Olly Alexander will represent the UK at next year's Eurovision Song Contest

Betting remains open on the Eurovision Song Contest next year with UK Betting Sites changing the betting market around once again for the event.

United Kingdom have now moved into 11/2 favourites to win Eurovision after singer Olly Alexander was announced as their representative at the contest.

Alexander was the frontman of band Years and Years with the band turning into a solo project for the singer since 2021 and his popularity could see him do well at Eurovision.

It's all about the song though and we won't hear that until next year, but BetVictor have straight away moved him into favourite for Eurovision in 2024.

The latest betting odds give an implied probability of 15.4% that the UK wins the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest after finishing 25th out of 26 earlier this year.

Israel and Ukraine now joint second favourites with ongoing conflicts in the countries

Israel had moved into clear favourites earlier this year for Eurovision with political voting potentially coming into the equation due to the ongoing conflict in the country.

2022 saw Ukraine win the Eurovision Song Contest with many saying that was down to the war with Russia with their song not the strongest of the pack.

We could well see similar happen again with Israel this year or even with Ukraine again with both countries joint second favourites in the market at 7/1.
