Betfair may be British, but they've tended to "get it right" most of the time in U.S. elections.

Thanks for the PredictWise news!

Why this site uses odds from Betfair.com
This site's odds are entirely from the site Betfair.com. After Intrade.com was shut down, Betfair became the only prediction market in the world that has a lot of trading and is efficient. It is based in the U.K., where regulations are less onerous. It does not accept American traders due to regulations. Betfair, however, expresses their odds in a very technical gambling format; hence the need for this site.
...
Betfair is a market -- in other words, candidates' shares are traded just like stocks in the stock market, and the prices that result tell you the probability.
...
ElectionBettingOdds.com is the only site that shows the odds as well as their recent percentage increase/decrease.
