Showman and presidential candidate Volodymyr Zelenskiy remains the odds-on favorite to win the second round of presidential elections on April 21, although incumbent President Poroshenko has narrowed them somewhat.

ElectraWorks Limited (Gibraltar), operating under the bwin sports betting brand and owned by GVC Holdings PLC, is taking bets on Zelenskiy’s victory at 1.3 to 1 odds, Poroshenko 3.3 to 1, compared to a week ago when odds were 1.22 to 1 and 4 to 1, respectively.

The bookmaker Pari-Match has 2.9 to 1 odds (from 3.1 to 1) on a Poroshenko victory, while Zelenskiy’s odds have dropped from 1.45 to 1 from 1.35 to 1.

A third bookmaker, 1Xbet, has raised the odds for a Poroshenko victory from 2.56 to 1 from 3.096 to 1 a week ago, although Zelenskiy’s odds have improved, from 1.21 to 1 from 1.336 to 1.
