Press statement from Sportingbet:
Punters have responded to rumours of leadership moves on NSW Premier Nathan Rees in the Sportingbet Australia leadership market, blowing him back out to $3.75 from a short stint as favourite at $3.25.
Amid furious betting on the federal election markets in the wake of Tony Abbott’s ascension, a number of bets on the NSW ALP leadership market have pushed long-time aspirant and former planning minister Frank Sartor to the fore.
Sartor has shortened considerably from $5.00 into $3.75.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said that it has been a good day for political punters, who have also been energised by the speculation about the NSW ALP leadership.
“Just when Nathan Rees thought he was safe, the knives seem to be back out,” said Mr Sullivan.
“Punters are telling us that they take the rumours seriously – and this time Rees won’t have the option of sacking Tripodi,” he said.
“Meanwhile the Carmel Tebbutt and Kristina Kenneally options have been exhausted and they look unlikely to run, leaving them to drift in the betting.”
“This leaves Sartor, who we expect will continue to shorten in our leadership market.”
Tebbutt and Kenneally have both drifted to $4.20 and $5.50 respectively.
