I'm sure it was when I posted. Can't see the history like you used to be able to do with the horses.

You can get 14/5 still.

Didn't think it was 3/2. At that price I would have taken the (substantial) profit

I take my political betting tips from sites that specialise in political betting

Fair enough. Don't say I didn't warn you

[eek]

I think I did point out at the time that those were good odds as the MSM weren't reporting what was really going on. It's all over social media. Checkout #indyref on twitter.

3/2 on a Yes vote on Betfair.

Worth a dabble?

Clacton By-Election could be fun

UKIP 1/12
Conservative 6/1
Labour 25/1
Liberal Democrat 150/1

If AtW were here we'd have had a full economic analysis of a Yes vote with a particular focus on the effect it would have on the price of West Midlands bedsits.

That's why I want a Yes. And to be honest until about a fortnight ago I didn't think it would be Yes but I'm now expecting Yes to win by a very small amount...

What Eek said apart from expecting a narrow yes.

I agree Devo max is what Salmond would actually prefer since full independence is a massive step and if (let's face it that's WHEN) they feck it up the SNP will catch the full blame for it so he'd rather dodge that bullet.
A narrow loss would play far too well into his hands as he could continue to play the "we're dominated by those foul English" card while arguing for maxed devolution which is very much having a whole cake shop and a job lot of cake forks.

I'm not betting on it. I can usually predict football matches with a fair degree of success but if I put a bet on I never win. I don't want to jinx independence

Have you thought about the cause and effect of this 'jinx'? Seriously, if you think independence is going to happen, stick some money on it.

[JustinTime]

Sadly, it's not going away any time soon. The "No" vote will prevail but by a small margin; cue another three years of Mr Potato Head banging on about that narrow defeat justifying Devo Max, which is his end game anyway. If the Scots vote Yes, he's never going to be able to deliver what he has said he will, he wants a narrow No.

It's death by a thousand cuts. They'll be back again if they don't win this time around. Little wonder that they're so attracted to the EU; keep askni' the same feckin' question until you get the answer that you want. The ****ers are harder to get rid of than Athlete's Foot.

The odds are shortening but you can still get 14/5 so fill your boots.

At the last Scottish Government elections the SNP were always behind in the polls and had the same MSM bias against them. On the day they romped home and got a majority, something that the system was designed to stop happening.
