 The Current Market:

The Bookies Guide to Every Electorate

In the table below I have set out my own assessment of the chances of Labor and the Coalition in every seat and the prices currently quoted by Sportingbet (shown as Sport) and Portland (Port). In looking for a bet concentrate on those electorates where the bookmakers have a longer price than shown in the Price Needed columns.

We will update the prices periodically between now and election day and draw attention to those that look the best value.
