BETTING markets are pricing in a 10-15 per cent chance that Marine Le Pen will pull off a shock election win, as France takes to the polls to vote in its next president.

Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron is seen as the favourite to secure victory in the French Election, yet more more people have put stakes backing his opponent, found Oddschecker, which measures a number of betting odds to create an average.

Overall, there are a higher number of bets on Ms Le Pen coming out on top, than Brexit or Donald Trump - even though the odds are much lower, according to the betting experts.

Around 56 per cent of stakes placed have been for the anti-euro candidate to win.

Bookmaker Coral have Ms Le Pen at 8-1 to defeat Macron tonight and evens to get 35-40 per cent of the vote share.

Macron went ballistic when Marine said at the debate "a woman will lead France---me or Mrs Merkel."

Macron looks like he just kissed Merkel's....ah...feet.

The betting markets screwed up on Brexit and Trump; maybe this is nothing more than wishing for a redo.

I think the powers that be are stacking the votes for Macron. But le Pen may still win. I’m pretty sure she’d win in a minute if the vote counters weren’t cheating.

Hillary stole 20 or 30 million votes, but she still lost. Let’s hope that Macron, the so-called “centrist” candidate—meaning that he’s a crooked liberal—also loses.

Good news, I’ve sunk money into international stocks hoping for a repeat of last Monday’s rise in the market.

Would love to see Le Pen win, but I might come out of top if she doesn’t due to the globalist central banks wanting that pig Macron and retaining the status quo.

Even little children know that the polls and media are rigged.

France better be prepared for left wing brown shirts to riot nation wide if Le Pen wins. They will make the weekend muslim car burners look like kindergarteners

They’re giving 8-1 odds to attract betting on Le Pen. It’s working.

At 8-1 it isn’t a bad thing to take a flyer on a Brexit repeat. 3-1, I wouldn’t touch it.

I have read that 60% of the vote is in and it is for Macron.

I do hope that is wrong. I would love to see Le Pen win but seeing also that France does not get the news regarding that liberal creep Macron well, it seems there is not much hope.

France is blind these days and Macron will doom her to Islam.
