That Irish betting website Paddy Power used to have Atlanta winning the Amazon bid at 3/1 odds, now they have Northern Virginia at 5/2. Oddly enough though, they only have a small handful of cities (or regions) on there:

Northern Virginia: 5/2
Montgomery County: 16/1
Raleigh: 20/1
Nashville: 22/1
Newark: 33/1
Columbus: 33/1
Indianapolis: 33/1

Quite a strange list IMO, obviously they've heard word that the DC metro is the leading contender, but they no longer have Philly, Atlanta, Boston, or NYC (among numerous others) on the list - the 3 former being very serious candidates in my eyes.

I don't think an Irish betting website has special insight, but I do wonder how they chose this list.
