Hello Yourope,

this is Vulcan calling! It was very hard to make a logical guess on who will place where in the Grand Final, but finally I've come to a conclusion. First let me say that there were wonderful shows and stunning events that I've much enjoyed, in an unemotional way of course. It is great to be a part of an amazing community and I feel very honored to serve in the Stonewall Fleet. Thank you all, and that said, here are my votes:

1. Italy ~ Mahmood "Soldi"
2. Australia ~ Kate Miller-Heidke "Zero Gravity"
3. Norway ~ KEiiNO "Spirit in the Sky"
4. Malta ~ Michela "Chameleon"
5. San Marino ~ Serhat "Say Na Na Na"
6. Russia ~ Sergey Lazarev "Scream"
7. Netherlands ~ Duncan Laurence "Arcade"
8. Sweden ~ John Lundvik "Too Late for Love"
9. North Macedonia ~ Tamara Todevska "Proud"
10. Czech Republic ~ Lake Malawi "Friend of a Friend"
11. Belarus ~ ZENA "Like It"
12. Cyprus ~ Tamta "Replay"
13. Azerbaijan ~ Chingiz "Truth"
14. Greece ~ Katerine Duska "Better Love"
15. Estonia ~ Victor Crone "Storm"
16. Serbia ~ Nevena Božović "Kruna" (Круна)
17. Denmark ~ Leonora "Love Is Forever"
18. Israel ~ Kobi Marimi "Home"
19. France ~ Bilal Hassani "Roi"
20. United Kingdom ~ Michael Rice "Bigger than us"
21. Iceland ~ Hatari "Hatrið mun sigra"
22. Switzerland ~ Luca Hänni "She Got Me"
23. Spain ~ Miki "La Venda"
24. Albania ~ Jonida Maliqi "Ktheju tokës"
25. Slovenia ~ Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl "Sebi"
26. Germany ~ S!sters "Sister"

I place my bets on the red marked ones, including one loser bet. I've posted the rest in the interest of completeness. Live long and prosper.

You can now place your bets on the results of the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019.
Here is how it works:

Every correct bet in the Grand Final wins! You are allowed to place 10 different bets on the results.

Three types of bets are possible:
a) Winner Bet
Predict a nation to win. You can have various winner bets with different countries. You can not bet on the same country more than one time.
b) Loser Bet
Predict a nation to receive null points (or the least amount overall) in the end result. Like with the winners, you can have several loser-bets with different nations, but only one bet per country.
c) Position Bet
Predict which nation will take a certain position, for example the second place or the fifth. Position Bets are limited to only one Postion Bet per position and per country.
You can neither put the same country in a lot of places nor can you bet on different nations in the same position. Make your mind up and bet on a set of different places and different nations!

The running order of the Grand Final has been revealed. Here it is:

1. Malta ~ Michela "Chameleon"
2. Albania ~ Jonida Maliqi "Ktheju tokës"
3. Czech Republic ~ Lake Malawi "Friend of a Friend"
4. Germany ~ S!sters "Sister"
5. Russia ~ Sergey Lazarev "Scream"
6. Denmark ~ Leonora "Love Is Forever"
7. San Marino ~ Serhat "Say Na Na Na"
8. North Macedonia ~ Tamara Todevska "Proud"
9. Sweden ~ John Lundvik "Too Late for Love"
10. Slovenia ~ Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl "Sebi"
11. Cyprus ~ Tamta "Replay"
12. Netherlands ~ Duncan Laurence "Arcade"
13. Greece ~ Katerine Duska "Better Love"
14. Israel ~ Kobi Marimi "Home"
15. Norway ~ KEiiNO "Spirit in the Sky"
16. United Kingdom ~ Michael Rice "Bigger than us"
17. Iceland ~ Hatari "Hatrið mun sigra"
18. Estonia ~ Victor Crone "Storm"
19. Belarus ~ ZENA "Like It"
20. Azerbaijan ~ Chingiz "Truth"
21. France ~ Bilal Hassani "Roi"
22. Italy ~ Mahmood "Soldi"
23. Serbia ~ Nevena Božović "Kruna" (Круна)
24. Switzerland ~ Luca Hänni "She Got Me"
25. Australia ~ Kate Miller-Heidke "Zero Gravity"
26. Spain ~ Miki "La Venda"
