So it wasn't just Cameron, Miliband and Clegg who were crapping their pants when the YES vote started moving northwards in the polls?

I wonder if he's slipped Gordon Brown a few bob as a thank you?

I don't know about madmick, but I am a far superior gambler than the gentleman in the article. I made over £40,000 using the relatively small stake of £10,000. I also guaranteed myself this profit regardless of the outcome of the vote.

Anyway you look at it, I could teach him a lot.

I'd say his thought process was clearer than Micks.

Just a minor factual point. Mick's bet  (sic) claimed that he had laid off a price of 1/20 on for a NO vote. At no time EVER were the odds on a NO vote remotely as tight as that. The tightest odds I ever saw were 1/6.

So, in addition to believe us to be thick enough to think that a made out slip is actually a bet, he also thinks we are thick enough to think that anyone would be thick enough to take a bet at odds 250% worse than they could have got at any other bookies.

Strange case, that one is. I'm sure he makes sense to himself...

He knows no-one believes a word he says, doesn't he?
