I've think the whole referendum was a big waste of money and energy.

cheers - think it may oscillate between 8 and 9ish for the next few hours (until the curtain call at 02:00-03:00) - can't be buggered waiting around tho to test that theory :). that said, i think some good action in lead up to final announcements, if no conclusive swing before

sure is, tho looks like the tide might be turning back again (despite the shortening remain odds). some results for remain piling in now (tho of course, it's all a charade on betfair and will be smoke and mirrors til the final call !!)

if i knew then (an hour ago), what i know now... that said, lets watch it climb all the way back to plus 10 in a blink. a LOT of big trades riding on this and only takes 2-3 affirmative results (one way or t'other) at any given point to consolidate the swing either way (think sunderland will be seeking independence soon) :)

yeah, i've got the school run tmro at 8:00am but am kinda pulled in here too (especially as i doubled up on a remain trade at 1.25 :)). did not in 1m years see the leave side breaching 7-8 if i'm honest and time may tell if it's all just bluff anyway, but great for trading, even if other worldly commitments are calling.. still giggling (don't know why) at sunderlands gung-ho

surely with all the money you must be making, you can afford to get a handyman to pop a tissue dispenser on the side of the bed, next to the holly willoughby shrine :)
