Birmingham now 6/5 favourites to host next year's Eurovision Song Contest
The 2023 Eurovision Song Contest has been confirmed to be held in the UK and Birmingham are the new favourites with bookies to host the event.
The 'second city' was 13/2 to host the event just last week, but a surge in betting and Birmingham's successful hosting of the Commonwealth Games has seen a change in the market.
Betfair now make Birmingham the outright favourites to host next year's Song Contest, with Glasgow 2/1 behind them in the market.
| Eurovision Host City | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Birmingham | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Glasgow | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Liverpool | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Manchester | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| London | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Glasgow were favourites at 4/5 just last week
Glasgow have moved out to second favourites in the betting market after being long time favourites to host Eurovision.
Bookmakers had given Glasgow an odds on chance of hosting Eurovision ever since the rumours started around the UK being hosts.
It's looking less likely that it will be the Scottish city who host Eurovision though according to the market move.
Manchester have also drifted in the betting out to 5/1 from the 3/1 they were last week.
Odds also available for host of Eurovision with Graham Norton 1/4 favourite for that role
Graham Norton remains the favourite to be the host of next year's Eurovision Song Contest.
Norton has been the BBC's commentator for the event for the last 13 years after taking over from Sir Terry Wogan in 2009.
Rylan Clark-Neal is second favourite in the market at 1/2 and has regularly been involved in the BBC's coverage of Eurovision.
| Eurovision Grand Final Host or Co Host | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Graham Norton | 1/4 | 80.0% |
| Rylan Clark-Neal | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Ant and Dec | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Scott Mills | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Emma Willis | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Scott Mills also features in the betting market at 5/1 and he's been a predominant figure in the BBC's coverage of Eurovision in the last decade.
