sgm2 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 There must be a point where Yes becomes a value bet and it's not 50/1. I haven't bet on it and haven't looked into it too much but I saw McBookie tweet saying the polling company that were most accurate at the last election have it 51-49 in favour of NO. If they are going by previous votes then my vote at the previous election bears no resemblance to this one AND a lot of people voting tomorrow will be doing so for the 1st time.

blue4578 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's a hard one to quantify exactly, unlike most sporting events you can bet on, but I genuinely believe that Yes is less than 2% likely and it wouldn't surprise me at all if it gets less than 45% of the vote. I have been known to be hopelessly wrong before of course, as have opinion polls immediately preceding elections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Just so you know, it's nothing to do with hating the English, which we don't, apart from a few loons. It would just be nice to elect our own Government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latino Lover Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've read quite a bit on the independence forum and it's weird seeing the belief that yes will happen on there compared with here. As a gambler I automatically assume the Betfair exchange can't be that far wrong either. Despite being an englander I still think it's the most significant day in British politics in my 32 years on this planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mid-table Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Just realised I never actually updated this topic. In the end I went for £2,000 on the double at 1/4 for No and 4/6 for Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue4578 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I had a lot on it but not quite this much. This guy seems quite smart, particularly if you listen to him speak to Jeremy Vine, but he pretty much bet at the worst available odds. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29314400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yeah I read that earlier - if he's predicted that Yes would take a poll lead as he said, why not hold off until then to bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I know f**k all about golf but stuck £20 (which is about as baw oot as my bets get) across USA and a USA handicap, purely on the basis of this thread. These things never seem to end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiesquirrel Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm thinking of taking out an interest free £3,000 loan, and sticking it on a double of Europe to win the Ryder Cup, and No to win the independence referendum. In the end I went for £2,000 on the double at 1/4 for No and 4/6 for Europe. Shat it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
