I have always said that NC is not part of the South anymore. Virginia went first and NC followed. Prove me wrong, Tarheels.

Trump will win NC, Ohio, Fla, Ohio, Michigan

If so, then he wins the election.

ETA: Not counting on him to win Ohio twice, however.

Wrong. -143 means you bet $143 to win $100. Oddsmakers are basically saying they think she is MORE likely to win NC than earlier

No. IT means if you want to win $100 you have to bet $149. It means people are thinking she got a better chance to win NC.

Insignificant Hispanic population. Black enthusiasm down because cracka arse cracka

Obama had monster turnout in 2012 and still lost to a stiff like romney

polls indicate otherwise. the polls could be wrong, but the polls showed a seesaw race.

Oddsmakers try to maximize profit, not make predictions..

Polls are wrong unless she at the very least gets the same black turnout obama did from 2012

They're 25% of the population and 95% of them vote democrat. They decide NC with turnout, plain and simple

No, it means they are trying to even out the money on their book.

honest question as I'm not a gambler - historically how accurate are the betting markets?

Fair. The line moves with the money, but I'm speaking generally and on a non-sports bet
