Bets: The odds after the completion of the national finals!

A few hours have passed since the conclusion of the national finals of this year’s Eurovision season, with Sweden and Portugal being the last two countries to choose the song that will represent them in the 68th Eurovision Song Contest.

That’s why one of Eurovisionfun ‘s most loved and talked about columns is back, with our Eurovision 2024 betting analyses back again.

As you prepare for the pivotal next few days with the unveiling of the remaining entries ahead of May, bookers are already getting down to business, with the Eurovision 2024 winner section already being offered to some bookmakers. So, we’re taking the opportunity to bring you the so far for the next competition.

Croatia tops the list – Shuffles in the top five

The situation at the top remains unchanged, with Croatia having been in first place for ten days now. Baby Lasagna ‘s sweeping victory at Dora has put Croatia in the top spot in the betting tables for the first time in their history. Croatia’ s victory is currently being bet at odds between 4 and 5.25, odds slightly higher compared to those played when our last analysis was written.

Ukraine remains in second place. Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil may have fallen from the top spot, however, their distance from leading Croatia is very small, with Ukraine’s fourth win in the Eurovision Song Contest being bet at odds between 4.33 and 5.6.

Italy has moved back up to third place. More or less at the same level are the odds of Angelina Mango winning with “La Noia” , returning between 7.5 and 10 times the stake of anyone who believes in the second Italian victory in the last four years.

And now let’s go to the countries that complete the top five, where we have two entries that have risen significantly in recent days. Fourth is now Switzerland after the release of Nemo ‘s “The Code“, which has moved up six places compared to our last analysis, now directly threatening third place Italy. Switzerland ‘s victory is being bet at odds between 6 and 10 and it is only a matter of hours – it seems – to move into third place.

The top five is completed by the Netherlands, with Joost Klein ‘s “Europapa” having won the impressions and hearts of a large part of the public. The Western European country’s entry is the biggest winner of the last few days, being 20 places higher than in our analysis ten days ago. Between 11 and 15 is the Dutch victory in Malmö.

Top 10

Belgium is in sixth place. The release of Mustii ‘s “Before the Party’s Over” a few days ago seems to have initially excited the betting companies, who now have the Western European country out of the Top 5 a few days after its release. Belgium ‘s victory is being bet at odds between 11 and 17, being only slightly higher than those of the leading Netherlands.

Sweden dropped to seventh place, a few hours after the grand final of this year’s edition of Melodifestivalen where Marcus & Martinus won with “Unforgettable“. Sweden ‘s home win is offered at odds between 11 and 19, marking a slight rise compared to our last analysis and dropping this year’s organisers by one place.

Eighth place is taken by France, who have been trending upwards in recent days, especially after Slimane ‘s performance in the Croatian national final a week ago. Up to 21 times the stake is returned on “Mon Amour“.

In ninth place is now Georgia. Just one day before the release of Nutsa Buzaladze ‘s “Firefighter“, the Caucasian country has moved into the top ten, dropping its odds sharply in recent times and, at the same time, creating a climate of anticipation and expectations for the unveiling of this year’s Georgian entry. Georgia’s victory is being played at odds between 15 and 26.

Rounding out the top ten is Israel, who return to the top ten just hours before the release of “Hurricane“, which Eden Golan will compete with in Malmö. Like leading Georgia, Israel’s win returns up to 26 times the stakes.

Betting Odds: Croatia Takes the Lead surpassing Ukraine!

With less than two weeks left until the official release of all entries for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, we are entering the most crucial period of the pre-Eurovision season, with national finals and entry reveals multiplying day by day.

For this reason, one of Eurovisionfun’s most beloved and discussed columns returns, with the betting analyses for the Eurovision 2024 once again here.

While you prepare for the crucial weeks ahead with most entries being revealed for May, bookmakers have already begun their work, with the Eurovision 2024 winner section already being offered by some companies. Seizing the opportunity, we present to you the latest developments for the upcoming contest.

Upset at the Top

After a long time, the top spot in the betting odds for Eurovision 2024 has a new holder, with Croatia surpassing Ukraine just a few minutes ago. The sweeping victory of Baby Lasagna at Dora brought Croatia to the top of the betting odds for the first time in its history. The victory of Croatia is currently bet on at odds between 4 and 5, which have been steadily decreasing in recent days.

Thus, in the second place is now Ukraine. Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil may have fallen from the top, however, their distance from the leading Croatia remains small, although the momentum currently favors Croatia. Ukraine’s odds are on the rise, with a potential victory more than quadrupling the bet.

In the third position, Iceland has risen again after the appearance of Bashar Murad in the Icelandic national final. “Wild West” seems to have impressed in recent days, with bookmakers significantly reducing Iceland’s odds, ranging from 7 to 9.

Reflecting the rise of Croatia to the top and Iceland to third, was the fall of Italy to the fourth position. However, this development does not mean an increase in the odds for Angelina Mango with “La Noia“. Italy is bet on at odds from 7 to 10, at the same levels as our previous analysis when it was in second place.

Completing the top five is the United Kingdom, which, however, has a considerable gap compared to the leading countries. With the release of “Dizzy” in the next few hours, it remains to be seen how bookmakers will be influenced by the finalized form of the British entry for Malmo. Currently, the UK’s victory returns up to 15 times the bet.

Top 10

In the sixth position and for the first time outside the Top 5 during this year’s Eurovision season, Sweden has fallen. The relatively low level of this year’s Melodifestivalen has raised the odds for the host country. A Swedish victory on home soil is offered at odds between 13 and 17, marking a slight increase compared to our last analysis.

In the seventh position is Belgium. The release of “Before the Party’s Over” by Mustii a few days ago seems to have thrilled betting companies, which now have the country outside the Top 5 a few days after its release. Belgium’s victory is bet on at odds between 13 and 17, at levels similar to Sweden.

In the eighth position, one finds France, which presents upward trends in recent days, especially after Slimane’s appearance in the Croatian national final a week ago. France’s odds return up to 21 times the bet with “Mon Amour.”

Ninth is now “Luktelk” by Silvester Belt from Lithuania, which may have dropped one position compared to our last analysis but remains within the top ten. Lithuania’s maiden victory is played at similar odds to those of France.

Finally, Switzerland completes the top ten, just hours after the release of “The Code” by Nemo. Upward trends for the country in Central Europe, as seen in the betting odds, with Switzerland possibly to climb even higher in the coming days. Switzerland’s victory is bet on at odds between 17 and 26.

Ukraine: Watch Jerry Heil & Alyona Alyona perform “Teresa & Maria” in Lithuania!

Representatives of Ukraine at Eurovision 2024, Jerry Heil & Alyona Alyona, met at LRT, where the final event of the “Radarom!” support campaign for Ukraine took place. They both participated in the event, performing live the song “Teresa & Maria“.

Silvester Belt, the representative of Lithuania at Eurovision 2024, met the Ukrainian representatives backstage during the concert. They had the opportunity to get acquainted, converse, exchange pleasantries, and teach each other various phrases in their native languages.

“It’s wonderful that they wanted to get to know each other, to connect, to communicate, and to maintain a beautiful friendship from the beginning. The performers were very charming, friendly, and I have no doubt that they are ready to impress Europe. I feel honored because I have already become a fan of theirs. I believe they will be at the top. At least in my personal ranking, for sure. We must remember that the war is not over yet; it continues, so we need to focus and make sacrifices,” Silvester Belt stated on LRT.lt.

 

It’s worth noting that both Ukraine and Lithuania will appear in the first half of the first semi-final on May 7th.

Betting Odds Reshuffled with Ukraine Leading the Pack!

With less than a month remaining until the official release of all entries for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, we are entering the most crucial month of the pre-Eurovision period, with national finals multiplying week by week.

For this reason, one of Eurovisionfun’s most beloved and talked-about columns returns, with betting analyses for Eurovision 2024 back in action.

While you prepare for the pivotal weeks ahead with the revelations of most entries ahead of May, bookmakers have already been hard at work, with the winner section of Eurovision 2024 already being offered by some companies. So, let’s take this opportunity and present to you what we know so far for the next contest.

Ukraine Emerges as the Top Favorite

As mentioned earlier, February is the month of most national finals, and understandably, this has caused reshuffles in the betting tables. Far ahead in the first position sits Ukraine. The Eastern European country, which has consistently topped the betting odds in recent weeks, is considered the major favorite by bookmakers to win in Malmo.

The triumph of Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil at Vidbir, where they “flattened” their competition, has skyrocketed the odds for Ukraine to win the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. At the moment, a Ukrainian victory returns up to 3.8 times the bet.

Italy has now risen to the second position. Angelina Mango’s victory with “La Noia” at the San Remo Festival has put the Mediterranean country in a particularly advantageous position, with bookmakers considering it the second most likely winner at the moment. Italy’s odds range from 7.5 to 10.

Croatia Takes the Third Spot

Croatia now sits in third place. The release of the video clip for Baby Lasagna’s entry, considered the major favorite to represent the Balkans in Malmo, has propelled Croatia to third place, just a breath away from second-placed Italy. Croatia’s victory is currently bet on odds ranging between 8 and 10.

In the fourth position is Sweden. The host country of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest is once again considered one of the big favorites of this year’s competition, with SVT executives and Swedish Eurofans eager for the historic eighth victory to take place on Swedish soil. A victory for Sweden is offered at odds between 11 and 15, showing a slight increase compared to our last analysis.

Rounding up the top five is Belgium. The recent release of “Before the Party’s Over” by Mustii seems to have thrilled betting companies, placing the Western European country within the Top 5 for the first time during this Eurovision season. Belgium’s victory is bet on odds between 10 and 15, just below the fourth position.

Top 10

In sixth place with clearly declining trends is the United Kingdom. Olly Alexander’sDizzy” teaser seems to have neither thrilled nor convinced bookmakers, who have now placed the United Kingdom outside the top five. It’s a significant drop, with the UK’s victory now returning up to 15 times the bet.

From there onwards, deviations from the group of leading six countries begin. Thus, in seventh place is Norway, whose victory now returns up to 21 times the bet. Similar odds are found for Iceland in seventh place, awaiting the second semifinal of the national selection, where Bashar Murad, of Palestinian descent, competes.

Lithuania follows in eighth place, which has returned to the top ten after Silvester Belt’s selection with “Luktelk“. Odds range between 17 and 21. France has returned to the top ten after a long time, with Slimane, whose potential victory triples the bet placed on it. Finally, Switzerland completes the Top 10, with odds ranging between 23 and 34.

Timur Miroshnychenko hopes that Ukraine will manage to host Eurovision next year!

Eurovision commentator on behalf of the Ukrainian nation television and one of the hosts of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, Timur Miroshnychenko mentioned in an interview that he hopes Ukraine will be able to host next year’s Eurovision edition!

Timur spoke to Eurovoix’s podcast, where he expressed his optimism for this year’s Ukrainian entry. More specifically, according to him, “Teresa & Maria” has all the qualities needed in order to bring the Eurovision trophy and ultimately, the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 back to Ukraine.

In the upcoming years, maybe next year, we will get the opportunity to host Eurovision in Ukraine. I want all people from different European countries and the rest of the world to have the chance to come to Ukraine and listen themselves all the “thank you” words from Ukrainian people.

Looking back at the Ukrainian victory in 2022, brought by Kalush Orchestra with the song “Stefania”, Timur noted the fact that it would be the most important broadcasting of his career:

Of course we understood that there are millions of people throughout the world who support us… but that night all of us Ukrainians, we realised we are not alone.

Although Ukraine won in 2022, it was not possible for them to host the Contest, due to the ongoing conflict between the country and Russia, after the latter’s attack. Therefore EBU decided to hold the Contest in Liverpool with BBC.

This year, Ukraine is represented by Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil with ‘Teresa & Maria” and right now, they are the big favorite to win the Contest, taking into consideration the betting odds.

Betting Odds: Ukraine Leads by Margin | Greece and Cyprus out of Top 20!

Following the first Super Saturday of the year, we saw significant reshuffling in the betting odds chart. Three new songs were selected last night, and the odds saw many changes, with Ukraine maintaining its top position, and moreover, with a clear lead. Bad news for Greece, which has significantly dropped compared to our previous article, and for Cyprus, which, despite gaining ground, still finds itself low in the rankings.

Top 5

Ukraine remains in the first position, with a considerable lead over its pursuers. A victory for Teresa Maria is playing out in odds of approximately 3.5, with no significant changes compared to our previous article. The United Kingdom, after the release of a teaser for Olly Alexander’s song “Dizzy,” temporarily dropped to third place, but is now back in second. A victory for the United Kingdom is playing out in odds ranging from 7 to 9. Italy is third, and after Angelina Mango’s victory, its odds have dropped, with a victory playing out in odds from 7.5 to 11. Sweden is fourth, and so far, has not convinced that it has a winning song. Rounding out the top 5 is Israel, which, after Eden Golan’s victory, regained some ground it had lost in the previous period.

The other countries making up the top 10 are Iceland, Croatia, Georgia, Finland, and Ireland.

Greece and Cyprus

Greece continues to lose ground and is now found in 21st place. A victory for Marina Satti is playing out in odds of up to 66, when just a few months ago, it was playing out in odds up to 35. Cyprus, on the other hand, had an upward trajectory in recent days, likely due to the publicity received from the filming of the video clip in Limassol. Cyprus is now in 27th place, with a potential victory for Silia Kapsis playing out in odds of up to 90.

The many fluctuations we have seen this year at the top of the betting odds herald an exciting year where we won’t know the winner early on, as happened in the previous two seasons. Of course, under the proviso that no song emerges as a clear favorite, and betting companies crown it the unbeatable favorite, as was the case with Stefania and “Tattoo.” We are likely heading towards a repeat of 2021, where things didn’t clear up even during rehearsals, as we had 3-4 songs that were betting favorites vying for victory on almost equal terms.

“Teresa & Maria” is officially Ukraine’s Eurovision 2024 entry!

Ukraine‘s entry for the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest was selected through Vidbir 2024, which was held last Saturday. However, because of technical difficulties with the voting process, the results were not made public until one day later. Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil were the winners and therefore representatives of Ukraine, with the song “Teresa & Maria”.

The representation of Ukraine by “Teresa & Maria” became official today, following the signing of the necessary documents by the artists and the country’s public broadcaster,

Disagreements between the winners of Vidbir and the Ukrainian public television in 2019 and 2022 resulted in these documents not being signed, which in turn caused the country’s representative to be replaced. More precisely, despite placing second in the national final, Kalush Orchestra took Alina Pash‘s position in 2022. Accordingly, Maruv‘s refusal to sign the respective contracts, due to their restrictive terms, led to Ukraine’s withdrawal from Eurovision 2019.

Eurovision 2024: Ukraine is now the frontrunner to win!

As February, the most crucial month of the pre-Eurovision period, unfolds, national finals are multiplying week by week. Simultaneously, an increasing number of songs that will compete in the 68th Eurovision Song Contest are being revealed. For this reason, one of Eurovisionfun’s most beloved and discussed columns returns, featuring betting analyses for Eurovision 2024.

As you prepare for an “hot” Eurovision February with the reveals of most entries ahead of May, bookmakers are already hard at work. The section for the winner of Eurovision 2024 is already available at some companies. Let’s take this opportunity to present what has been observed so far for the upcoming competition.

Ukraine Emerges as a Strong Favorite

As mentioned in the introduction, February is the month of numerous national finals. The first “Super Saturday” of the year has already caused reshuffling in the betting odds. Ukraine stands far ahead in the first position. The Eastern European country, consistently at the top of the betting boards in recent weeks, is considered the major favorite by bookmakers to win in Malmo.

The triumph of Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil at Vidbir, where they convincingly outperformed their competitors, has significantly affected the odds for Ukraine‘s victory in the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. At present, Ukrainian victory returns up to 3.5 times the stake, compared to odds ranging from 5.7 to 7 just a few days ago.

With the widespread sympathy towards Ukraine due to the ongoing Russian invasion and the quality of Ukrainian entries in Eurovision, betting companies consider the fourth win for Ukraine in its twenty-year Eurovision history highly probable. The competition’s current odds have also been influenced by the relatively weak competition compared to previous years.

Top 5

The United Kingdom maintains its second position. The odds for the United Kingdom have dropped and are lower than they were ten days ago. The assignment to Olly Alexander and the expectations created by the BBC’s choice put pressure on the odds, ranging between 6 and 7. Currently, the United Kingdom appears as the most likely competitor to Ukraine based on bookmakers.

Italy retains the third position just a day before the highly anticipated Sanremo Festival, which boasts one of its strongest line-ups in its long history. The odds for Italy have slightly decreased, and the country is currently offered in odds between 8 and 10. The events in the small Ligurian town in the coming days are expected to influence Italy’s standing in the betting odds.

Iceland occupies the fourth position. Bashar Murad‘s song in Iceland’s national final did not convince bookmakers that it could secure the coveted victory in Reykjavik. Iceland has fallen to the fourth position with noticeably declining trends. The potential maiden victory for Iceland is currently being betted between 7 and 12 times the stake.

Sweden secures the fifth position. As the host country of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, Sweden is once again considered one of the major favorites. The odds for Sweden winning within its borders are between 11 and 13, showing a slight increase compared to the last analysis.

Top 10

In the sixth position is Israel, which sees its odds fluctuate but still maintains a relatively high position. The geopolitical reality and the war in Gaza keep Israel in contention, with victory odds ranging between 11 and 13.

From seventh place onward, significant deviations from the top six countries begin. Lithuania, in seventh place, has seen a considerable drop in odds, with the potential maiden victory returning up to 26 times the stake.

The same trend is observed for Norway, Ireland, and Croatia, which complete the top ten. All three are playing with odds above 20, with Norway‘s odds turning red after the Gåte‘s selection, while Ireland‘s turned green following the choice of Bambie Thug. Croatia‘s entry – most possibly – by Baby Lasagna and the artist’s popularity have brought Croatia into the top ten for the first time this season.

Can Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil make history in Malmo and give Ukraine its fourth victory in twenty years of Eurovision participation? Share your thoughts in the comments! Eurovisionfun will continue to provide updates and analyses as the Eurovision journey unfolds. Stay tuned for more exciting developments in the world of Eurovision 2024!

 

Ukraine: Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil will represent the country in Malmö with “Teresa & Maria”!

Tonight it was Ukraine’s turn to select their entry for Eurovision 2024. Just a while ago, Vidbir 2024, the Ukrainian national selection for Eurovision 2024, was concluded. Vidbir served for another year as the country’s selection method for Eurovision and was broadcasted live from Kyiv, Ukraine. The national final was scheduled for yesterday but because of a technical problem, which caused the crush of Diia app, via which the audience’s votes were casted, there could not be a valid result yesterday. Instead, the voting platform remained open till a while ago and following a new broadcast, we now have a winner.

Hosted by Timur Miroshnychenko, Yuliya Sanina and Vasyl Baidak and following the combination of votes from a national jury, the members of which were selected by the Ukrainian public via on online poll and televoting, Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil were crowned as the winners with their song “Teresa & Maria“.

389 entries were submitted to the Ukrainian broadcaster, out of which twenty were long-listed. The twenty long-listed entries were reduced to ten and among the remaining ten, an online poll was held in order to determine the artist who would join the final line-up. Hence, a total of eleven acts advanced to the televised final of Vidbir 2024 and were the following:

  1. YAKTAK  —  “Lalala”
  2. INGRET  —  “Keeper”
  3. NAZVA  —  “Slavic English”
  4. ANKA  —  “Palala”
  5. Drevo  —  “Endless chain”
  6. alyona alyona & Jerry Heil  —  “Teresa & Maria”
  7. MÉLOVIN  —  “DREAMER”
  8. SKYLERR  —  “Time is running out”
  9. Ziferblat  —  “Place I Call Home”
  10. YAGODY  —  “Tsunamia”
  11. NAHABA  —  “GLASS”

Vidbir 2024 – in detail

YAKTAK  —  “Lalala

An energetic performance by YAKTAK. Full of lights, lasers and with a memorable choreography, it was a perfect opener for tonight’s show. Vocally-wise there could be many improvements. A radio-friendly song and as highlighted by the judges, uncertain whether it is suitable for the Eurovision stage.

INGRET  —  “Keeper

A mystical performance by INGRET. The atmosphere there was dark, full of smoke. While it was touching enough, I was not convinced and her vocals did not really help.

NAZVA  —  “Slavic English

Quite an ethnic tune from NAZVA. A fun and colorful performance for sure. However, it was not convincing enough with the judges not thinking that “Slavic English” is that suitable for Eurovision, as other contestants’ messages are in greater need to be heard.

ANKA  —  “Palala

Here we have the online wildcard. ANKA is here to win and we are all wondering how she was not in the final line-up at first. The flute is present here as well and the performance was really strong. ANKA is definitely one of the contenders for the Ukrainian representation in Malmö.

Drevo  —  “Endless chain

Not a fan of the song, not a fan of the performance as well. It all seemed quite weird. The concept was not quite it. The add of a rock band instead of the two girls with the guitars would be a better choice.

alyona alyona & Jerry Heil  —  “Teresa & Maria

The big favorites of the night gave us goosebumps. Although, there were some sound problems at the beginning of the performances, the duo seemed to make it. The song has something quite anthemic and will sure stand out on the Eurovision stage. However, the performance definitely needs to be elevated for Malmö.

MÉLOVIN  —  “DREAMER

MÉLOVIN is back to be the first Ukrainian returning artist. Much different, in comparison to his last Eurovision appearance, he dominates the stage. Although there were no back-up dancers, the camera work really elevated the performance. A possible contender for sure.

SKYLERR  —  “Time is running out

A surprise, I would say. It all looks better off stage. The vocals were good, the performance was powerful as well. However, I don’t think it would be enough.

Ziferblat  —  “Place I Call Home

A nice performance overall. However, the song doesn’t seem that suitable for Eurovision!

YAGODY  —  “Tsunamia

The most ethnic performance of the night. It has a powerful folk sound and the performance was intense as well. However, it seemed messy. Nothing more, nothing less.

NAHABA  —  “GLASS

By far the most confusing performance of the night. It didn’t feel unique to me…just horrendous. Nice try with being original, though!

The show, also, included performances of Ruslana, Jamala, Kalush Orchestra, TVORCHI, Verka Serduchka, Tina Karol and Anastasia Dymyd. Just before the announcement of the results, all participants joined Dmytro Shrove, Vidbir’s musical director, on stage.

The voting process

A national jury along with the TV audience vote decided in equal shares who would fly the Ukrainian flag in Malmö.

National Jury

The national jury consisted of the following members:

  1. Andriy Danylko (VERKA SERDUCHKA) – Representative of Ukraine at Eurovision 2007
  2. Jamala – Winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 as well as the “Outstanding Artist Leadership Award” from the Atlantic Council of the United States in 2022
  3. Serhiy Tanchynets – singer, musician, producer and leader of the rock band BEZ LIMITATIONS

The afore-mentioned awarded their points as following:

11 points – ZIFERBLAT

10 points – Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil

9 points – MELOVIN

8 points – INGRET

7 points – YAGODY

6 points – YAKTAK

5 points – ANKA

4 points – DREVO

3 points – SKYLERR

2 points – NAZVA

1 point – NAHABA

ZIFERBLAT was jury’s pick for Eurovision 2024.

Audience’s vote

A total of 1.167.185 votes were casted via Diia app. The TV audience voted as following:

11 points – Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil

10 points – YAKTAK

9 points – MELOVIV

8 points – ZIFERBLAT

7 points – YAGODY

6 points – SKYLERR

5 points – NAHABA

4 points – ANKA

3 points – DREVO

2 points – INGRET

1 point – NAZVA

Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil was public’s pick for Eurovision 2024. Indicatively, they collected approximately 62% of the total votes, namely 723.297 votes.

The winner

Following the combination of the above and with a total of 21 points, Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil were crowned as the winnerS of Vidbir 2024 and will therefore serve as the country’s representatives in the 68th Eurovision Song Contest that will take place in Malmö in May. Ukraine is allocated to perform at the first half of the first semi-final on May 7.
