79% Of Scots Backing Yes
79%* of all bets in Scotland on the Independence referendum have been for a ‘yes’ vote, according to Britain’s biggest bookmaker. 100% of William Hill punters in Dundee and Motherwell have backed independence although Edinburgh has a 50/50 split.
In London, 75% of all bets have been for a ‘no’ vote including a hefty £600,000 wager (comprising of one £400,000 wager and one £200,000 wager at odds of 1/4 and 1/6), while Belfast and Cardiff are siding with their non-English counterparts. 83% of all votes in the Welsh capital have been for independence while 75% of all bets in the Northern Irish capital have been for the same outcome.
“If the Scottish punters turn out to the voting booths as they have done to the betting shops, then we could well see a ‘yes’ vote when the referendum takes place in September,” said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.
Scottish Independence betting:
1/8 no; 9/2 yes
