What is the Eurovision Song Contest? 

The Eurovision Song Contest stands as Europe's grandest annual music competition, where countries showcase their best musical talent.  

This international songwriting contest brings together artists from across European nations in a spectacular display of cultural celebration. Each May, millions of viewers tune in to watch the live broadcast featuring pop music performances that range from ballads to dance tracks.  

In 2025, Basel, Switzerland will host the 69th Eurovision after Nemo won the 2024 contest with "The Code." This marks Switzerland's return as host nation, adding another chapter to Eurovision's rich history.  

What are the Eurovision Betting Markets?

There are two main Eurovision betting markets for punters to choose from, both of which are available right here at BetVictor!   

Country To Win 

As the name suggests, this Eurovision betting market involves picking the country that will win the entire tournament. Potential winnings will only be awarded if the chosen country finishes in first place and lifts the trophy, with all other positions being irrelevant.  

Each Way

The each way betting option is an extension of the aforementioned "Country To Win" bet. If punters wish, they can utilise an Each Way bet by doubling their stake size to cover additional positions in the 2025 Eurovision.   

Here at BetVictor, we offer 1/5th (A fifth) of the original odds for countries that finish either in first, second, third, or fourth through our each way Eurovision betting option. Keep in mind, however, that this bet is only possible while also betting on a country to win the event.  

Which Country is the Favourite to Win the Eurovision Song Contest? 

When looking at the current Eurovision Song Contest betting odds for 2025, Sweden is the current favourite. The country will be represented by KAJ in this year's iteration of the event, a group that will be performing "Bara bada batsu", which directly translates to "Just Sauna" in English.   

One of the biggest reasons for this group being the favourite to win the 2025 Eurovision is that they've already proven their popularity by winning Melodifestivalen this year with the same song.  

Next up is Austria, who will be represented by JJ with "Wasted Love", and France, who have sent Louane with "Maman" to the stage. Below you can see the rest of the favourite countries to win the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, in order of the current betting odds:  

  • Sweden   
  • Austria   
  • France    
  • Israel   
  • Netherlands   
  • Finland   
  • Estonia   
  • Albania   
  • Belgium   
  • Ukraine  

How is the Eurovision Song Contest Determined? 

The Eurovision Song Contest uses a complex voting system to select its winner. Each country awards points based on both jury votes and public televoting, creating the final rankings that determine which nation takes home the trophy.  

National juries from each country award points to their favourite performances, with 12 points going to their top choice. Public televoting runs alongside jury voting, allowing fans to support their favourite acts through phone calls or text messages.  

In addition to this, Eurovision betting odds often predict potential winners, with Sweden's KAJ and "Bara Bada Bastu" currently leading the pack. Keep in mind that these odds can shift greatly throughout the contest, based on each performance and the changing public opinion.

Eurovision Betting Markets

Here are some of the most popular Eurovision betting markets available to explore at BetVictor. 

Outright Winner Betting 

When it's a competition such as the Eurovision Song Contest, most people will be discussing which country or act they think is going to win. And in turn, this makes the outright winner betting market incredibly popular. Betting in this market means placing a wager on who will win the final. Each way bets are usually available in the same market and pay four places. But they're divided by 1/5 of the odds. Iceland are the current favourites to win. 

Top Ten Place Betting 

It could prove challenging to pick out the overall winner in the Eurovision final when there are so many nations and contestants involved. So, selecting a country or multiple to place in the top ten is a popular betting market as a result. There will be twenty-six finalists on the night overall. Odds will, of course, be shorter than what's available in the winner-betting odds. 

Big Five Country Winner Betting 

The Big Five in Eurovision terms are the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy and Germany. The European Broadcasting Union organises and hosts the Eurovision, and the Big Five contribute the most to the EBU. Betting in this market ultimately means to place a wager on out of the Big Five, who will do the best points-wise. According to the current set of odds, the United Kingdom and Italy are the most likely to top the Big Five league. 

Eurovision Recent Winners 

The most recent winner of the Eurovision Song Contest was Nemo in 2024, representing Switzerland with "The Code". Sweden won it in the previous year, through artist Loreen performing "Tattoo", which stole the stage and captivated fans throughout Europe and beyond.  

Here's a look at the recent winners from the past 10 years, giving you an idea of what sort of performers typically stand out from the crowd:

The Eurovision Song Contest holds the record for being the most prestigious and oldest song competition. The competition kicked off in May 1956. Both Ireland and Sweden are the contest's most successful champions, each boasting seven victories. The only year there was no competition was in 2020 due to the pandemic.
