Odds are shortening, but not by much.

Drifted back to 10/3. A lot of money to be made by those who are pretty certain of a Yes vote.

Drifted back to 10/3. A lot of money to be made by those who are pretty certain of a Yes vote.

Drifted again to 7/2.

You can get 3/10 on a No vote so there is some arbitrage there.

I suspect the papers will have a big effect on the last week. Front page fear, last person to leave turn the lights out stuff. I would think most of them will be pro union.

After frackin years of mindnumbingly tedious debate it comes down to the papers on the day?

They always do, the kinnock "last person" sun headline had a massive impact.

I'm on my phone so can get image but the Sunday herald save the nhs page last week was the first one to come out.

Bedwetting at its finest.

How do you save the NHS?

You don't, but if you're not independent you can blame Westminster.

Prince Charles is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets the first one.
The patient replies: "Fair fa your honest sonsie face, Great Chieftain o the pudding race, Aboon them a ye take yer place, Painch, tripe or thairm, As lang's ma airm."
HRH is confused, so he smiles and moves on to the next patient, who responds:
"Some have meat an canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we have meat and we can eat, So let the Lord be thankit."
Even more confused, the Prince moves on to the next patient, who immediately begins to chant: "Wee sleekit, cowerin timrous beasty, O the panic in thy breasty, Thou needna start awa sae hastie, Wi bickerin brattle..."
Now seriously troubled, Charles turns to the accompanying doctor and asks, "Is this a psychiatric ward?"
"No,"replies the doctor, "This is the serious Burns unit."

Reading stuff on facebook, there's some real nastiness between the Ayes and the Naes. Seems to me that this whole independence thing, regardless of which way it goes, has made enemies out of people who were previously friends.
