Italy: The first betting odds of Sanremo 2023!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 73rd Sanremo Song Festival will be held in February, but the betting companies, shortly after the announcement of the competing artists, have already given the first odds on the winner, who will probably also be the representative of Italy in Eurovision 2023.

The big favorite seems to be Ultimo, who was also the favorite and came very close to the victory of Sanremo 2019. At that time he even won the televote in the final stage of the festival with a percentage of 49%, compared to only 21% collected by Mahmood, who however secured his victory thanks to the support of the juries.

The popular artist Marco Mengoni, winner of Sanremo and Italy’s representative at Eurovision 2013, follows with a small margin, while a victory seems also possible for the legend of the Italian music industry, Giorgia, and the fan favorites, Elodie and Madame.

See the betting odds in detail:

Of course, all of the above are subject to change, once the journalists exclusively listen and review the participating songs.

We remind you that Festival di Sanremo 2023 will be held from the 7th to the 11th of February. In addition to the above artists, the top six ranked artists in Sanremo Giovani, which will be held on December 12, will also win a place among the Big of Festival di Sanremo in February.

Last year’s winners of Festival di Sanremo, Mahmood & Blanco, went on to represent host country Italy at Eurovision 2022 with their song “Brividi”. They managed to bring their country to the top 10 of the Grand Final for the second year in a row, finishing in 6th place:

The first rumors about the 73rd Sanremo Festival are emerging.  The artistic director of the Italian festival wants pop superstars Britney Spears and Lady Gaga as international guests.

According to the website Coming Soon, Amadeus wants to have the pop princess in Sanremo.

In the early 2000s Britney Spears, was one of the most renowned and highest paid pop stars in the world. However, in 2008 she ended in a conservatorship with her father as conservator.  Britney continued working but suffered the lack of freedom until August 2021. Winner of countless music awards, Britney had her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at the age of 21.

According to these rumors, the managers of Britney Spears have already been contacted and therefore the negotiation is underway. In addition, someone revealed that Amadeus was undecided whether to call Britney Spears or Lady Gaga and that the choice was not easy. Finally, it seems that Spears will receive at least 200,000 euros for her participation.
