Austria now shorten to 7/2 to win the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest
Austria have been the big market movers for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in the past fortnight with UK Betting Sites now shortening them into 7/2 to win the event this year.
The country is set to be represented by singer-songwriter JJ at Eurovision and massive hype is surrounding his chances of being crowned champion.
JJ, real name Johannes Pietsch, will enter the Song Contest with his track Wasted Love which is already proving to be popular across Europe.
Many have already backed Wasted Love to be the big hit with the jury this year and it may even move into favourite if support continues in the coming weeks.
William Hill's latest betting market now gives an implied probability of 22.2% that he wins Eurovision.

Sweden remain favourites to win the famous Song Contest this year
Sweden continue to top the betting market to win Eurovision with KAJ now confirmed to be representing the country at the event.
Mans Zelmerlow was favourite at 1/2 to win Melodifestivalen but KAJ were supported in the betting odds and eventually won with the public, with 4.3m votes a record high at Sweden's competition.
Zelmerlow was not happy with the outcome and spoke out in an Instagram post saying “Dear narrow-minded haters, isn’t it completely natural to feel disappointed with the result?".
