Betting market update

Bryan · Sunday 23 September 2007 · 7:08 am

The betting market has recovered a little for the Coalition since last Sunday. Since then, the average probability of a Coalition win from the five bookmakers I am tracking moved from 26.7 per cent to 34.9 per cent. If the same 2007 Federal election were repeated 20 times, the most likely outcome would see John Howard win 7 elections and Kevin Rudd win 13. Last Sunday it was 5 and 15 respectively.

Bookmaker Coalition Odds Labor Odds Probability of a Coalition Win
Centrebet $2.60 $1.50 36.6%
IASBet $2.75 $1.45 34.5%
SportingBet $2.75 $1.45 34.5%
SportsBet $2.80 $1.42 33.6%
SportsAcumen $2.62 $1.48 36.1%

Election date speculation

Bryan · Thursday 20 September 2007 · 5:11 am

While the betting market stills sees the possibility of a 27 October 2007 election, the last Saturday of November or the first Saturday of December are firming as the favourites.

Date Odds Probability
October 27th $4.00 16%
November 3rd $7.50 8%
November 10th $6.00 10%
November 17th $4.50 14%
November 24th $3.50 18%
December 1st $3.75 17%
December 8th $9.00 7%
December 15th $11.00 6%
December 22nd $81.00 1%
December 29th $41.00 2%
Any Saturday during January or beyond $31.00 2%

I remain convinced that the 24 November to 8 December window is the most likely timing.

A 27 October 2007 election would need to be called by next Monday. I don’t think that will happen.
