The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

[AndrewT]

0/382 declared.

I thought this was just a straight up Voted Remain % vs Voted Leave % of total votes?

It is.  What is your point?

The way is says Leave 0 Remain 0 0/382 declared suggests it's gonna be out of 382. Will those 0s just become %s?

No it's just one big poll (15 million remain vs 14 million leave or whatever) - they just announce it in 382 chunks

[AndrewT]

This is fascinating.

Price of remain is shortening right up on Betfair, but on the spreads, remain % mid point has fallen by over 2 points.

Betfair catching up.

Would have thought it was the other way round, but no. Spreads leading the way for once.

City boys more likely to play on the spreads? Betfair punters more likely to be guys sat at home watching the TV?

£65m done on the exchange.  Don't think thats guys sitting at home watching the tv given bf has a sportsbook nowadays to take all the mug money.  Wish they would turn over £65k on a dog race on the exchange never mind £65m nowadays.  The sportsbook has generally killed exchange turnover.

Good toss to win. Time for the other side to bat

[The Camel]

Spreads now moving towards remain again.

Last chance to buy money at 1.12 I think.

[The Camel]

Jesus, just gone 2/9, 9/2.

[AndrewT]

I think that's reacting to a predicted narrow victory for Remain in Newcastle, when ite might have expected to be a bit more (university town, lots of young people)

Ashdown, eat your hat or get off TV, a man who doesnt honour his bets. Wouldnt be surprised if NE votes are way moreleave than people predict, seems to be alot of people in alot of convos want out. UKIP was very popular in message at the GE, just people make sure labour get seats up here.

Ah yeah, they probably are. Even though, Newcastle was expected to be more remain than Sunderland.

Leave now 4.3 on betfair

Newcastle/Sunderland very white working class?

Trying to work out which sweat thread I'm enjoying more between this and Tikay's.

[The Camel]

Labour have lost their supporters.

Only way remain wins now is if Tory heartland backs the party line by a bigger margin than expected.
