lto Controversy has surrounded this edition of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. The participation of Israelas well as the expulsion of the representative of the Netherlands, put the contest on everyone’s lips during the last hours. However, the contest was held relatively normally, not counting the whistles and boos at the singer from Israel, and this year’s winner is already known.
The previous bets They aimed almost without rival at Croatia as winner of the 2024 edition, followed by Israel and Switzerland. The three countries had a quota of more than 10% in the betting houses in the hours before the festival took place.
Furthermore, as we already know, the popular jury vote It counts a little more than the jury’s vote: specifically 50.6% would correspond to the public and 49.4% to the jury, where all countries give scores ranging from 1 to 8, 10 and 12 points.
Nemo, winner of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest
Against all odds, Swisswhich was far from overtaking Croatia in the bookmakers, has won the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. Although it is true that the votes of the professional jury gave him a great advantage, which was what finally made him achieve victory, the televoting did not disappoint the representative of Swiss and with 227 points he managed to surpass Baby Lasagna, from Croatia, who was the public’s top favorite with 337 votes but not so much from the professional jury.

Spain, at the bottom of the table
Although we did not set out with high hopes, after the performances the betting houses had placed Spain in 10th position. However, the reality was different since the professional jury only awarded us 19 points which were distributed as follows:
- San Marino: 6
- Switzerland: 1
- Austria: 4
- Italy: 7
- Finland: 1
Still hurt because our neighbor Portugal did not give us pointsthe televoting also left us very far from the middle of the table with only 11 points, which added up to a total of 30 points. A score that took us to 22nd position just ahead of Slovenia (27 points), Austria (24 points) and Norway (16 points).
