There is a saying that Australians would bet on two flies crawling up the kitchen wall. A cursory glance at websites such as Sportsbet and bet365 would suggest that there is very much truth in that statement. You can bet on everything from who will win the Miles Franklin Award to the outcome of Australian Ninja Warrior. You can even bet on the by-elections, particularly the Mayo by-election—in which case, if I were anyone in this room, I would be supporting Rebekha Sharkie.
