Fed: Punters hunger for election

An international betting agency expects the federal election to pull in more money
than both the NRL and AFL grand finals combined.

Centrebet analyst GERARD DAFFY predicts punters will pour more than $2 million into
the October 9th election outcome, with JOHN HOWARD'S coalition the early $1.55 favourite
and Labor's MARK LATHAM the $2.30 underdog.

Punters splurged just over $1 million on the 2001 election when KIM BEAZLEY came up
short against the HOWARD team.

Mr DAFFY -- whose agency bets on election results around the world -- says it'll be
their biggest betting event of the year.
