Sportsbet has opened betting on Debate Bingo ahead of tonight’s forum.
The online bookmaker expects either Scott Morrison or Anthony Albanese will say “climate change” ($1.01), closely followed by “Jobseeker rate” ($1.10), “mismanagement” ($1.12) and “Soloman Islands” ($1.17).
(Not the Solomon Islands, mind you, but the Solo Man Islands, where the primary method of transportation is the yellow kayak.)
Also high up on the bingo card are “gaffe” ($1.25), “Katherine Deves” ($1.33), “out of touch” ($1.40) and “hung parliament” ($1.50).
For those willing to take a wild punt, Sportsbet has longer odds on “Engadine” ($8.50), “Will Smith” ($41) and “did someone say KFC?” ($51).
ScoMo is currently $1.33 to wear a blue tie, while Albo is $1.50 to wear a red tie.
“The gloves are off and we expect ScoMo and Albo to be fired up,” Sportsbet’s Simon Legg said in a statement. “Sarcasm does not appear in our markets, but we expect it will be prevalent during the debate.”
