Head to heads
Melenchon beats Le Pen 57-43 and narrowly loses to Macron 53-47
53-47 head to head can easily be turned around in the TV debate ahead of the final vote, given Melenchon's performance in TV debates so far.
Not sure how Fillon is still at 6.0, though I'm red enough on him at the moment.
Fast approaching squeaky bum time.

If the candidate is charismatic and has something genuinely new and interesting to say, while still being more than just talk, I could see the appeal, but how often does that happen?
GO MELENCHON! I am beginning to think that the pollsters are right and that he could wipe the floor with Le Pen in round 2. Macron I think is flimflam, of appeal only to a small part of society, unlikely to get through to round 2, and with little chance of worrying Mélenchon even if he does. As for Fillon, he is even less likely to get through: he's holding his polling percentage using some kind of strange force which will soon disseminate. Mélenchon's opponent in round 2 if he gets through will be more likely to be either Le Pen or Macron - representatives of the "extremes" against which he is positioning himself. And their ceilings could be lower than anticipated. This guy is clearly capable of winning, and is a snip at Betfair at 15.
BF are also offering a Le Pen/Mélenchon runoff at 12.5.

He was certainly one of the top players never to have won a big one, but as you suggest at that level it's much more the mental strength required to close out a win under the pressure of a big event.
The same is true of many sports of course, they all have their great players who have inexplicably gone their whole career without winning the biggest title in their sport.0 -
If I read one more article that starts along these lines, I'm going to scream:
"Last year’s EU referendum result was a big surprise..."
(http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-will-never-happen-article-50-theresa-may-remoaners-expert-leave-eu-a7674596.html)
IMHO, it was NOT a surprise to anyone who had knock on doors for politics in previous few years or who actually spoken to people who didn't live in London. Plenty of us on PB knew it was lost and bet accordingly.
