Usually, punters have a fairly good idea of how an election might pan out. The Tasmanian state election is an exception. If the odds are any indication, it could be a cliffhanger.
LABOR SLIGHT FAVOURITE BUT PHOTO FINISH EXPECTED
Labor has been posted as a slight favourite, at Sportingbet Australia, to be returned in Tasmania after Premier David Bartlett called a state election for March 20.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Labor were in real danger of losing government but retained favouritism at this stage.
“Labor are $1.80 favourites but I wouldn’t be surprised to see support come from punters for the Liberals here,” Sullivan said.
“The Liberals are $2.00 outsiders but that could well change before March 20.
“The Greens will also be a major factor here in Tasmania again and could potentially hold the balance of power.”
Sportingbet Australia’s market pays on the party that provides the Premier so any deal with the Greens could be very influential.
