Brexit and the bookies´game

The British bookmakers are witnessing a switch in the bets towards the Brexit. In the last two days, over 70% of the new bets were placed on Britain leaving the EU. This is the new trend. Up to now, most of the game was about smart money going to Remain. That´s changing. But it is also true that there is still a good number of voters that say they are undecided when they answer to polls on the referendum. They represent about 11% of those surveyed. They will make the difference. The campaigns are targeting them as well as those who might feel lazy on the polling day and therefore decide to stay home. All in all, at this stage the risk of a Brexit is real. And Brussels is now getting very nervous about it. Including the British officials employed in the EU institutions.
