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.
