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.

The Euros are starting to sound like our MSM reaction either to one of Ann Coulter’s books last decade: “a surprise best seller” or candidate Trump’s romp last November 8th: “shocking”.
What’s so surprising or shocking? The Frogs are as sick as we are of open borders and unlimited, dangerous, ungrateful alien freeloaders swamping their country.
Go blondie.

Trump was only 25% chance on 538.

God can do the impossible.

I would bet that lots of people aren’t going to say they voted for her, but will. Just like Trump. The secret vote.

“It is now 65% + for the punk - Le Pen got crushed.”

In exit poll estimates. How much was Hillary winning by?

Le Pen may lose, but not by that margin.

I’m thinking the final result will be around 54-57% for Macron. Still a loss, but proof the message will continue to hound them for the next election cycles.
