As Brexit takes on another twist, it seems more like a multi-season series rather than just a political saga. Each side is pulling strings their way, Westminster drama keeps gaining momentum, and the EU seems not to be happy with what’s going on.
Political bettors are probably losing their minds right now as well because the whole market undergoes changes on a daily basis. Well, who wouldn’t, considering the fact that the odds have been on a roller-coaster for quite some time.
In the light of most recent events, all the spotlight belongs to the Brexit godfather, Mr. Johnson, himself. His promise to deliver Brexit in time seems to be realistic, despite not being favoured by the MPs majority as well as population.
Bookmaker Unibet has slashed its No Deal Brexit odds to
4.25 (13/4) following Boris Johnson and Angela Merkel’s “unfriendly” phone call. While No Deal seems to be very real at the moment, the odds for a more favourable Brexit have jumped to
1.18. (9/50).
The next important step in this story is scheduled to take place on October 17-18, when Johnson will visit the EU Summit, where he is required to request a Brexit extension if no agreement could be reached.
Would the Tory leader be able to push his agenda through or should we expect another story twist? Stay tuned.
