ACT's David Seymour says he's no longer gambling on when coalition negotiations will wrap up.

Prime Minister-elect Chris Luxon today announced the three parties have reached an agreement on policy.

But the leaders of ACT and New Zealand First say they're not all the way there just yet.

Seymour says he's closed his account at the TAB - given last week he wrongly predicted a deal was just days away.

"So I'm not betting on this anymore, but I think we're a day or two away if I had to put a bet on it."
