    Well I know we only have to wait another few hours but for anyone interested:

    I have been checking bookies and certain websites like betfair for the evening. The way the direction of the odds have changed all night especially on betfair I believe there has been info gathered from exit polls that caused this

    As i write this the best offer you can get to bet on yes is now down to 1/7!!! You only ever see these kind of low odds on that website when something has practically wrapped up and finished and the outcome is too predictable for any decent odds. A bit like the odds were for Obama in the last week or so of the nomination process.

    For people not interested in gambling I really wouldnt underestimate the accuracy of these odds, for everything, sports, entertainment and politics.

    Interesting... have there been any exit polls published yet? I certainly wouldn't at all underestimate the bookies, they do make such assessments their livelihood.
