One customer with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is extremely confident in Daniel Andrews’ Labor winning the election next Saturday after placing a massive $20,000 bet with the bookie at odds of $1.16.
Labor have now shortened into $1.14 while the Liberals are out from $4.50 to $5.00.
“Andrews and Napthine are both on the lookout for endorsements but money talks – a $20,000 wager is the greatest sign you’re over the line,” said sportsbet.com.au‘s Will Byrne.

Meanwhile, Sportsbet has opened betting on how many Victorians will show up to vote next Saturday with 92.51% to 93% the $2.75 favourite in the market.
Falling below the 92% benchmark, which would reap a nice early windfall in payments made to an incoming government, is paying $6.00.
While an eager public response of over 94% to either kick out the current government or show an overwhelming display of support is offered at $13.
“Victorians really don’t mess around when it comes to casting a vote – either they’re extremely passionate about politics or just a bit tight with cash!” sportsbet.com.au‘s Will Byrne said.
