Finding a sure winning bet is a precarious past time and it is sensibly lauded that there is no dead cert in the betting world. If there were one event to suggest this might not be entirely true it could be the UK Not winning the Eurovision Song Contest.
Barely able to score a point in recent years, the UK has not won for over twenty years, and not even got close to adding the record-breaking 14 runner-up spots we have managed throughout the history of the contest.
Betting sites have already put the writing on the wall for our chances in 2022 by offering less than a 2% chance that we could win at odds of 50/1.
To rub salt further into our Eurovision chances wounds, they are also offering odds of 7/1 that the UK will walk away with zero points this year in Milan, just as James Newman did in 2021 in Rotterdam.
