    anyone betting on French presidential election? looks unpredictable

    Polls are so f-cked up these days that it could be worth placing a bet at high odds

    For those who have access to Betfair, article about the odds : http://easysportbet.co.uk/betting-on...tial-election/

    I believe polls are fake one more time so I ll go with a bet on Fillon at 4.5, good odds ( I dont believe French will elect Le Pen, she is the female Trump but the voting process is different to US and Trump would have lost with the french voting system, since less than 50% people voted for him.)

    Seems like a tough one to call. I'm going to sit it out. Good luck on your bet. If I had bet, I'd take Marine Le Pen to win the the first round at 1.9.

    I actually think that is a great bet.
    Many analysts believe Macron is overrated and pushed by fake polls, so this price looks nice to me

    It just seems to me she appeals to enough people who are angry to get the highest percentage in the first round but no way 50%. So then she'll wind up advancing to the heads up on May 7 and lose to someone more centrist.

    Le Pen NOT President is a lock to me, and it is possible to get around 1.22 right now by placing a Lay bet at Betfair.
    For me this is value, I know everyone will say Clinton was a lock, but the vote in France works differently. This is a great 22% interest rate paid after 2 weeks.

    She also promised to have a referendum within 6 month where the French want to leave the EU!

    She needs to win.

    I can guarantee she won't win, all polls say 40% at best on 2nd round, polls are f-cked up we can all agree on that, but 60% vs 40% is a huge margin at this stage. Polls being wrong by such a margin, it would be hilarious to say the least.

    New odds : Macron 1.14 vs. 7.8.... well that is too much juice now.

    Results:
    Emmanuel Macron 24.1%Marine Le Pen 21.8%Jean-Luc Mélenchon 19.5%François Fillon 20.0%Benoît Hamon 6.1%Nicolas Dupont-Aignan 4.7%Philippe Poutou 1.1%Jean Lassalle 1.0%François Asselineau 1%Nathalie Artaud 0.7%Jacques Cheminade 0.2%



    So basically, you take 24% (Macron) + most of Melanchon votes (let's say 14% to be kind with Le Pen), + 6% (Hamon), + half of Fillon (10%) = 54%
    Macron can't lose.

    You were probably right, best bet earlier was Le Pen not to be next president at the odds earlier today before the results were in.

    France hasn't been great since Napoleon.

    Btw one Adolf Hitler wrote in mein Kampf that France would one day be a Muslim majority nation​.

    The betting odds were also tilted, but those were not the betting odds.

    This situation does seem very different, but until it happens there is no convincing. We'll see.

    again, Trump was not winning in France as the vote counting system is different, IIRC it was Clinton 51%/Trump 49%.

    Anyone wagering on politics is a fool. My guess is that fewer than 1% of the people in here know what is really happening in the world.
