Fairbairn Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Betfair are now paying out on the referendum result being No based on information theyve been given. Seems a bit strange iven recent poll results. Seems a bit strange seeing as no one has actually voted yet! (Well, not the vast majority anyway).

jockodile Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 yeah, and it is an obvious tactic to make people think it is won, prob for some promises of House of Lords gig down the track. don't buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This is not helping with my anxiety!!!! I wouldn't worry. There's no precedent for this referendum, and short of knowing the voting intentions of each one of 4 million people, no-one can predit with real accuracy what the result will be. This seems like some kind of bizarre publicity stunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
