Amazon received 238 proposals from cities desperate to be home to the tech giant's next headquarters. But how many actually have a shot?

According to one gambling site, Atlanta leads the pack. The Georgia capital has 2-1 odds to win Amazon's second headquarters on the Irish gambling site Paddy Power. Props to CNN for catching it.。

Two-to-one odds don't necessarily mean too much for Amazon's final verdict, but it's still a major lead against some of the other contenders. Philadelphia faces 7-1 odds; Boston is looking at 8-1 odds; and Miami has 12-1 odds. Those are a lot better than some of the longshot contenders: 20-1 for Denver, 20-1 for Los Angeles, and 30-1 for Sacramento.。
