Outliers here are 538 and HuffPo. Looks like the concesus is Clinton at 80-85% chance of victory.

Betting sites across Europe have it pretty much unanimously at 80/20, breaking in Clinton's favor.
Now are betting sites an accurate predictor or are they a reflection of conventional wisdom? And essentially just another aggregator of already available polling data.
