Blaven Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Is this a serious question? Bookies odds don't follow likelihood of victory, they follow the numbers of people betting on one outcome or another. If enough people were betting on Yes it would show a Yes win as an odds on bet despite the polls being the other way round. Christ almighty. What the hell do they teach kids at schools these days? *ucking modern studies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally wrong. More bets have been placed on YES to win. 58.38% of all bets on indyref have been placed on YES. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10 CC ICT Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Totally wrong. More bets have been placed on YES to win. 58.38% of all bets on indyref have been placed on YES. You're obviously the forum's self appointed gambling expert or a wannabe bookie. Why do you suppose there's a limit on the amount punters can put on a Yes win but not on a No win? Is the amount placed on a Yes win more or less than a No win? Just asking like! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can place as many bets as you want on NO winning. Obviously more money has been lashed onto NO to win. Just telling like! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Personally, I think Confi has crashed and burned. His contributions are getting more and more venomous by the day.

Septentrional Wasp Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 So in short none of us really has the faintest idea. Yes could be ahead 55:45 or No could be seriously romping this at 70:30. We'll know on 19th Sept. Either way it'll be a relief when it's all over. Will we know on the 19th? Has anyone any idea how long it`ll take to collate all the results? Also will it be like a general/local elections with the results coming in by region/council area, or will it just be a yes or no result when they get all the results in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Totally wrong. More bets have been placed on YES to win. 58.38% of all bets on indyref have been placed on YES. Money placed on the two though? Sure I saw 2 punters alone had put over £800,000.00 on NO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 just attempting to inject a little balance, and a little caution to "both" sides Whereas you were completely balanced and fair after the Salmond/ Darling debate weren't you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
