Bookies have shortened the odds for a Labor upset on polling day, following a last minute surge of support.
Betting agency SportsBet tightened the odds for a Labor win from $8.00 to $5.75 on Saturday after bets tipping an upset victory flowed in.
"The majority of money is coming in today is heading Labor's way," Sportsbet spokesman Ben Bulmer told AAP.

Nick Xenophon candidate Rebekha Sharkey has seen a last minute rally in her support as she seeks to clinch the South Australian seat of Mayo from dumped former Liberal minister Jamie Briggs.
About ninety-five per cent of money coming in on polling day has backed Ms Sharkey.
She remains the $1.50 favourite with Briggs at $2.50.
