    Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen

    Still time to make the referendum interesting. My choice bets are:

    Yes to win: 21/5 - must be worth a go.
    Yes vote > 60%: 16/1 - for unix
    Turnout 80 to 85%: 2/1
    Independent Scotland's credit rating
    Scotland to be an independent member of the EU by 2020: 9/1 - looks like the bookies don't see EU membership as a foregone conclusion

    All available at: Scottish Independence Betting Markets | Entertainment Betting | Oddschecker

    Feel free to declare any bets you have, and remember:

    'Tis better to win £125 at the bookies than to see thy country remain whole.
    Go YES!

    Go YES!

    Not a gambler - 21/5 - does that mean if I stick £5 on, I get £21 back? Do I get back my original fiver too?

      Says 19/5 now. Still, I suppose you still lose the same amount...

        Yes to both.

          ClientCo's firewall doesn't approve of gambling.

          Might chuck a few quid on tonight for the laffs.

            What are the odds on an exact 50-50 split? It's looking increasingly likely…

              we need a thread for the closest prediction. Winner takes home a deep fried mars bar.

              Flashmans prediction.

              Of the votes cast...

              No. 56%
              Yes. 44%

              The quiet majority wins...

                It cannot be more than 50% likely.

                  Its going to be no - the only question is the margin.

                    I agree with this.
                    I'd go for a 52% No 48% Yes

                    And Alex Salmond will blame it all on Westminster Politicians.
