        Agree. However, I find it hard to go with perceived "value bets" as an occasional punter. I think it makes sense if you're a regular (value is rewarded in the long run) but, otherwise, it makes more sense to go with who you think will actually win/lose. I mainly see betting as fun, anyway - I very rarely do it. Shares OTOH

          One simple, if very cynical explanation, is the following: wealthy financial entities, including local banks and rich individuals, all of whom have an interest in keeping the UK in the EU and preserving the status quo, are placing far larger bets, even if their number is ultimately far lower than the number of people betting on Brexit. And in yet another case of reflexivity, with the public seeing that "Remain" is winning based on bookie odds, it is shifting popular sentiment toward Remain, even as the vast majority of bets is actually for Leave.

          To be sure, none of this is broken down when either the investing or general public see the bookie odds: they just note 76% chance of Leave, when in reality almost two thirds of bookie bettors are voting to Leave, despite not having nearly the financial capacity to offset the bookie line as a result of the few massive bets being placed on the other side.

          Of course, the actual referendum is a democratic, and popular one, not one where the rich can influence or buy votes, and as such far more important is not the skew to the Brexit or Bremain line due to outsized bets, but the actual number of bets in any direction. As such, it would be certainly useful to the British voting public to know not just the bottom line odds, but how they got to where they are, which as Ladborkes admits, it "has received a higher volume of bets to leave the EU."

          Substantially larger in fact, some 62% to 38%, which also explains the dramatic divergence between the neck and neck polling and the actual Brexit odds which see Remain winning with whopping 76% odds. Because it is those 38% supports of Remain, whose outsized bets are driving not only the reported odds, but also global market sentiment.

          The real question is whether that same wealthy minority which is influencing bookie odds will also be able to manipulate the final Referendum outcome in less than 24 hours.
          It's missing the obvious point that the establishment knows that MI5 / Illuminati have rigged the election so there's money to be made by those in the know.

                The bookie said someone came in an hour ago and place 5k on Brexit @ 7-1. That's confidence or Nigel Farage.

                    Well, theres no other bloody exit polls.

                    Judging by my polling station (mostly old people, loads wearing England related clothing) I'd say it was Brexit.
