[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 Willemstad, Curacao, May 9th, 2025]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cloudbet crypto bettors back \u201cBara Bada Bastu\u201d to steam ahead, while Israel remains a top contender despite controversy<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Eurovision 2025 semi-finals set for May 13 and 15 in Switzerland, leading crypto sportsbook Cloudbet reports Sweden\u2019s KAJ<\/a> has emerged as the market leader. The meme-driven entry \u201cBara Bada Bastu\u201d is currently trading at odds of 2.12 in Cloudbet\u2019s outright winner market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Austria\u2019s JJ with \u201cWasted Love\u201d and France\u2019s Louane with \u201cMaman\u201d follow closely, while Israel\u2019s Yuval Raphael with \u201cNew Day Will Rise\u201d remains a strong contender, trading at 13.7 odds (as of May 8, 2025).<\/p>\n

Despite political controversies surrounding Israel\u2019s participation due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, the country\u2019s entry has garnered significant support. Yuval Raphael, a survivor of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, brings a poignant narrative to the contest. Calls for Israel\u2019s exclusion have been made by various artists and broadcasters, but the European Broadcasting Union has maintained its stance on inclusivity.<\/p>\n
