The bookies have David Crisafulli and the LNP at prohibitive odds to sweep to power this Saturday.

Sportsbet currently have the Coalition at $1.08 to be sworn into government, while Steven Miles and Labor are sitting at $8.50.

On the next line of betting are the Greens, Katter’s Australian Party and One Nation all at $101.

The odds reflect the polling from the last eight months, which have all pointed to a LNP landslide.

Exclusive YouGov polling from just last week showed the LNP was still well ahead of Labor, with parties’ primary vote at 41 per cent and 31 per cent respectively.

An exit poll by the Courier-Mail also revealed Labor was on track for a devastating defeat.

The poll of 1000 Queenslanders across 10 seats showed the LNP’s primary vote was at 48.2 per cent, compared with Labor’s 30 per cent, the Greens’ 9.4 per cent and One Nation at 7.4 per cent.

The result was strikingly similar to September’s Newspoll, with the exception of a recorded 42 per cent primary vote for the LNP and lower vote for the Greens.

In terms of total seats won by each party, Sportsbet odds favour the LNP to claim 60-64 ($3.50) and Labor to net just 20-24 ($3.50).
