Bookies expect Social Democrats to win elections

Czech bookmakers are backing the Social Democrats to come first in next month’s elections, with the companies Sazka, Fortuna and Maxi-Tip all currently offering the lowest odds on such an outcome, which would be in line with opinion polls. The bookies’ rates also indicate that they expect either right wingers TOP 09 or the Communists to come second and that both the ANO 2011 party headed by business tycoon Andrej Babiš and the Zemanites will reach the five-percent threshold.
