Mr. Bojangles Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) I've heard of Populus before. In fact, I'd be amazed if you've never heard of them. I'm surprised if this is their first poll on this. EDIT: Also, I did a yougov poll a couple of nights ago. A lot of questions before the actual independence question, but other than that, the questions weren't quite as leading as usual.

Confidemus Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Best odds I can see is 11/50 for NO with Betway. (Odds shortening) Best for YES is 3/1 with Betfair (Odds drifting) I thought I was stealing money last June when I backed YES at 3/1. Looks as though I've chucked a ton away. Doesn't quite paint the full picture though, here's odd less than 3/1: 11/4 - Bet365, Skybet, Betfred, Betvictor, Coral, William Hill, Bwin, Youwin 5/2 - Sportingbet, Stan James, Winner, Spreadex 27/10 - 888sport, Unibet 14/5 - Betway Happy to correct you.

He did say best odds, so you're not correcting him at all. If you're going to bet on yes, surely you'd want the best price? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I did say, Lexington, is that the odds he gave don't paint the overall picture. But correct away, by all means, seems to be your new sport in the off season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of balance and all that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Feel free, flower x Okok. Well tryfield has posted the best available odds for both outcomes, so any potential punters should use them. However, if there's any punters out there who wish to bet on the referendum and be ripped off in the process, use Confi's companies for yes and this company for no: Boylesports will give you an eye wateringly poor 1/5 on for a no vote to be returned.

Colkitto Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Who are Populus? I assume they have passed your rigorous standards and you have been through their methodology with a fine-toothed comb as is your wont? Ah wait - "support for an independent Scotland at 46% " - no need for any scrutiny! I forgot... Pretty well known organisation and member of the British Polling Council. Haven't seen the data tables yet to make comment on the methodology 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ah the Commonwealth Games. A nasty move by the SNP dictatorship to shamelessly promote Scotland. No way would Cameron use the Olympics of two years ago as a political argument for remaining in the Union. I The SG should be ashamed of themselves if they think that Scotland holding an enormous event such as this successfully should be held up as an example of it's potential. Down with this sort of self promotional nastiness. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/commonwealth-games/27746794 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Seen the data tables for the Populus poll. In my opinion can't be taken as a credible poll as sample size too small and they didn't ask the referendum question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Seen the data tables for the Populus poll. In my opinion can't be taken as a credible poll as sample size too small and they didn't ask the referendum question. Yeah, definitely an iffy one. Not paying much attention to this poll. Be good if a decent sample sized and properly weighted with a representative demographic poll was coming out shortly! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
