Entertainment: Good judges make big winners on entertainment markets

Most of the Betsson Sportsbook is just that: sports. But given there’s an army of Betsson customers who like to take on our odds on the likes of Eurovision, The Oscars, The Golden Globes and selected reality TV shows, we obviously choose to provide a first-class experience on entertainment betting markets, too.
Probably the most popular of all is Eurovision. The great thing about Eurovision is that even the smallest countries or those not used to conquering the big prizes in other events have every chance of being crowned winners because unlike in team sports, you only need one exceptional contestant to bring home the glory. That explains how the likes of Israel (1998), Latvia (2002), Azerbaijan (2011), Denmark (2013) have all come top of the pile over the past two decades.
So, if you have the music-judging abilities of someone like X-Factor creator and Judge Simon Cowell and are aware of which countries will vote for who then choose your favourite Eurovision betting market and put your money down. Betsson offers odds on the overall winner, Top 3 and other selected specials like who will finish higher between two countries.
Of course, if movies rather than music is more your thing, then put late February down in your diary because that’s Oscars time. Whether you like to watch all the movies before judging or think you can work out who will win what based on news articles, you’ll find a great selection of Oscars markets. These include odds on Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director.
We also offer Entertainment betting markets on selected reality TV shows like Dancing with the Stars and X-Factor although only on the editions of a few countries. Those also provide a good chance for you to show your judging expertise on who will taste glory.
