DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Did they not say that more has been bet on a YES outcome than on a NO? With greater odds given on a YES, it must be in the bookies interest for it being a NO vote. Naw? More bets but not more money betted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaven Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 More bets but not more money betted. Not the whole story though. Would they stand to lose more with a YES vote? A £10 bet on NO will be less costly to them than a £5 bet on YES? Naw? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw? Their aim is to win roughly the same regardless of the result, always has been and always will be, big bookies don't gamble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Bookies will be cleaning up then. Fair enough, hope that there will be a Yes vote, but it's utter stupidity to put any kind of money on it considering there's next to no chance of it happening and the momentum going the other way. Some people really are fuckin thick! Momentum going the other way? Have you been living in a cave? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Momentum going the other way? Have you been living in a cave? You've been saying momentum has been with yes for over a year TBF. In reality, yes is no closer now than it was two years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 They wouldn't take it if they thought they were going to lose. :lol: We can add bookmaking to the long list if things you have embarrassed yourself on Darien Parp.

Confidemus Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 You've been saying momentum has been with yes for over a year TBF. In reality, yes is no closer now than it was two years ago. Can you provide a bar chart, graph or some other sort of statistical evidence to prove that I've said momentum has been with Yes for a year now. I was talking about since the debate. Why don't you go back to telling us how we have no chance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another thread about gambling I read recently. I think the gambling university thread where hb refused to believe anyone on here could be making money out of it, demanded to see proof and then when a p & l account was provided showing massive profits, just disappeared from the thread for a year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerwickMad Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Momentum going the other way? Have you been living in a cave?No. They only thing I've noticed is separatists becoming more passionately Yes. Most of these people would just vote yes whatever, despite any argument against. The undecideds have been waiting to be convinced, and from what I see, very few are being convinced so are going the other way. Salmonds battering the other night won't have helped. The only slight problem No have that I can see is getting people out to vote, but the more passionate, desperate, forceful and ridiculous the separatists behave, the more likely they are to vote. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's such a classless individual that, when proved wrong (which happens more often than he would have you think), he doesn't even have the grace to admit it.

Confidemus Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) No. So the 2% increase to Yes post debate and the pro UK Daily Record interviewing 5 DK's who had ALL either moved towards or fully over to a Yes vote were a figment of my imagination then? ETA: BTW this - "desperate, forceful and ridiculous" comment from you just makes you look like an imbecile. A rather bitter one at that.

1320Lichtie Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Salmonds battering? I thought he was as terrible as anybody else did but that debate meant f**k all to most people. It just got everybody speaking and wanting answers and realising what a big decision this is. I don't have a scooby why folk think they are able to call this one way or the other down to folk they know going one way or the other though. I think people are underestimating just how much of the electorate don't have a fucking scooby about politics or don't care about politics but will just be coming out to vote on the day. ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
