Usually the odds on betfair are as good of indicator as any but brexit was about 1.1 on the day of the vote and we seen how that ended up.

Definitely think Trump will have a group of silent voters who won't say they voted him due to fear of being labeled racist.

On a side note, personally think some of the media coverage on the election has been disgraceful. The likes of BBC reporting on both candidates side by side and using a nice photo of Clinton smiling compared to a photo of Trump crunching his face up (yes I know it's probably a struggle to find a decent photo of him). Personally think we should be expecting more from an organisation that is supposed to remain impartial.


Was 3.45 when Sunderland was announced for Brexit. Betfair will react as quick as any. With all these Exit polls - little has happened.

Im fairly involved in Betfair and know about 3 of their top clients have 10million bets plus more on Clinton @1.23. Know this as my account manager was trying to offload some of it about 3 weeks ago

Yeah betfair will react very quickly as on markets like these it is investment firms as opposed to pro gamblers. Betfair reacted just before Sunderland was announced so I assume some had inside knowledge of the result just prior to it being announced.
 
I always find the 'race vote' stuff fascinating. Do you think they'll start talking about the 'Indian vote' in the UK? I can't think of a comparison in Ireland

Is there a live feed for their odds?
 
While exit polls are not the best at measuring the racial composition of the electorate, it does seem that minority turnout is way up in Florida. In the preliminary exit polls, 39 percent of voters were people of color. That compares to just 33 percent in 2012.

According to 538

I don't think ethnic minorities over here vote overwhelmingly one way or have key issues that appeal directly to them, or rather issues that put them off.
 
To be fair if Trump wins it won't be due to any favors from the GOP elite anyways. So no point in blaming them.

I dunno if we have a candidate openly talking about deporting them and talking about them the way Trump talks about immigrants then we might.
 
Makes sense if they're not British. It was a British decision for the Brits to make.
Like the ones who've lived in Spain for years, rather than my housemates who've been here for a few years and one of which was previously allowed to vote in a general election? I don't see the argument.
