I can't think of anyone's opinion I value less than Russell Brand's.

Basically this.

Russell Brand is alright for a few minutes. Maybe a youtube video or two of him debating about stuff, after his womanising alcoholic stage anyway.

But really, he has very little that is interesting. Him going through Cameroons speech and badly making fun of each point in turn is a bit crap really.

Mockney is far more interesting, and dare I say it better looking too.
 
Thats crazy, Might as well go to bed then, there is NO chance (get it?)

That seems so high. Why.

Actually since I posted that it changed to 8.6.

No idea why but Betfair isn't usually far off.

Edit: nevermind, thought you were referring to the odds
 
Pretty sure Betfair financially back the Tory party. Not that that'll be what's swaying them to have No as favourites (I don't understand odds like that, use 5/1 etc ya bastards!). The bookies' odds will surely be reflected by what people are backing. If I was betting myself I'd say No will win it. I feel like it'll be a comfortable victory for them, sadly.
 
Looking at Paddy Power, they were giving 1-4 for yea for ages, it moved out (slightly) to 2-5 after the second TV debate and this week it moved back to 1-4. Except today when it moved out to 1-5 this morning and just checked now and its 1-8, so they are darned confident.

We wasted the oil money in the 80s, I doubt there's much left anyway.

Not sure about that. Advances in technology mean that oil fields that were previously uneconomic, in terms of dredging the remains out, are now worth tapping. It's not going to last forever clearly, agree with that.

I have no access to much data and I have no idea which pollsters are more reliable (if you do know, please share) , so just speculating here

The last 4 polls done past couple of days (doesn't include YouGov's) :

Average of 3.75 points in favor of "No"
Average "Undecided" : 8 points , markedly affected by ICM 14%.
If we exclude ICM's , then the average " Undecided" is 6 points ( and 3.75 becomes 3.67, not much difference)

The point is the undecided voters are more of risk averse than being risk takers, so I'm expecting the majority of them will vote "No".

My prediction: 54% will vote No. 46% Yes. +/- 1 percentage point.

We did waste the money on the military and other stuff the tory government was doing at the time.

I'm pretty sure Betfair don't set their own odds, no? The odds are set by its users, unlike most betting sites.
 
As expected, it'll be a comfortable No win.

I just pray we don't sing Flower of Scotland before we play England in a few months. It'll be the ultimate embarrassment.
 
Despite the recent YouGov Poll, I'm definitely not feeling overly confident about the No Vote succeeding just yet.

However, a part of me wants to see what would happen if Yes won... Almost a sort of morbid curiosity.

Dickheads, if we promise them a fried mars bar after they've done counting we could have a result by 23:00.

Unofficially we're talking 5-6 am. That's when the largest areas report so there should be a good indication of the winner then.
