Isreal were allowed to participate in Eurovision after they made changes in lyrics of song:

Despite it, their entry probably won't be less contraversial because of this.

No I kinda agree but what did you expect? High art or song that you can resonate with on a very personal level from an international competition?
Eurovision's format kinda favors low effort easy to understand songs. So rarely an artist will go there with his best song. They'll just write a pop song quite hastily specifically for the competition. It's a competition known for pop and RnB songs because they have the widest appeal. But there's the occasional outlier that also does well. We live for these moments here, like when Italy won.

If you think about it, even in Eurovision's "golden" era, the good music we remember from there is still corny pop songs like ABBA's waterloo...

Music from past looks better because it gives us nostalgy about our youth, childhod, bring back some good memories. Wouldn't say that nowadays music is bad, simply you shouldn't look at mainstream music. It applies to Eurovision too, this contest is mainly about genereic pop music. But every year we have at least we have at least few more sophisticated entries.
About Italy, seems that they simply can't send bad songs and it applies to their this year entry. And yeah, when Maneskin won few years ago, it let them to become one of the most popular bands in the world now.

And there are of course others, such as BK8, Cloudbet, Duelbits, FortuneJack, Sportsbet, Stake...

Probably almost all bokmakers have it, after all, it's one of biggest events in Europe, only Olympics and football World Cup/Euro can compete with it.

You're both right, not every song from back in the day was a timeless work of art.  There was a ton of corny pop back then too! Even the Beatles were written off as junk once upon a time when they first came out, yet now we see them as undisputed legends.

Nowadays there's no shortage of raw talent in music, if you're willing to dig below the mainstream hits.  We just gotta put in the effort to explore different genres and find what suits our tastes - there truly is something for everyone.  Same idea applies to Eurovision.  Granted you'll always have some sugary throwaway tunes.  But if you keep an open mind...

So is anyone going to vote those non-favourites? I just reclaimed my JUN airdrop, so i am cashing that and wagering it for Finland.
Finland had 67x multiplier in bc.game (biggest one i've seen), so i wanted to try there. But since i didn't recall if i had registered yet, i tried to search all my emails from "bd.game", and nothing came up.

So i made an account there, and while i looked around before depositing, i spinned that flashy wheel with those free JB tokens as a bet. There came a popup screen saying that i wasn't eligible for the prize as someone has already registered an account from my ip or my computer. Now i am afraid to use that site anymore, because it will probably look like double accounting on purpose.

Stake had just 66x multiplier, so that's gonna do fine. But i would like to see odds for other crypto casinos for comparison and i didn't find eurovision from others you listed, even with google. Maybe you can give direct links?

I see many eurovision fans discussing Greece's entry favorably on social media this year. Here's the music video for anyone interested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTSTnLWGUPs

Marina Satti always has overproduced dances on her music videos, and this one especially is very campy in portraying modern Greek cultural icons in a very kitsch fashion. As a song though, it's not that interesting to me. Aesthetically pleasing for sure but nothing life changing. Also the vocals at the start are quite weird. Dunno though, at least we'll probably get to the final. After last year's tragic entry it's a fresh song to send to Eurovision which I'm glad about for my country. Also in our native language, which would be nice to see perform well.

Yeah, Eurovision betting odds can be a bit tricky to find on some gambling platforms. Most casinos tend to focus more on traditional sports or esports.

Here's what you can try:

• Check the "Specials" or "Entertainment" sections: Some crypto casinos might list Eurovision odds under these categories instead of traditional sports.

For example:

Code:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/eurovision/international/eurovision-2024/eurovision-2024-65e1b11faafd2b00010c2f01
https://wolf.bet/sportsbook/sports/specials/music/eurovision-song-contest
https://www.cloudbet.com/en/sports/entertainment/outrights

• Optionally, explore similar URL paths: Some casinos share the same sportsbook provider or software, so you can try manually modifying the URL to see if it leads you to Eurovision odds.

For example:

Code:

https://rollbit.com/sports?bt-path=%2Fspecials-18
https://roobet.com/sports?bt-path=%2Fspecials-18
https://fortunejack.com/crypto-sportsbook?bt-path=%2Fspecials-18
https://duckdice.io/sport?bt-path=%2Fspecials-18
https://betfury.io/sports/specials-18?bt-path=%2Fspecials-18

Hopefully, this helps you find the best odds!

It's a good entry from Greece, the music, the song in Greek and the music video are quite original. I wonder if I will not send a vote for her during the sem-final(2nd) because she competes in the semi-final whose my country can vote. I like Denmark too in this semi-final so maybe I will vote for both entries at the end. 4 countries are missing for now though (Albania, Armenia, Georgia and Israel) and another one in the first semi-final (Azerbaijan).

You're right, there are still a few countries missing. Albania, Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan haven't revealed their entries yet.

Though, Israel actually has confirmed their participation and released their song already, it's called "Hurricane" by Eden Golan. Maybe the betting odds haven't been updated yet to reflect that.

Though, Israel actually has confirmed their participation and released their song already, it's called "Hurricane" by Eden Golan. Maybe the betting odds haven't been updated yet to reflect that.

I see that this new song was released only a few hours ago on Eurovision's official YouTube account. It's interesting that Israel had an entire back up song and music video in production after their "October Rain" debacle. Also interesting how the European Broadcasting Union didn'g outright disqualify it and let them in with a different song.

As a song it's a more fitting song for Eurovision. But 17.00 is good enough based on how many Eurovision fans have come out against the contest based on the fact that Israel is participating. Certainly though on the opposite side of it there's gonna be people strategically maxing their votes in favor of Israel. I'd argue though that songs way down the list have better production. So it'll be interesting now to see if Israel moves further up or down the list after the change in songs.

Israel didn't have backup, they just changed the name and the lyrics. Now, according to the rules, it's not political anymore and they can use it. That is if the band doesn't pull any stunts on the middle of the act and won't get disqualifed after all. But i doubt band would do that. There's huge money involved if they would do well.

But i highly doubt they will do well. And i am seriously wondering why they have such high odds, even though they have done well in the past, many people are protesting it, and while you can't downvote them, i am guessing points will show in jury's decision as well with lack of voters from other countries.

If there would be one country that would be a direct protest vote against israel, i would bet on that. If it was possible, i would also bet on the possibility that they are getting booed live, i would actually bet lot's of my money on that. Eurovision brands itself as apolitical, but that doesn't mean people interacting with it will.

[alani123]

I see Greece went up a few spots in the odds and that's quite interesting.

I'm certain by the reactions I'm seeing that Greece will secure a spot in the final. But I'm wondering if the positivity by eurovision fans in social media is something to rely upon for judging song performance in the contest. For sure many of these people that react to these videos are kind of influencers now because they gather a very big audience simply for sharing their opinion. So in terms of showcasing a song to the public it plays an important role. I'm not sure if those placing bets have been taking this into account. Because for instance even though Croatia's song is first in the odds and it's also a good song imo, it hasn't been receiving the same attention on social media that young people like posting like TikTok.

The Eurovision contest is heating up as we get closer to the big event.  Croatia has been the frontrunner for a few weeks now. 

Ukraine is putting up a good fight for the top though.  They are currently sitting in second place, but the gap between them and Croatia seems to be growing bit by bit.  The bookies handicapping the contest think Croatia has it just about locked up at this point - they are offering really favorable odds, like 3-4 to 1 for them to win it all and  ukraine's odds of pulling off their fourth Eurovision victory are getting longer, now between 5-7 to 1. 

It will be fun to see how it all shakes out! Croatia's entry is catchy but Ukraine has some powerful vocals on their side.  Either one could end up the victor when the final votes are counted.

Odds for Croatia are very small indeed, so I wonder if bookmakers are not offering smaller odds than what it should be for this outcome actually. The song is good but it reminds "Cha cha cha" from Finland last year a little bit too much IMO. Anyway there are not so many banger songs this year, so he can benefit from that. To be honest I am only listening, from time to time though, 3 songs on Spotify personally : Poland, Denmark and Iceland.

[alani123]

I think what many people don't realize with Eurovision is how unpredictable it can be. On the one hand croatia has an addictive song which seems to be a reliable motif based on which a song can do really well in the contest, but that's not nearly close to the top of what's most important.

I think many things will be judged last minute, for instance as there's heightened political tension around certain issues at the moment, many people will be looking for a sign to express their opinion through their vote. I bet that if any country's delegation flashes the Palestinian flag even for a moment, lots of people would be motivated to vote regardless of song. And that's a factor many people don't seem to be taking into account. So for me Croatia dominating the odds with no second best close to it only makes it more attractive to bet on countries with smaller win chances at the moment.

I would say, betting on this kind of contest is very risky especially if you are not very familiar with the talents of each contestant. Better watch the show and not bet on this type of event. Also, there may be local/fiat betting sites that may offer odds but for crypto betting sites, I don't think so.

I found the current odds from several betting sites, and they are giving the percent chance of who will be the winner. But my take on this - sometimes it depends on the taste of the judges and the audience. How this contest will pan out during the finals.

I wouldn't say that Eurovision is highly unpredictable. As far as I remember in several recent years main favorite always won. In 3 recent years Italy, Ukraine or Sweden were highly favoured and won. Now situation is a bit different because Croatia isn't so highly favoured against other countries, we have several strong contenders.
It's also worth betting on which countries will reach final. But when it comes h2h betting, it's getting more difficult.

[alani123]

Dunno maybe I'm romanticizing things but I remember that in past competitions there used to be more than one favorites, plenty of songs that were objectively good and fit several styles. And quite often an outlier would win too. The quality of the competition has degraded a bit lately. Not only is it less entertaining to watch but also songs are soooo forgettable. Most Eurovision songs that are remembered as "good" are from many years ago. And it's a challenge to remember the lyrics or the beat of many entries, as it was the norm though.

This year's favorite being croatia surely is a different style than the rest, and this electro-rock style is favored lately but certainly it wasn't very noteworthy. So yes I think this year is going to be one of these years where the favorite for betting doesn't come first.

[decodx]

I did not expect Angelina Mango to surge into second place.  I enjoy her song La noia but Im not sure it has Eurovision winner written on it.

Croatia and Baby Lasagna still holding the top spot, fascinating! Is it just a catchy beat or the novelty aspect hooking people? Either way, it's definitely stirring up the competition.

Seeing Ukraine knocked out bummed me out - Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil were my dark horse picks.

Anyone else surprised by the current standings? What do you think are Angelina's odds to win it all?

You should be careful because sometimes some songs perform really poorly during the contest but after it, they encounter a nice success. In 2022 it has been the case with Rosa Linn from Armenia and her song SNAP. The song had a great success through Europe and around the world but she only ranked at the 20th position during the competition.
