Six bucks and my left nut says that "Remain" wins by a pube. :twocents:
Yeah, I see Remain winning a slight victory as well. Like the Scotland thing, they'll go right to the cliff and then back away.

Odds I have seen make it seem even more to remain. Wouldn't be surprised to see a 10% remain lead in the end since most people on the fence will vote to leave things as they are.

The polls were all equivocal, yet the market is behaving like they know how this thing is going to go.

Sorry to go all spanos on everyone, but I think this crap is rigged. :ohno:

According to BBC, Leave is doing better than expected and Remain areas are not coming out in the numbers that Leave did. That said, estimate is that a side will need about 16.8 million to win and Leave is only leading with only about 725,000 votes at this point

Watching the coverage in BBC. Britain sounds much like America in that it's a very polarized country. Not too many single digit victories by precinct or whatever they call them over there. It's a clear vote one way or the other mostly.

Good site. This vote is going to be tight.


One good thing coming out of this is the Euro plummeting against the Dollar More so than in the past.

So if the Brits vote to leave does their soccer team also withdrawal from the Euro Chamoionships currently going on? You'd think you can't have it both ways...

Are they counting each ballot individually? There is no way it should take this long to count the votes.

They're counting all the ballots by hand (seriously).
