Donald Trump continued to be the heavy favorite at 1/5.5 odds to win the South Carolina GOP Primary and requiring a $55 bet to claim $10 (the $55 is refunded only with a Trump win).

While the favorite to win South Carolina and seeing 25 of the public betting backing, it was Ted Cruz at 4/1 odds seeing 33 percent of the wagering action.

Early odds suggest Trump is yet another “lock” to win, similar to what we were seeing in New Hampshire.

An Anti-Trump Super PAC hopes to put the kibosh on that notion.  They plan to engage in extensive robocalling and mailer campaigns ahead of next Saturday’s (February 20) South Carolina GOP Primary.

"We had an opportunity in Iowa because the issues that voters there cared about are exactly the issues where Trump is out of step," Group Chairperson Katie Packer told CBS News. The PAC opted to skip New Hampshire because of Trump's substantial lead and the fact that, she said, "those voters tend to be more liberal so would favor a more liberal candidate like Trump."
