The polls gave Macron the final TV debate by a huge margin

Although it is polling day in parts of the UK the election that’s attracting the most bets (£25m matched so far on Betfair) is the final round for the French Presidency.

Last night we had a marathon but engrossing TV debate between the woman the French courts ruled could be described as a fascist and the 39 year old ex-investment banker who is not linked to any of the main parties.

The polls had Macron winning by 63% to 34% with 12% of Le Pen supporters saying Macron was best compared with just 3% of his backers going for her.

The map above, from BFMTV shows how support for the two contenders differs by region.

There will be no more published polls after tomorrow until the polling stations close at 1900 BST on Sunday.

I know many PBers got on Macron at longer odds than I did but I’m looking forward confidently to picking up some nice winnings after the weekend.
