Taking a political detox

At last! Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced an election date for 21 May.

And to top it off, Outsider picked the date on his favourite betting app, winning $1.50 on his $10 bet.

The next thing for Outsider to bet on is who will be the next PM?

Will it be the guy who fudged the cash rate figure when probed by a journalist or the one who missed the mark on JobKeeper expenditure by $60 billion?

“Too hard to call”, Outsider thought to himself.

Instead, Outsider decided to put $1 on Clive Palmer to win a Senate seat with hopes of winning $66 back.

Outsider has had so much fun with betting apps, he has decided to devote more time to it by deactivating his Twitter account and taking a break from reading the paper or watching the news.

And what better time to do that than during an election cycle.
