Eurovision Betting Explained

Eurovision Song Contest winner betting is a simple form of betting that anyone can enjoy before or during the big event. However, while placing a Eurovision bet isn’t complicated, predicting the winner isn’t so straightforward. Reading the latest expert tips and predictions before gambling on Eurovision is the best way to ensure the highest odds of winning, but like any other form of betting, results can be unpredictable.

Besides the Eurovision Song Contest winner odds, there are other factors to consider before placing a bet, such as the overall popularity of the singer/s, possible alliances with neighbouring countries that may influence votes, and past winners.

Eurovision 2024 Format & Schedule

The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will be held on the 11th of May 2024. The 68th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will be hosted in the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden.

Two major changes to this year’s format have also been announced recently. First, the Big 5 countries will now perform their songs during the Semi-Finals. In previous editions, these countries would perform during the Jury show portion of both Semi-Finals.

There’s also been a big change to the way viewers can vote. This year, viewers will be able to vote in the Grand Final from the start rather than waiting for the last song performance before voting opens.

Here’s an overview of this year’s planned schedule for this event.

Event 🎶	Date 📅	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 Betting Odds

As you can see from the table above, there are two types of odds formats that a bookmaker can use: fractional and decimal odds. At Betiton UK, you can choose your preferred format in the settings. These odd types are explained briefly in the following sections.

Fractional Odds

The Eurovision winner betting odds provided in the previous section use decimal odds, the most common odds format in the UK. Fractional odds are more commonly used by US bookmakers and betting sites.

Fractional odds are a little more complex until you get used to the format. This type of odds allows you to calculate how much you can win from your bet and how much you need to bet to win it. For example, odds of 15/1 indicate that for every £1 bet, you win £15 if the bet is successful.

Decimal Odds

The decimal format is the most commonly used for Eurovision odds in the UK. Many will agree that it’s the easiest format to understand, especially if you’re new to betting. For example, Croatia currently has odds of 4.33 to win the Eurovision Song Contest. This means that if you were to bet £1 and they win, you’ll receive a payout of £4.33. If you bet £10, the payout would be £45.

The only thing you need to remember about decimal odds is that the smaller the number, the higher the chances of winning. For instance, if we compare Croatia’s odds of 4.33 with France’s Mon Amour odds of 26, it’s clear that Croatia has a much higher chance of winning.

Eurovision Betting Markets

Most Eurovision bets are placed on the winning country/song, but you might be surprised to find several other betting Eurovision markets available. Besides betting on the winner, you can also bet on which country will end up in the last place, which country the jury will select, and many others.

In the following section, we’ll explore the top five Eurovision bookmaker markets available in the UK.

Outright Winner

The most popular Eurovision betting market is the outright winner. This means you bet on the country you think will finish in the first place in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest. These odds tend to change as we get closer to the date, especially after the Semi-Finals eliminate 18 countries.

Top 10 Finish

Another common Eurovision winner bet market is the Top 10 Finish. This refers to betting on the countries that you think will finish in the top 10 places. This bet offers better odds of winning than the previous bet, but the payout is lower. Your bet wins if your chosen country finishes anywhere within the top 10.

Top Scoring Country

A similar betting market allows you to bet on which country you think will receive the highest number of points in the contest. Remember, 50% of the votes in the Eurovision come from the jury, while the rest comes from the audience. Like the Eurovision bet winner market, it’s usually difficult to predict.

Semi-Finals Qualification

The Semi-Finals bet Eurovision market is a bet on which countries will qualify for the Final. Participating countries compete over two Semi-Finals. The bet involves predicting which countries will make it through both Semi-Finals (not the Big Five).

Last Place Betting

Instead of trying to predict the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, another interesting market is to bet on the country you think will finish in last place. However, it can be just as tricky to predict as the Eurovision winner. If your chosen country finishes in the place before the last or any other position, you’ll lose the bet.

Eurovision 2024 Betting Tips by Betiton UK

Any form of sports betting, including betting on the Eurovision, is inherently risky. Surprises always happen in the world of betting, and the odds aren’t always accurate either. With that in mind, there are a few betting odds Eurovision tips you can use to ensure the best odds for yourself:

• Observe past trends – The best way to make smart betting decisions is to observe past trends. For example, Ireland and Sweden have both won the Eurovision Song Contest seven times. Russia also has a great track record, while Scandinavian countries have collectively won six times. Past results don’t necessarily predict future results, but it’s important to consider them.
• Consider other markets besides the Outright Winner – The Outright Winner market is not only difficult to predict, but the odds are usually quite low, so you don’t get much value for your bet. We recommend exploring other markets like the Top 5 and Top 10 Countries.
• Take advantage of early odds – If you place your bets several weeks before the Semi-finals, you’ll be able to take advantage of the best odds. However, don’t forget that odds get more accurate the closer the big event is, but the potential payout also gets lower. Predicting the winner very early is tricky, but the payouts are usually worthwhile if you get it right.
• Vary your bets – Rather than placing all your gambling budget on a single bet, such as the Outright Winner, placing a few smaller bets on different markets is better. This will give you a better chance of winning at least one of your bets.
• Follow what the judges and fans are saying – It may be a good idea to follow trending posts on social media about the Eurovision. This will give you an indication of which songs are doing well with the Eurovision fanbase and which are getting less attention.
