In a release from Sportsbet on Thursday, they detailed the reasoning behind the enormous payout.
“Sportsbet punters have declared Saturday’s Federal Election run and won, backing Labor into Winx-like odds of $1.16 with 70% of all money wagered on the election going on Bill Shorten’s team,” the release said. “With punters so confident, Sportsbet has today paid out early on all bets placed on Labor to win Saturday’s vote“Labor have attracted several large wagers including one savvy punter who walks away with over $128,000 before a vote has been counted.”
“Our punters have spoken through their bets! 7 out of every 10 bets on the election are on Labor. They’re supremely confident we will be paying out on Saturday so we have decided to pay them early.“Sportsbet’s markets currently suggest Labor will win 82 seats and the Coalition 63.”
I wouldn't call that a bet. Just an insurance policy against the zombification of Australia.
MRobertsQLD Just like way back when some real smart dude thought 'easy $10k' by punting $100k of his hard earned on the Australia ODI team $1.10 to win a first round World Cup match against Bangladesh...ouch!!
Should have bet with Sportsbet, they paid out on a Labor win. Idiot put it on with Ladbrooks.
Zero sympathy - only bet what you can afford to lose

I hope the bookie didnt take this bet on the tick. Old mate might be a bit hard to find on Monday when it comes to settling up. OUCH
It was prob Scomo who used National funds to put the bet on. That's how much little faith he had in himself
Hopefully cashed out early

I just hope you not only do what you said you would for Cancer sufferers but look at hospital waiting lists, emergency waiting times and staffing at public hospitals, particularly in the West of Melb where all immigrants are settling. billshortenmp Unfortunately Hawke was the last Labor “leader”.
