Bet £4.00 to win £1.00.
This means, that those very astute Bookies - whose very business relies on sound 'insider information' are saying that a 'Remain' victory is 'in the bag'. |
Ashleigh was 8/15 on vs manky Helen Wood at 6/1 (on the night) and 16/1 24h before the final.
We do get it wrong sometimes, unfortunately... plus there's not a huge market for politics betting (and usually pretty strict stake limits, due to as you say, insider info) so the bookies don't make a big loss either way, it's considered "novelty betting", along the same lines as "What colour of hat will the Queen wear to Ascot" (a real bet btw
)
