The odds-makers at www.SportsBettingDime.com issued a press release today.
They expect the South Carolina primaries to be closer than the races in New Hampshire … but not by much as both Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton are double digit favorites and the duo has reasonable odds (7/1) to both win by over 20-points. For “politicos” looking for a sure thing, bet on Ted Cruz (2/5) being the victim of the most vitriol during Trump’s acceptance/consolation speech. But if you’re looking for an underdog, take Jeb & George Bush (10/1) to get the most barbs from Trump.
Additionally, SportsBettingDime.com favors Trump (2/7) and Clinton (3/2) to win in both South Carolina and Nevada; Ben Carson (4/5) to drop out before Super Tuesday; and Trump to drop 12.5 expletives between Friday and Tuesday. Complete odds are available at here
