Arent the odds based on their potential loss?
I think you'll find it is 14
Depends on how many posts per page you have set.
Major power cut here polling station will be all dark! Luckily no electronic voting system, just pencil and paper.
There was REMAIN lady at the front entrance, not sure why, she can't do anything, I've only seen 1 Exit sign in our village, but we are a bit in the sticks here and like our cheap French wines

Odds are like any market, fueled by speculation. They start off as an fairly accurate estimate but after that are determined almost absolutely by the bets being made. If loads of people bet big on remain the odds will shorten regardless of whether those people have some kind of inside knowledge or are just big gamblers betting on an ill-founded hunch.
Bookmakers aren't pollsters, they don't care about accuracy, they care about what odds gives them the highest chance of a profit.
I corrected your post as it was slightly slandered.

I don't know? It seems the way the bookies are saying remain have a 85% chance of winning makes no sense to me if they are taking more bets on leave. Surely something is massively skewed?
Everyone is betting remain, even the leavers!
But there not, Ladbrokes said that had received 60% of bets on leave, both yesterday and the day before!
You sure??

Voted leave based on the fact we gave them the Full English breakfast and they gave us croissants and cold meats in return.

Went this morning and had a slight moment when I thought I'd crossed the wrong box! There was a steady trickle of people going through, which is a damn sight more than I normally see when going to vote.
I live out in the 'shires, so there's rather more of a Leave vibe in my opinion. However, while out on delivery I've seen more remain posters in windows over the last couple of days, though always belonging to what you might call middle class, professional types.

Not really.
UK becoming more totalitarian e.g Snoopers Charter. The ECJ will strike it down as illegal. So more democracy!
No
In your obviously wrong opinion.

God I hate brexiters
Constantly seeing all over my facebook "voted but wont make a difference it will be fixed". When I question "if leave win will it be fixed then"
"no"
I mean come on. I voted stay but if leave win then that's that. I wont be blaming the result on crosses being rubbed out or ballots ripped apart.
