Eurovision 2020: Bulgaria remains 1st- Boundary differences in top positions

/0 Comments/in , /by

With the  puzzle of the 41 Eurovision 2020 songs wrapped up yesterday, we can have a clearer picture of online betting odds. So far, it looks like we are heading into a race of 5 horses that will fight for the coveted victory in Rotterdam. Bulgaria, Lithuania, Iceland, Switzerland and Russia will cross their swords to win the contest!

The favorites

Bulgaria remains in 1st place, with one of the most beautiful ballads in this year’s competition. Victoria aims for her tears to be tears of joy rather than regret and to bring victory to our neighbors! One year after its absence from Tel Aviv, Bulgaria is in a “pole position” in the event of a victory. Just behind it is Lithuania. The participation that won the hearts of Europeans from the first moment they won the national final. The Roop are back in 2nd place, surpassing Iceland, which has been 3rd since the 1st in a week! But it does not cease to be a winning track.

On the upside we see Switzerland in 4th place, which in some betting companies is in the first place. A breath away from the three pioneers, it will not be surprising to soon be the new Top 3. Gjon’s Tears will attempt to give their country their first win since 1988 and Celine Dion! In fifth place is Russia, the day after the release of “Uno”. Despite being slightly behind other countries, Bear is 1st in at least 1 betting company.

The fact that in a total of 17 companies, all of the above countries occupy at least one of them, is a prime example of how dubious this year’s Eurovision is. This is perhaps an unprecedented statistic in the history of the institution. Bulgaria, Lithuania, Iceland, Switzerland and Russia to claim the victory in the Netherlands on equal terms!

The Top 10

In 6th place you can find Romania. Roxen is on the rise and may soon be in the Top 5! “Alcohol You” is one of the most atmospheric ballads of this year’s Eurovision. However, it will be required to go beyond the barriers of Bulgaria and Switzerland of the same species. Italy remain in 7th place, with Azerbaijan and Malta completing the top ten.

Samira Efendi will bring Oriental perfume to Ahoy Rotterdam’s stage and as another Cleopatra wants to surprise the crowds! The 17-year-old Destiny, Malta’s representative, may well give the Islanders their first appearances in the top 10. Top 10 closes with Germany and Benjamin Dolic!

Much can change in the next two months. The returns, as it stands, will go through several ups and downs. Party appearances, stage presence information and of course the appearances at Ahoy in Rotterdam can be brought up on the boards of betting companies. Nothing will be judged until the night of May 16 and the big Eurovision final!

Eurovision 2020: Bulgaria in 1st place

/0 Comments/in , /by

We’ve had a number of tweaks to the betting table in the last few days, shortly before all entries were announced. Bulgaria is in the first place right now, with Victoria having gained impressions after announcing her participation! Iceland is in second place and Lithuania closes the top 3!

Bulgaria has so far confirmed the momentum of the last few days, aiming for its first victory in the Eurovision contest. Iceland is firmly in the top two places in betting, being one of the most serious contenders for a win in Rotterdam. Lithuania finally “lost ground” down 2 places compared to Friday.

The top five finishes with Switzerland, which wins 1 position, and Russia awaiting the release of its entry. Greece remains 18th with bookers not responding positively to Greek participation for the time being. Finally, Cyprus is in 37th place. The island of Aphrodite is 10 places below what it was last Friday. Of course, the release of Sandro’s song has not been mediated, which does not seem to have gained the confidence of the freelance betting until now.

Much can change in the next two months. The returns, as it stands, will go through several ups and downs. Party appearances, stage presence information and of course the appearances at Ahoy in Rotterdam can be brought up on the boards of betting companies. Nothing will be judged until the night of May 16 and the big Eurovision final!

Eurovision 2020: Frustrating betting failure in the national finals

/0 Comments/in , /by

We have a very strange year this year, as in almost all national selections bets have failed to find the winner. Does this mean something for the winners of the May contest?

Betting on the national finals in Estonia, Ukraine, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Italy failed to predict the winner correctly. The only case where the bets were correct was in Iceland and Norway. But let’s look at them in detail.

Betting failures

In Sanremo, Italy, the festival’s opening day was Anastasio with the final winner Diodato just sixth. In Ukraine, betting failure was unprecedented, with only 1%,the Go-A winning 68%, and the end result was different. In Estonia, Jaagum Tuisk was a big favorite with a double chance of winning. But the result was overwhelming in favor of Uku Suviste, who won Eesti Laul with 68% of the vote. Finland has perhaps had the biggest surprise of this season. Erika Vikman with “Ciciolina” was a sure winner for most. With very low odds on bets and millions of views and streamings. She finally came in second behind Aksel Kankaanranta. A big favorite in Sweden was Dotter, who preceded not only bets but also polls and YouTube views. The Mamas, though with higher odds, did the surprise and beat Dotter by one point. Finally, in Denmark, although we had similar performances for the first two songs, at the time of live show, the winning entry was second, from a song not even qualified to the superfinal.

The few successes

The only betting successes at this year’s national finals were in Iceland and Norway. In Iceland, contrary to the forecasts of fans who wanted Iva to win the national final, they correctly concluded that Daði & Gagnamagnið would be the winners of the Söngvakeppnin 2020. The second correct prediction winner came to Norway, with Ulrikke Brandst.

The bets on the Eurovision winner

The winners of the contest are also hesitant, since we do not remember less than two months after Eurovision, the first favorite to have a 5.5 to 7 odds, when at the respective time of the previous years, the the first favorite had odds of even less than 3.

Isn’t there a song that can convince that it can win? Is it about the failures of companies to predict the winners in the national finals? Do they think that the staging of the entries will really overturn current forecasts?

The truth is that this year we have the most bizarre and unpredictable competition and many will change by Saturday 16 May.
