    The more interesting question to me is who bets on a referendum? It seems infinitely less fun than betting on a sporting event or other game.

    My friends dad makes a nice bit of money putting up stupid odds on popular tv shows where people bet on those they really like/dislike so it's a very exploitable market.

    Or it is until betfair start taking much bigger cuts of your money.

    Ya betting on who lasts longer on Big Brother or whatever. Jesus Christ.

    Sounds like your friend's dad found a good racket though. Those people must be fucking morons.

    It's one of the few gambling stories I've been told where I've actually thought yeah that sounds like a legit clever way to make money. We're probably talking a couple hundred quid over the course of a series though, nothing special but a nice bit of spending money.

    People who might want to mitigate losses as a result of us staying/leaving, or people who think they know something that others don't? idk, I'm guessing.

    I had no interest in betting on it. I was only interested in the odds from a polling pov.

    Those were my guesses too, along with pathological gamblers who bet on everything under the sun.
