    Interesting point. She does have residences there. And more of a moral right to a say than Californian students who happen to be in the country.

    But I suspect, as Queen, she doesn't vote. Phil the Greek might though.

      You posting from Goodison Park? All I can hear on the telly is some scouser shouting 'Boo' every time a German gets the ball, he's louder than the commentator

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          That was my 5-1 bet to get my two free bets.

          Wolfsburg to win, both teams to score.

          Think I've lost my tenner.

          Still, looks like I might get £76 on the referendum.

            I think you're right there seeing as its now 3-0. Better luck on the referendum

                Yes, decimal odds are more intuitive., i.e. 21/5 + 1 (the original stake) = 5.2. So, in total, you get back 5.2 times your original stake if you win.

                      you are correct based on the polls etc. that's why a yes will cause a big move. As soon as any indication yes might win the volatility will shoot up.
