It's generally thought that people are more willing to say if they are voting 'out' than if they are voting 'remain'. It has been the case for years with Labour and Tory when (especially in the 80's) Labour would poll very highly and seats would be presumed to be going their way and then they would come out Tory - the conclusion being that people would say they were going to vote Labour in public and to their colleagues but actually vote Tory. Not saying they're correct though.
It's only big odds if it is 50:50 The big money will be going on remain at 1/3 I'd imagine, although any gambler worth his salt would probably avoid tickling any bets controlled by parliament ultimately.
The odds are adjusted with punters bets. One week ago you could get 5/1 on a out vote winning. That can only suggest that the money this week is being lumped on the out vote. This vote will be close. If you want out please please get off your arse and vote. If you want to stay in....why not go on holiday for 3 weeks and come back to a better country
It will be water for the time being...I'm off the drink for a couple of weeks...I thought my liver was well overdue for a holiday..
I know that. It doesn't mean the bookies still can't suffer a heavy loss, though. I'm voting out They factor in many things when it comes to working out the odds. Money placed is just one of them.
Agreed lots of factors and of course they always make a profit. Out for me too. With Tel that's 3 of us.
That's the point though mate. Percentage wise how many people do you think have actually read any of that stuff and how many are just falling on a side. I'd be shocked if 20% of voters have actually looked into it.
I have looked into it from many angles and have saw positives and negatives on both sides. After a lot of consideration I have decided to vote to stay in..
