The updated odds for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 bet this year show that the legendary singing competition will be dueling two particular countries for victory.
Eurovision 2025 is his time in Basel, Switzerland, following the historic victory from the 2024 non-binary star Nemo and their song “The Code.”
As usual, 2025 Contest It features many LGBTQ+ performers, including Cechia’s representative Adonx, Belgian’s Red Sebastian, Croatia’s Marco Boschunjack, and Finland’s representative Erika Vikmann. Will one of them line up for victory?
As is currently customary in Eurovision, this year’s contest is not without controversy.
Maltese queer-esque entrant Miliana Conte made the headline after the European broadcasting union told her she couldn’t use her song “Kant.” That’s despite the fact that Maltese “Kant” simply means “singing.”
However, Conte has returned with a recreational version of the track simply called “serving.” It assumes that the Eurovision audience fills the rest. Will she be a candidate for the top spot?
Estonian participant Tommy Cash has also proven controversial, with Italians claiming that his song, “Espresso Macchiato,” contains racist Italian ratios and stereotypes.
According to the bet, the winner of this year’s Eurovision could also become a history maker. According to the betting odds, this is the top entrant with the most likely chance of winning Eurovision 2025 (spoiler: not great news for the UK, I remember Monday…)
6. Israel: “The new day rises” and Yurbal Raphael

Israel is taking part in a Eurovision song contest with 24-year-old singer Yuval Raphael and her typical Eurovision Tringual Ballad “New Day Will Rise.” At the time of writing, the odds maker believes she can potentially win everything. 3% chance. It would be the country’s fourth Eurovision victory.
5. Finland: “Ichicom” and Erika Vikmann

After a “Ichicom” barn storming performance in the second semi-final of Eurovision, fan favorite camp queen Erika Vikmann surged his favorite list. 4% chance Win the entire competition.
The title of Squelchy Eurodance Banger, “Ich Komme,” is in German, but the rest of the songs are in Finnish. However, when translated completely into English, the meaning behind it is a bit unsafe, with the title translated to “I’m Coming.” Let Erika decide what he’s referring to.
4. Netherlands: “C’est la Vie“

A longing, Claude’s “C’est la vie,” a piano-driven ballad, appears and gushes out on a tamping dance pop track that sounds like a classic Eurovision classic. The title translates directly to “That Is Life,” and explains that the Congolese-born Dutch singer wants to encourage people to “focus on the brighter side” of the world.
“C’est La Vie” is now third in the chance to win Eurovision, according to the betting odds. There’s a 5% chance. If Claude wins, the Netherlands will have a total of 6 wins and 6 wins. They were previously in fifth place, but Israel was in fourth place. They have been swapping places ever since.
Wherever it is placed, it will be better for the Netherlands than last year. In 2024, the country’s signature Joost Klein was disqualified for allegedly “behind the scenes incident” (it was later revealed that the singer had no intention of causing “serious horror” during the incident).
3. France: Runes “Maman”

French act runes are currently available 10% chance to win According to Bet Odds; what she accomplished in one way or another before her song “Maman” was released (which ultimately premiered in the Six Nations Championship match in mid-March). “Maman” is a typical Eurovision ballad, starting with featherlight vocals on soft piano strokes and before being incorporated into an out-and-out empowerment anthem about family relationships.
Rune is already a rather big French star. She was a semi-finalist in the 2013 French version voicehas since sold 3 million albums and is also an established actress. That may have something to do with her very hopes that she will do well.
If France wins Eurovision 2025, like the Netherlands, then it will be their sixth time. Not bad at all.
2. Austria: JJ of “vain love”

Austria wants to secure a third victory with 23-year-old Austrian-Philippine countertenor JJ and his rising popella song “No Love.” They have quite a chance. The better odds show the song that begins with a tune that starts with a clever piano stroke, filmed towards the sky with an opera chorus and before having a climax with an explosive EDM. 21% chance Winning as of May 6, 2025.
If JJ brings back the coveted Mike Trophy, it was the first time Austria has won since drug icon Conchita Wurst won in 2014, and coincidentally he won alongside her own dive ballad, “Rise Like a Phoenix.”
1. Sweden: “Barabadabasu” Casino

According to Bet Odds, Sweden has won its historic eighth victory at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest. Formed in 2009, Kaj, a comedy group consisting of Kevin Holmstrom, Axel Åhman and Jakobnorgaard, joins with Singy and Accordion-led Epadunk Banger “Barabada Bastu”.
Kaj is currently moving forward with the Eurovision 2025 Betting Opds. 42% chance Winning. If Sweden wins, the country will break ties with Ireland and become the nation with the most Eurovision victory ever. Sweden last won in 2023, returning pop icon Lauren and her song “Tattoo.”
So there’s no chance that a queer artist will win Eurovision 2025, but that’s not entirely impossible. Finland’s Erika Vikmann and Belgian’s red Sebastian could now win sixth and eighth. Czech Adonks is most likely to win 14th, while Croatian Marco Boschunja is currently at the lowest possible betting chances.
It’s unlucky for those who want to see the UK do well at Eurovision 2025
Sadly, this year’s participants from the UK – the country pop trio remembers Monday and their BOP “What happened?” – There is only a 1% chance of winning. They are number 14 in odds. Similarly, there is bad luck with the gays favorite, Mariana Conte in Maltese. If the odds of the bet are correct, at least both actions end in the top half of the leaderboard.
The Eurovision semi-finals will be held on Tuesday, May 13th and Thursday, May 15th, with the final broadcast airing on Saturday, May 17th.
