It's nearly upon us (thank god) and it will soon be all over. If I want a real indication of what the likely outcome of something is, I never take much notice of the various arguments, I check the bookies' sites.
On Tuesday, the average price for remain was 4/6, quite a strong favourite. This morning it is 1/2, almost a certainty. The odd thing, I think, is that over 88% of bets placed have been for leave. That must say something about human nature, or the demographic of the leave voter, but I'm not sure what.

So the poll's are moving towards leave yet the bookmakers think the other way :-\

Perhaps some people are confusing the turf accountant with a polling booth. ::) ::) ;)

Last week on Betfair you could have got just under 3/1 for exit, now its just under 2/1.
For remain it was 1/2 and that is unchanged.
In spite of the polls and in spite of the fact that no less than £36,000,000 has been bet on Betfair there seems little correlation between the polls and the betting.

Maybe it's down to the fact that even if we vote out they think the government won't actually see it through and we end up staying anyway.

Remain now 1/4 on average with bookies. Everyone reckons 'stay' is, more or less, a cert. Markets up about 3% this morning on news of the latest polls.

Banks up 6-7%. They really are certain these polls are correct. :-\

If they are so sure its a Stay...Why are the odds not better for leave :-\

In all of the arguments,there seems little mention of the trillions of pounds of debt that this country has......a recent update confirms that in real terms it is 4.8 Trillion pounds, and that equals to £78.000 per person.....umm ::) 5th richest economy in the world...load of old 'dangle berries'.

Only 11 of the 28 EU members are putting money in, Germany No1 and the good old UK No2 ::) and guess who are the biggest takers? Poland and of course Greece!! makes no sense at all,but good ole Dave will convince you that all's well and stick with him and you'll be O.K......words like smell and coffee come to mind ::) It won't be him that's going to be picking up the pieces when it all goes tits up,he'll be like Bliar and Brown....doing the after dinner speech circuits at 5 grand + a pop...W.....RS! the politicians don't give a toss about us...only what's in their back pockets ::)

If the vote result is for staying in will the EU Commissioners then, over a period of time, then bring in a raft of new measures that we have not be informed about. :-\
-
That's trying to make the blind see...think it's called a miracle....but reality will make it happen,but of course by then, we'll be in deeeeep EU doo doo :o but as they say ''I'm all right Jack'' it's the others that won't be ::)
