According to online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au on Monday, in Calare Andrew Gee is favoured to retain the seat for the Nationals but is paying a fairly juicy $1.25 for any supporters who believe he is a certainty.
The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers' Sam Romano is on the second line of betting at $3.35 with Labor's Jess Jennings rated only a $12 chance.
Then comes The Greens' Stephanie Luke ($41), the Christian Democrats' Shuyi Chen ($51) and United Australia Party's Beverley. T. Cameron ($61), with Liberal Democrat Stephen Bisgrove the rank outsider at $101.
Bill Shorten's Labor Party is a very short $1.14 favourite to form government, with the the Coalition a $5.50 outsider.
Sportsbet has also framed a market on the number of House of Representatives seats to be won by each party.
The shortest price ($2.50) is for Labor to win 81-85 of the 150 seats, which would give the party a majority of between 12 and 20 seats, while 86-90 seats is rated a $3 chance.
