"We paid out $1.3 million early to punters who backed Labor early, but on top of that we obviously have a massive payout on the Coalition which will be at least three times that figure," Sportsbet spokesman Richard Hummerston told"Seventy per cent of the cash staked before the early payout had come for Labor, our punters had called the election early. We thought we’d simply give them their cash early.
TAB’s Gerard Daffy said the betting turnover on the total result was a record for a federal election while there was also strong interest in individual seats particularly Warringah. He also acknowledged that betting houses have had a rough run on picking political winners in recent times.

😂😂😂😂😂🖕🖕🖕🖕
Someone has just lost their job
Don't worry, Sportsbet will get it all back tomorrow from the sucker gamblers out there.
Handing out free money Sounds like the Labor party!
Gambling again Sportsbet....? 😳
And the matter is over, is it?
Whoever made that decision at Sportsbet should lose their job.
Prior to the election they said they couldn’t take a bet on Liberals and everyone they paid out were reinvesting on Labor they just talk shit for publicity
It wasn't a bungle. It was a carefully calculated marketing campaign. $5.2m is a piss in the ocean compared to what they make. And will make by encouraging more betting.
The house always wins. Simple.
Best thing to come out of the election
They wiĺl still be there tommrow to take bets so cannot feel sorry for them
tough I knew 6months ago labor will lose but was told to keep my mouth shut as I'm the worlds best medium
🤣🤣🤣
What a crying shame for a betting agency to lose money.
Pay em out early 😂😂

Cancer fraud Belle Gibson spent on crypto-currency, Sportsbet account, court hearsCancer conwoman Belle Gibson made a long overdue appearance in a Melbourne court, stepping into the witness box on Tuesday afternoon for questioning Can't say I feel too sorry for those duped by her. Anyone who'd believe something like this off the internet are just plain too silly to feel sorry for. If Hanna Negro was sentenced to Jail, why is Belle Gibson walking free? Hanna deals with regular death threats, people spit in her face and tell her to 'go neck' herself. Yet Belle Gibson remains relatively unaffected? How is that ok? Put her in jail for 20 years, seize her assets and ensure that copycat filth are deterred. We shouldn't have to suffer this woman the right to walk amongst the innocent.

Last night's surprise election result still harbours at least one more mysteryThe election is over, the Coalition has won the most seats. But we don't yet know if it will form a majority or a minority government. Slomo the scum has been planning it for years and the morons fell for it I think the REAL mystery is: What exactly IS the PMs agenda for Australia And how does he plan to achieve it? (Because no one in the media has a clue either !! They never BOTHERED to cut through the sales pitch/spin to tell us ) It’s not a surprise. Ya ll always listen to noise makers. That’s the problem. The real voters don’t talk much or debate online.
