If forced to have a bet the Owl would be taking the odds on about Labor in NSW
Back in November the Owl wrote the following about the NSW election: The Owl does not understand why the Liberals are the favourites in NSW The conventional wisdom is that the Liberals and National government will be re-elected in New South Wales. The betting markets have the coalition odds on favourite at $1.50. The Owl does not understand why. He thinks there has been an over reaction to the replacement of an Opposition Leader. He is happy to have a dollar or two on Labor at the $2.65 Those who followed that advice would be at peace with themselves at the moment because the Betfair market now has Labor favourite at $1.88 with the Coalition at $2.08. There's a nice little earn there. The opinion polls, for what they are worth, has the contest near enough to 50:50 but if you forced me to have another bet I'd be taking the odds on about Labor.
