According to the Edinburgh News, £10 million to £12 million have been wagered in the U.K.’s licensed betting parlors, with one brave punter risking £900,000 on a No vote. The gambler’s sentiment runs in favor of independence, though, with about 70% of all bets in favor of a Yes vote.
The newspaper also cites a YouGov exit poll the puts the result at 54% No and 46% Yes, and the president of YouGov told Sky New that he is 99% certain that the vote will be against independence.
The earliest returns are expected at around 2 a.m. local time (9 p.m. ET) in North Lanarkshire, Orkney, East Lothian and Perth and Kinross.
