How are we all going to ‘budget’ our 20 votes for the final?

[Image] 

me using 2 phones to hit them 40 sms for BL

20 Croatia get that bag Marko

30 on Croatia. Fifteen from me and fifteen from a friend that I roped into my scheme

Stupid American here.I am going to vote for the first time and spend all 20 on Croatia. I was too cheap to vote last year and still regret it. Capital One can charge me all the foreign transaction fees they want! No rules!!!!

ETA: fixed typos

No need to plan at all, 20x on Croatia as rotw

10 for Croatia, 10 for Switzerland. I was originally going to spread them out a lot but I don’t think we can afford to anymore

I was going to split it 50/50 Netherlands and Croatia and a couple votes for Finland because I love them. But now I might just give all to Croatia and a couple to Finland. Not sure what's going on with Joost yet.

If how normally I would distribute between Croatia, Ireland, Switzerland, Netherlands and Estonia. Now 20 x Croatia

Rest of the World here, Croatia all in

i was gonna do 10x croatia and 10x netherlands but with how it's looking rn uhhh.... 20x croatia i guess

20 votes for Croatia, at this point I don’t care how it affects my wallet

I wanna do Croatia, Ireland, Italy, and then a little bit for Latvia. As a treat. But I fear for the results if it’s not all 20 for Croatia. I gave 15 to Portugal last year with 5 saved for Finland and ROTW didn’t even give any to Portugal. And then in this second semi it was all for Malta. ROTW is not supporting me.

Half of them - to Croatia. The rest split between Lithuania, Slovenia and Estonia.

Edit: And Ireland.

80 for Croatia. I’ve roped in some friends who are getting a full homemade meal (including lasagna obviously) and rivers of alcohol in exchange for their phones.

I regret nothing, including this month’s bill.

I've been watching Eurovision for six years. I've never voted for anyone.

This time, I think it will be 20 votes to Croatia.

Edit: It's twelve for Croatia and eight for Bambie, because they are a fucking legend.

All in on Croatia. it's the best chance for a non-topical televote winner and it's a song I love. No need to dilute the televote pool.

Rest of world. I was so excited to vote for Switzerland, I really thought Nemo had a great chance of winning, especially with how unbelievably good their semi-final performance was.

I feel like I have to put all 20 to Croatia at this point. There's just no other choice.

All on Croatia here too

20 on Ireland. I don't even care atp

50/50 Croatia and Norway

15x Croatia, 4x Ireland, 1x Armenia. The vote for Armenia is for the chicken in the mv and staging, I have chickens too and it makes me happy lmaooooo

Not sure how many I will send but majority will be for Croatia, then maybe Germany and France because they don't get enough appreciation. I keep listening to Italy and Luxemburg on repeat, love them. Ireland is really interesting, Netherlands is fun, Switzerland is amazing, Ukraine too. ACTUALLY HOW CAN I DECIDE?? So many great songs.

Short of a fix, I don’t think I’m in a country that needs to tactically vote (and if it’s fixed, it won’t matter and fireworks will fly on Sunday).

So most to Estonia, and maybe some to Estonia cause I enjoyed them last night.

Although my favorites are Norway and Slovenia, with the pain of my soul I am going to vote strategically, for Croatia and France (my second favorite after Norway) 😿.

20 x 🇨🇭Switzerland since it's my favourite by far

20 to Croatia, we must try to concentrate the vote or we will go to hell

I'm giving at least half to Croatia, then half to my favorites. Which, at this point, will be Ireland, Switzerland, or Norway.

20x Croatia. Sorry Norway, Ireland, Netherlands, Estonia and Lithuania, but it has to be done

I am in the ROW vote (I live in Slovakia) - I spend close to 60 euros last year on votes, as I voted in both semis and finals. However, I feel like being jumbled into one group with bazillion other countries, does not make any sense for me and I feel it is more of a ploy from EBU to get that money, honey. My 20 votes will not change shit in the end, so I am donating the money to Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors without Borders and their relief work in Palestine.

Get 6 eSIMs

Croatia 60

Ireland 40

Switzerland 20

Netherlands 20

I originally only planned to give all my 20 votes to Croatia but well, after today, we need to brace for the impact 😆

20 to Croatia! You all have an amazing entry.

I wanted to split between Ireland and Croatia, but right now I’m at 20x Croatia.

I'm thinking Croatia x10, Norway x 10

croatia is not even my favourite and will still be getting 20 votes from me

All of em to Joost, hopefully.

Ireland 10, Netherlands 5, Spain 5. Ireland 15 if cannot vote Netherlands

Germany here, all in for BL but I’m afraid most of our points will go to the dated ballad 

I’m not budgeting anything especially after today

Croatia and Switzerland. Both of them deserve to host

I'm from Croatia and I can't vote for Croatia so I'm gonna split it between Serbia and Norway simply because I like the songs

10 Portugal 10 France

or 8 Portugal 7 France 5 Ireland

or 6 Portugal 5 France 5 Ireland 4 Croatia

depending on the performances

I want to divide between Croatia, Slovenia, Portugal, and Armenia…. but because of how the contest looks at this moment and I am ROTW, all 20x (maybe 40x) to Croatia.

You know what, I am not spending any money at all

Not voting in this farce. If Israel has the votes then let them win and let this competition burn.

If I was gonna vote it'd be 1 for Croatia and 1 for France.

We need to vote for anything that might have a chance of winning instead of spreading our votes thinly over favourites.

The future of the contest is at stake here.

The question is will it be better to go for Croatia assuming ok jury support and much higher overall televote support or Switzerland assuming a much higher Jury score and bolstering their televote chances?

Sure... Croatia 🇭🇷 20 Votes

20 x Croatia 🇭🇷

5xPortugal 5x Ukraine 5x Ireland 5x Croatia

I see a lot of comments saying they were going to plot but "can't afford it now" all votes to croatia. This is my first eurovision. What am I missing? I was going to split norway croatia and Ireland. It it better to pick one?

Mine are all going on Estonia idc

i was going to vote for switzerland and ukraine but now i think i will give it all to croatia 🥲

20 on bby lasagna

You guys have money?

20 to Croatia I have no doubts on that given yesterday’s events, on a normal year I would’ve sent them to the Netherlands, Norway, Ireland and Estonia but at this point who even knows if Joost will participate

For 1.20CHF a vote I'm not investing at all probably. Maybe one vote for Croatia, because I can't vote for Nemo.

Wasn’t going to vote for Croatia, or Switzerland… but I’m thinking 10 to either of them, 7 to Luxembourg and 3 to Ukraine

Can’t help Marko so Ukraine, Lithuania and Switzerland will get 5, and I’ll split the remaining between Ireland and the Netherlands (hopefully).

If Joost performs, and depending on what has actually happened, I will be splitting my votes between Netherlands, Croatia and Ireland with a cheeky one or two for Greece as well

So annoying that id need to spent 20 euros to feel like my vote has any impact. Rather not vote at all, but If I did, id go split between Ireland/Armenia/Estonia.

4 x 🇪🇦🇺🇦🇭🇷🇮🇪🇵🇹

20 votes to contribute generously to the 5 million incoming votes from Serbia to Croatia

Going 50/50 on my two favourites, only way to make sure it counts

ROW here. 20 points to Ireland.

Since i'm voting as ROTW this year (thank you TVR) i will be voting only for Croatia.

Jez sem. Ti si. Lasagna.

The og intent was Norway/Ireland/Croatia/Switzerland, but… yeah, meow x 20 now. 🐱

20 for Switzerland, another 20 for Croatia. Nemo because they’re my fav, Marko because the state of the competition this year is absolutely shocking so splitting votes isn’t wise from my point of view (and I obviously love Rim Tim Tagi Dim)

God bless cheap voting in the UK 🤷‍♂️

Edit: didn’t go to plan, ended up being one sim with 8 to Switzerland (yay nemo!!!), 8 to Croatia, and the remaining 1s to Estonia, Armenia, Lithuania, and Sweden (for my little sister) respectively :)

As someone from Croatia: 4x🇮🇪🇷🇸🇸🇮🇵🇹🇳🇱

I was originally going to throw a couple votes for Switzerland and Ukraine, but now I'm feeling I need to include Croatia as well. Just about anything to make sure thw contest is still running next year...

After what happened yesterday evening with the italian televote, croatia all in. No time for buts and ifs.

Everything to Croatia to try to save our beloved contest

20x Portugal! Somehow every year i end up obsessed with Portugal. They have a unique charme.

Probably 4 each to 🇮🇪🇨🇭🇭🇷🇬🇷🇪🇦.

Mostly Croatia and Switzerland, plus I'll throw a couple of single votes for some of my other faves. Definitely Ireland and Lithuania, maybe a couple more, depending on how many votes I got left. Let's see how the Joost situation will turn out. If he gets to perform tomorrow (fingers crossed), I'll obviously vote for him.

I was planning to split my votes between several countries but now I'm going 20x Croatia. It seems to be the only way to prevent an Israel win, unfortunately.

Ukraine - 10, Latvia - 10. I love Ukraine's song so much, but I'm also so pleased to see Latvia squeak through to the finals.

I was going to split Ukraine/Belgium, but now I'm all in for Ukraine, with maybe an honorary vote to Estonia for being amazing.

I didn't like any song apart from France, so I will not have an issue.

Probably a few votes for Ireland and/or Norway and/or Italy, whichever one I like the most on the night. Wouldn't even consider voting 20 times with it costing €1.70 here in Estonia!

Leaning towards all 20 for Netherlands if possible.

Everyone who can, do your part to help Marko. Baby Lasagna is all that stands between us and a very bad ending for the ESC

What are our 20 votes? Is that via the app?

I am in the UK. We cant textvote here. Can we app vote?

Netherlands hopefully. Then Croatia or Ireland

Ordinarily I'd vote for my favourites. But I'm considering putting 100% on Croatia. Sorry Norway Italy  and Serbia. 

I'm in ROTW, so was planning to spread out 20 votes across the many songs I like, based on how I like them tomorrow during the show, in order to help support the show and keep it available outside of Europe. There's no way that my choices will have an impact on the points from ROTW, and those points will have a very small impact on the outcome.

But after today? I'm going to wait and see whether I still feel like sending money to the EBU tomorrow.

Most to the Netherlands, some to Croatia, and 2 to whoever my daughter picks.

I could maybe use my husband’s credit card for another 20 but we’ll see.

Some mix of Croatia and Serbia. Serbia has been my favourite from the start and I want to honour that. Croatia for obvious reasons, but also because I was convinced by the live performance, it was easily my favourite performance of the second semi. If I feel like investing in more acts, I was also in love with Armenia

🗣️ 2 0 T O C R O A T I A

Not sure.

Option 1 - 10x in Switzerland and 10x in Ukraine.

Option 2 - 10x in Switzerland, 4x in Ukraine, 2x in Portugal and 2 in the Netherlands.

20 to Ireland

As someone voting for the first time in the competition this year, I think my plan is 2 votes for Portugal, and then maybe 1 more if a country really impresses me (might be norway)

Right now I think 19x for Croatia ane 1x for Ukraine. Might go up to 39x for Croatia.

Norway gets 15 from me and France gets 5

I've got 26 SIM cards so I'm gonna give 19 votes to everyone and 45 to Ireland. 

20x Serbia

10 Switzerland, 5 Ukraine, 2 Israel, 2 Ireland, 1 Croatia.

I want to vote strategically but don't know what to do. Even if I throw all my votes at BL (my fav), he won't score higher than Ukraine, not in Poland. If there's mass voting for Israel, he won't beat Israel no matter what I do. But will there be a mass voting for Israel in Poland? Polish people are much more preoccupied with the Russian war. Maybe he does stand a chance to get 10 points? Or should I throw half of my votes to the person with strong jury support, Switzerland?, to increase their standing?

Damn, before the leak, I was gonna vote for Croatia, Ireland, Portugal, Finland, Latvia and Switzerland. Now there's no way I'd split my votes between more than 2 acts. Well maybe 1 vote for Latvia, but the rest is going to be strategic.

Any advice?

My votes will go to France.

I'll likely vote for Luxembourg

I have no money, but if I did:

8x Ukraine, 6x Croatia, 4x Norway, 2x Ireland

10 for Windows95man 5 for Baby Lasagna (cat owners of the world unite!) 5 for Estonia

100% Croatia. Gotta make sure they win..

I am voting probably x15 to Nemo and x5 to Nebulossa.

Realistically if the feared thing is going to happen, it will happen regardless of how ESC fans budget their vote.

I was going to give my votes to Switzerland, they’re outstanding and the song has winner vibes. But now I think about to give Croatia some votes too.

I'll give all my votes to Luxembourg.

Divide them evenly.

whyy Croatia? i really can't understand this obsession with rammstein from wish.com

Italy Israel and Armenia

20 to Israel
