Betting on eurovision

[Anth0nius]

The Eurovision song contest is a big European tradition where most countries in the continent send a song to compete against each other. 

The winner is determined by a vote of juries as well as an audience vote. It's an interesting event to watch and many people also take interest on the odds of each participant winning, so betting on this event is also something that gets a lot of hype. 

I was hoping to see some betting options for Eurovision on Stake, like picking the winner or which countries will qualify from the semi-finals. 
Sadly I didn't see anything in the site. But hopefully Stake is considering adding it?

It Will come and its the easiest bets ever made. Last year I took sweden at like 11x as soon as I heard the swedish songs that was competing in the country own melodifestival like the qualification round for Eurovision. It was easy to spot Loreen as a winner. When the eurovision started the odds had sinked from 11x to 1.75x

I hope Stake will feature such bets on the platform this year. Event markets like Eurovision are very entertaining to some of us.

I see Croatia first in the odds. Will stake open a market now that other platforms did as well? 😁

Oh I just realized that Stake has Eurovision under the politics category. I could only find it searching on Google... How dumb of me to not think about it lol

Israel came up with a different song for the competition after their last one was deemed controversial. I wonder if that's going to affect their odds.

What do you mean? By judges? Because afaik points are something like 50/50 between judges and the crown and the crowd votes after performances end. Judge vote is announced only after as well.

Yes I think that would be nice too. It's too overwhelming to have to pick a winner from a contest with like 35 likely winners
