thplinth Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 In case it was not posted. "The IndyRef yes campaign is gathering steam, with the latest polls putting the rival camps neck and neck. But bookmakers have other ideas, setting the odds of no at 2/5. How come?" http://www.theguardian.com/politics/shortcuts/2014/sep/09/scottish-independence-bookies-yes-campaign-indyref-no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariokempes56 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Weird in 5 days gone from 4 to 9 ? its just nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) This struck me as one of the worst bets I have ever seen. Risking 400 grand for 100 grand on what amounts to a coin toss (at this stage). Mental case. The odds at the bookies are weird. edit oops forgot the link http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jun/10/scottish-independence-referendum-bet-no-vote Edited September 12, 2014 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euan2020 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 anyone thinking of lumping on for >55% yes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I was quite literally looking at that 5 minutes ago. Still 9/1, im so tempted to stick a grand on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokempes56 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I was quite literally looking at that 5 minutes ago. Still 9/1, im so tempted to stick a grand on. I tried last night.

euan2020 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I was quite literally looking at that 5 minutes ago. Still 9/1, im so tempted to stick a grand on. I never bet unless i feel i have superior information than my opponent (personal bets) never put a bet on in bookies in my life - but might fancy a flutter with £100 polls seem a total divergence from what see and hear (although aberdonians are greedy feckers and folk i know are voting no) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euan2020 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Bet365 seem to be giving 100% bonus for new accounts up to max of £200 ie could put in £50 to bet £100 (i think unless there are sneaky conditions on withdrawal of winngs ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariokempes56 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I tried 1k. Didn't allow so there was a Max stake button an it showed as 111.11 ? No idea why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Finally got £200 on it, wouldnt accept any more than that. Placed the max of £111.11, then placed £88.89 via a trader, which they accepted, then tried again, but was knocked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA Torr Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 http://www.oddschecker.com/politics/british-politics/scottish-independence/referendum-outcome Odds on yes drifting?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokempes56 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 They are insane at the moment. Drifting towards 4/1 but evens for 48% plus ? I dont really follow, not that it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld_Reekie Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I presume the drifting is a reflection of some people to lump on No after BetFair started paying out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BremnerLorimerGray Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's changing all the time. I'm still sticking bets on 55% Yes. It's been moving from 7's to 9's constantly for the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Just stuck a fair wedge on Yes > 60% at 12-1 with Ladbrokes. Absolutely confident in at least a 65% Yes vote. Edited September 17, 2014 by redstevie007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgowmancity Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Just stuck a fair wedge on Yes > 60% at 12-1 with Ladbrokes. Absolutely confident in at least a 65% Yes vote. I would have said the 55%+ was far better value tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
