If 79% are backing the Yes campaign, why are the odds so good for a yes vote?
The MSM are biased towards the union and won't carry stories that might help the YES campaign so if you read the MSM it's easy to assume the NO campaign are ahead.
OTOH, the YES campaign are really active on the streets and social media and the feeling is the swing will be towards YES on the day. All the published polls pointing to NO are done with 1,000 people but one has been done with 18,000 and YES has a clear lead.

You would think that if a bookmaker has the data which says that 79% of Scots are backing independence, that to then off 9/2 on a yes vote and 1/8 on a no vote would be exceptionally bad business, or a crap publicity stunt.
