I've spent over 20 years inside the betting industry. I'll guide you to avoid the hype, ignore the noise, and steer clear of the common pitfalls that catch out everyday punters.
- Bookmakers rate the UK a 7/1 Chance to come away pointless in 2022 Eurovision
- UK ranked 50/1 Eurovision outsiders to win in Italy in 2022
- UK has not hosted the event since 1998 despite having hosted it more times than any other country (8 times)
- The UK have the most consecutive final appearances, 2022, will be the 60th time on the trot the UK has been in the finals.
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.

UK To Win Eurovision a massive 50/1
The UK are the country to have reached the most consecutive finals shows in the history of the contest and next year will mark the 60th year of doing so.
The UK haven't won the Eurovision since 1997 and it could last even longer as judged by previous years.
