IF YOU fancy a wager on the outcome of the Victorian State Election, there’s ‘interest rate’ value only in the Dan Andrews’ led Labor Party being returned to government.
They’re listed on Sportsbet at odds of $1.08, on a $1 bet, as against the Matthew Guy-led Liberal-National Coalition on $8.
But if you’re a betting person and reckon you can predict the result in the local seat of Bass, there’s a bit of value on offer.
The chances of the Liberals’ Aaron Brown and the Nationals’ Brett Tessari combining to oust the sitting Member Jordan Crugnale is the favoured outcome, regardless of whether Brown or Tessari goes on to win the seat.
Sportsbet has the Coalition duo in Bass as the hot favourite to win at $1.40, whereas the incumbent Jordan Crugnale is at the juicy odds of $4 to win what is effectively a two-horse race.
Surely, she’s worth a bet at those odds!
Strangely enough, the Independents are at $6 to win Bass, which would be a massive turn-up.
In Gippsland South, where sitting MP Danny O’Brien is well regarded as having a good handle on all the key issues, Sportsbet says he’s over the line at 1.01 while Labor is paying $14, any Independent $21 and the Greens $51.
