The Eurovision Song Contest is well under way as the final takes place in Turin tonight, after Italy won last year with Zitti E Buoni performed by rock band Måneskin, scoring an impressive 524 points.
Essex-born singer Sam Ryder has been named BetVictor’s second favourite to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 – up from previous odds. The singer and TikTok star is representing the UK with his song ‘Space Man’, written during lockdown.
BetVictor have had their say on who will win Eurovision 2022 – you can see a full list of the latest odds below.
Eurovision Song Contest Winners Odds
- Ukraine 1/3
- United Kingdom 11/2
- Sweden 13/2
- Italy 9/1
- Spain 16/1
- Greece 40/1
- Poland 40/1
- Norway 50/1
- Netherlands 50/1
- Serbia 66/1
Eurovision is always a popular event for a flutter and BetVictor‘s spokesperson Sam Boswell explains where the money has been going.
“This year’s Eurovision will see the shortest-priced favourite ever since we started betting on the song contest. Ukraine understandably are expected to have a groundswell of popular support across Europe.”
“The Eurovision 2022 semi-finals ended with an unexpected turn as fan-favourites Albania, Latvia and Austria were among the countries who failed to make it to the Grand Final, also Ireland failed to qualify for the final, in another disappointing year for a country with a rich history at the song contest.”
“Ukraine has always had strong entries in the competition with two wins since in 2004 and 2016, as well as runner up entries in 2007 and 2008. They currently remain the frontrunners of the competition, as they are 1/3 to win with their Kalush Orchestra entry, I suspect we may see a highest-ever winning total for them come Saturday night.”
“It may surprise a few people to hear how close to the front of the market the United Kingdom are after several poor results in recent years. We haven’t had odds to win this close since the heyday of Cool Britannia in the 90’s! Sam Ryder has certainly been well received by the Eurovision community and is now as short as 11/2 to win having seen some each-way interest.”
“It looks certain that the UK this year will be avoiding the dreaded nil points for the second year in a row, Ryder has raised the bar and hopefully this year could be a turning point for the UK.”
