    Let's hope in 10-20 years time they don't end up regretting being one of the "in crowd".

    Mind you, one or two of them were old enough to know better...

    OK, so it would be £150 at 2/5 to guarantee £30 profit.

    But this doesn't reflect the odds, this reflects on the amount of money bet on Remain which is skewing the numbers.


    Ladbrookes said that most bets had been going on BREXIT, but they were smaller compared to the big bets from richer punters who bet on BREMAIN.

    Correct, there are 2. Brussels and Strasbourg.
