Liberal Party Shortest-Odds Possible For State Election Victories - Punters Bet 250000 in 24 Hours

Australian punters have plunged on the Liberal Party having a successful day at the polls tomorrow, backing them into odds of $1.01 at Sportingbet.com.au to win both the South Australian and Tasmanian state elections. Those odds are the shortest odds the online bookmaker offers.

“If a horse went around at those odds you’d have to question whether its rivals had four legs,” Sportingbet’s Andrew Brown said.

“Punters are treating it as better than bank interest. In a twenty-four hour period we’ve taken nearly a quarter of a million for the Liberals including one bet of $100,000 at $1.04 for them to win in South Australia and another $40,000 at $1.03 for the party to claim victory in Tasmania.”

In South Australia, the Liberal Party has firmed from $1.28 into $1.01 at Sportingbet since the start of the year, while Labor’s odds have ballooned from $3.50 out to a current quote of $15.

It Tasmania, the Liberal Party has shortened from $1.14 into $1.01 at Sportingbet since the start of the year, with Labor drifting from $7.50 to $13.
