Below, watch bookmaker Betfair.com's betting odds change in real-time over the course of Election Day. According to Betfair's political expert Michael Robb, "The real value in watching the betting markets is that they will be quickest to react to news coming through. On election night you might watch one of CNN, ABC, Fox, etc, but the fact that there are thousands of people betting in these markets means that the impact of all the differing reports coming from different sources are reflected in the candidates' market price." As University of Kansas economics professor/betting trends expert Koleman Strumpf says,"On Election Night I'll look at the movement on the betting sites to see what's going on. I watch CNN too, out of the corner of an eye, but it's not necessary." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/keith-thomson/more-reliable-than-exit-p_b_1406 56.html
