Wot he said.49% in / 51% out 76% turn out
To refer to one of my earlier posts, if the bookies are right then we are out. William Hill quote 2-1 in favour of leave by their punters. Forget the odds, they reflect the money being laid and the bigger bets are going on remain but they are dwarfed by the number of bets going on leave. Just like in the general election where the money went on a hung Parliament but the numbers went for a Tory majority.I'm ignoring the opinion pollsters and going with the bookies. They tend to get it right...
Erm ladbrokes 6/1 leave. It will be in overall volume and they're 84% sure we're staying currently.To refer to one of my earlier posts, if the bookies are right then we are out.

No it won't be. Bookies set their odds to maximise their profits or at best limit their losses. If one hundred people bet £1 on outcome A and one person puts £1000 on B then B will have the shorter odds.Erm ladbrokes 6/1 leave.

Where are you seeing that? I just google it. I can't see William Hill odds, but bet fair have leave at 10-1To refer to one of my earlier posts, if the bookies are right then we are out.
The odds changed of leave from3/1 to 6/1 today which to me means more money is being placed in remain, no?No it won't be.

Don't worry, about 50% of the Scottish population felt, actually still feels, pretty pissed off at their referendum results.Whatever happens in this vote, about 50% of the UKs population are going to be pretty pissed off in the morning.
More money is being placed on Remain as William Hill quoted (In both the Guardian and Independent yesterday). But more punters are betting on leave.The odds changed of leave from3/1 to 6/1 today which to me means more money is being placed in remain, no?
So, I have £1000 I wish to bet. If I bet on leave I win c£6000 if we leave. If we remain I win c£60. You think this is stacked on the fact they think we'll leave and want to give me £6000 instead of £60?More money is being placed on Remain as William Hill quoted (In both the Guardian and Independent yesterday).
