Abbott has won..sportsbet call it early!

Abbott just won the election...Sportsbet have called it ....
That’s it! Sorry Sky News, apologies to the ABC, don’t bother news.com.au. We’re calling it first. Sportsbet has declared the federal election a one-horse race and we’re paying out all bets on the Coalition nine days before Australia goes to the polls. We’re so confident of a landslide Coalition victory for Tony Abbott and his team, we’ve paid out more than $1.5 million in bets to our members – a first in Australian federal election history. Following last night’s third and final debate between the two leaders, the Coalition is at Black Caviar-like odds ($1.03) to claim government. (We paid out on the wonder mare as well!) Kevin Rudd and Labor is $11.50 to win the election – their highest price since betting markets opened immediately following the 2010 federal election. As it stands in Sportsbet’s electorate markets: • The Coaltion are favourites in 90 electorates • Labor are favourites in 56 electorates • Katter’s Australian Party is favourite in 1 electorate (Kennedy – QLD) • Independents are favourite in 1 electorate (Denison – TAS) • 2 electorates are currently too close to call (Lyons – TAS, and Lingiari – NT) The Coalition are favoured to win 34 more seats than Labor. Of the 150 electorate in the 2010 federal election, 147 Sportsbet favourites went on to win the seat. - See more at: http://www.sportsbet.com.au/blog/ho...013-election?CarouselSB1#sthash.g0Theamm.dpuf

Kevin Rudd at $11.50 to win:eek:
 
Odds on these 'odd' events are just free marketing hype (as is working here).

Apparently they won't take more than a couple hundred on them.

I'd almost hit the 'report spam' button on SportsBet.
 
Sportsbet did this with the Brownlow medal a few years back and got it wrong. Paid out and then had to pay out again on a different winner.

Pure advertising. This will be discussed throughout the internet and no doubt reported on the news tonight. Marketing manager needs a pat on the back for this concept.

Thought gambling counted as a cash-out on the card, therefore no points associated?
