Mrs Britnell is rated at the prohibitive odds of $1.07 in election markets for next Saturday's state poll.
Independent James Purcell is second favourite at the distant odds of $7, followed by former Warrnambool mayor Michael Neoh ($11), with The Greens candidate Tom Campbell at $12, Kyle Gaston (Labor) is $16, independent Michael McCluskey ($18), Jim Doukas of the Country Party $31, Joseph Purtill (DLP) $51 and Terry Riggs of the Victorian Socialists is at $61.
A Sportsbet spokesman said there had been little interest from in punters in the South West Coast market.
The state election will be held next Saturday, but pre-polling can be done at 48 Kepler Street in Warrnambool just down from the Capitol Theatre.
