    Currency markets will go dead ahead of important news, too risky. One real numbers come out it will be volatile as feck.

                They count every single vote, I would imagine, but I can't find anything on their site about what happens in a dead heat. Maybe they just void all the bets and refund the stakes?

                  just heard theres a legal challenge.

                  the gingers faction thought salmon was talking about Stirling.

                  they want Stirling, but they dont want sterling
