without participating in the semi-finals.

This year, however, there have been some significant changes to the competition’s format. The Big Five countries will now perform in one of the semi-finals and cast their votes. The same applies to the winning country, which traditionally performed in the Grand Final right away. This year, Sweden will also perform in the semi-finals.

There’s also been a change to how fans can vote in the final. This year, voting will be open throughout the final show, so you can place a bet during a song’s performance rather than wait for the end.

Here’s an overview of the schedule for this year’s Eurovision:

📌 Fixture	📅 Date	⏳ Starting Time
Semi-Final 1	7th May 2024	21:00 CEST
Semi-Final 2	9th May 2024	21:00 CEST
Grand Final	11th May 2024	21:00 CEST

Eurovision 2024 Betting Odds

Eurovision Song Contest betting odds are how bookmakers indicate the probability of an outcome occurring. Betting odds are provided for every possible outcome in an event, whether it’s the country winning the Eurovision or the one finishing last.

The odds on Eurovision bets can be displayed in three formats: decimal, American, or fractional. The decimal or American format is predominantly used in Canadian sportsbooks. The former is the default format at Betiton Canada, but you can choose another format from the menu in the top-right corner.

For example, if Croatia has betting Eurovision odds of 4.25, you can easily calculate your potential winnings by multiplying your stake by this number. If you bet £10 with these odds and your bet wins, you’ll get a return of £42.50.

2024 Eurovision Favourites to Win

According to the latest Eurovision betting odds, Switzerland is the top pick to emerge victorious in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest. The Swiss entry, The Code, performed by rapper and singer Nemo, is currently at the top of the list.  Although Switzerland has won the contest twice, it has been 36 years since their last triumph, but the odds are pointing to Nemo winning the title for his country this year.

On the other hand, Croatia has never won the Eurovision, but their current entry, Rim Tim Tagi Dim by Baby Lasagna, has placed them second in the favourite rankings. Up until a few weeks ago, Croatia was the favourite to win.

The Netherlands, with their song Europapa by Joost Klein, also have favourable odds of winning. They’re currently ranked third in the favourites list. Despite being ranked fifth a few weeks ago, the latest odds and social media activity suggest that the Dutch rapper and musician could secure their country’s sixth win. The Netherlands has won the contest five times, most recently in 2019.

Eurovision Song Contest Betting Markets

Now that you know how to bet on the Eurovision Song Contest, we’ll briefly explain the different betting markets. Like most types of sports betting, there are various markets and bet types, from simpler bets like Eurovision winner betting to ACCA bets.

Below are the most popular 2024 Eurovision betting markets:

• Outright Winner – Most people who bet on the Eurovision bet on the country they think will win the contest. This is the simplest betting market to understand, although it’s difficult to predict correctly.
• Country to Win the 1^st Semi-Final – This is a bet on which country you think will win the first semi-final. It doesn’t matter if the country doesn’t win the Eurovision; it simply needs to place first in the semi-final for your bet to win.
• Country to Win the 2nd Semi-Final – The same kind of betting market described above, but for the second semi-final.

• Top Big 5 Country – The Big 5 countries are Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. Regardless of the previous year’s results, these countries automatically qualify for the Eurovision Grand Final. Betting on the top Big Five country is a bet on which of these five countries you think will achieve the best result.

Live Eurovision Betting 2024

Live 2024 Eurovision betting refers to placing wagers while the contest is taking place. Live betting can be done from the start of the first song until the final performance. The Eurovision betting odds in live betting usually change drastically once the performances begin.

One of the advantages of live Eurovision betting is that you can assess an artist’s performance, like their stage presence, vocals, and even audience reactions while watching the show. This means you’ll be able to make more informed betting decisions based on this knowledge. However, the Eurovision odds usually offer smaller returns when betting live.

2024 Eurovision Betting Tips by Betiton Canada

Sports betting isn’t an entirely random type of betting like playing a slot machine, but the element of chance is always there. Even with the right knowledge and expert predictions, winning your bet is not guaranteed.

The same can be said for Eurovision betting, so it’s important to keep in mind that it’s impossible to get correct predictions every time. With that in mind, we’re sharing our best betting Eurovision tips to help you ensure the highest odds of success and perhaps help you avoid some rookie mistakes.

1. Do your research on the participating countries and the artists representing them.
2. Take into account past wins for each nation, but also consider the number of times the country placed second or third.
3. Consider the song’s language. According to Eurovision statistics, English songs tend to perform better than songs in other languages.
4. Remember that betting odds on Eurovision change regularly, especially after the first live show.
5. Check the artist or group’s pre-Eurovision performances, social media engagement, number of YouTube views, and reactions to the songs.
6. Don’t just bet on the song you like the most; base your bets on expert predictions, odds, and your own research.
7. Understand this year’s Eurovision format with the new changes that have been announced, particularly the voting system. Remember, viewers can now start voting from the first song in the Grand Final rather than waiting for voting time to open after the last performance.
8. Consider both pre-match bets and live Eurovision bets. Both types of bets offer pros and cons, so you might want to consider trying a combination of both.
9. Always bet within your means. Set a budget for betting on the Eurovision and use the right tools to ensure you stick to it. Never gamble with money you can’t afford to lose.
10. Never chase your losses if your bets aren’t successful.
