Interesting Thks.

Would you happen to know the total value of bets placed, either with Corals or better still with all bookies ?

A mate of mine has a fiver on at 5/1 for yes, bookies won't be taking much in the way of lumpy bets, a fiver here and a tenner there max

Just checked on Betfair and well over 8 million quid has been bet (matched). The figures for the other bookmakers are rarely revealed, but one firm has reported a bet of £ 800,000 to win £ 200,000 on the No vote winning.

Not a hope in hell any bookies would lay that kind of bet, bookies reps are even lower than Pattaya Bar Owners for telling the truth

Seen so many of these bullshit stories over the years, so and so has had a million on Cheryl Coles baby being black or Ferocious next trainers being pink etc. Just bookmakers bullshit, was talking to the manager of Hills this morning and he said they have to ring up any punts on this for over a fiver as my mate wanted a tenner on at 3/1.

Thanks OC, I can well believe those numbers.

Only slightly related but it is making the UK FTSE index tricky to trade.

In the event of a No vote, logic would suggest a rise in that index, a sort of relief rally.

If so, opening a " long " buy position on the index before the outcome would be profitable, however a Yes vote would be a massive problem.

From what I am seeing a lot of indecision.

The YES crowds/mobs are mobilised and been out in force over the weekend. Laid siege to the BBC for biased reporting and big demo in Glasgow. Surprised at the bookies odds, very close to call.

I was just looking at the exchange rate and it's 52.5 on xe.com and Kasikorn Bank doing 52.1 on a bank transfer. It's never really gone over 55 recently ? So I'm thinking this might be as good a time as any to send some more money across.

It's going right down to the wire, I would like a Yes vote purely for the chaos that it will cause the establishment

Hate making predictions but I think it will be a No vote.

It will be havoc if it is a Yes vote.

On a personal basis I`d rather the Union stays together.

As compensation just in case it is a Yes win, that would virtually scupper Labour`s chances in the next general election.
