The same-sex marriage referendum debate

That ignore function is great.

Do we have one now?

As in, over / under 56.5% for a Yes vote??

For me, that'd be a banker for over - I'd expect it to come in at between 60 & 65.

Would you give me and Seanie 62.5?

Bookies have the over/under at 59.5 and I reckon the under is a nap. Think Yes will win but it will be tight.

How much did you put on it Seanie??!! Its into 56.5

Is it? I checked with a guy yesterday and he said it was 59.5. Crap - meant to do it last night. No money on.

Couple of guys I know went big on it when it was out at 60.5 and took a shot at an overall no at big enough odds. They're in guaranteed win territory now I think.

Aye, on PP anyway. Its a little bizarre, I had checked during the week and the No was at 3/1, and going by yourself, the %age was 59.5. Now the %age is 56.5, but the No odds have increased to 5/1.

So they think it will be tighter than they had previously thought, but have become more confident of a yes vote. Seems a little contradictory.

Its an over/under - evens either way...

It seems to me that the vast majority of people will fall in between the two camps, and I think a significant number who would vote yes if it came down to it, won't bother to vote because they don't care enough about it. The conservative camp is still probably bigger than the gay camp too. Although much less craic I'd say.

I'd agree with this.

62.5 would surely fall under the "Alt spread" category??!!

[haranguerer]

Alt spread? I think I'm out of my depth...

Just hand over the money and if you have any winnings, I'll post them out to you

So where is your evidence, oh that's right just make ridiculous statements and don't back them up, the YES camp is lucky to have you with them - please don't reply to me again unless you are posting evidence or apologising,

Here is what you said:

Any of you boys on here going to be getting married this year if the Yes vote wins?

This is you backing it up:

Why do you think it is wrong for the gays on this board to avail of marriage in the light of a yes vote?

Here you are linking being gay to voting YES:

Any of you boys on here going to be getting married this year if the Yes vote wins?

And there it is.

Do you think they won't, after all the arguments for a yes vote?

And here is more of it which puts your above comments in context:

Most of this board probably on looking for a man.

And this earlier post sums it up:

Homosexuality is now actively promoted in society, it appears cool to be gay (and yes it is a choice, I know someone who is gay who when they came out turned camp as any stereotypical homosexual) I say again to all the people campaigning for gay rights you would shit a kitten if your son / daughter told you they were gay - no matter what crap you are going to spout here, a man indulging in sexual gratification with another man is not a normal (and I am just using men here as it appears to be all men here), yes people have human rights, they should be able to get married and have all legal right for financial security that brings, but for two men to adopt a child is tantamount to child abuse in my opinion.

Can a man split his vote tomorrow? I'd like to Vote Yes for Lesbians but No for Males. Is this an option does anyone know.

Muppet suits you - so will gays vote NO?

Again is that not homophobic, it is ok for the yes side to make cheap jokes about male gays but people with genuine concerns about two men being allowed to adopt a child is berated on this hypocrisy board.

I'd not on the yes side, if you read my post I'm in both camps, Yes and No. Does that make me Bi?
