Then you can simply select a country to finish in the top four, or top five or top ten.
There are two separate votes, one by each country’s jury – they are not allowed to vote for themselves – and, after all those scores have been accumulated, the viewers televote will be added for the final score.
You can bet on which countries win each of the jury and televotes.
Other markets available are to select if the winner came from the first or second semi-final or was an automatic qualifier, which country will finish last and from which position in the draw the winner may come from.
