Australia's bookies have Labor as a clear favourite to win tonight's election, with odds for a Coalition return to government widening by the hour. 9News
All major bookmakers in the country are currently favouring Labor leader Anthony Albanese to become the nation's next prime minister, with late money flowing for a change of government.
A broad offer of $2.80 for a Coalition win has widened since the start of the campaign – when, following Albanese's infamous employment figure gaffe, some bookies were temporarily offering under $2 for a Coalition win.However, as the campaign dragged on Labor once again firmed as favourites with odds offered on both parties more or less settling into the same markets in which they began.
In 2019 Sportsbet infamously paid out early on Labor leader Bill Shorten winning the election, who they were offering at odds as short as $1.16 to win.
