Sportsbet Election Odds & Predictions

The Sportsbet federal election markets are our biggest non-sport attraction. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been in power since May 2022, having been re-elected in 2025. ALP is the firm favourite in our politics odds to win the federal election in 2028, as displayed in the table below:

Albanese is seeking a third straight term in power, but faces a strong challenge from Angus Taylor and the coalition. Federal election markets are to be contested by the Greens, One Nation, and other independents. ALPwon 94 seats in the House of Representatives in 2025, the highest ever by a single party in history.
