Scotland now 3/1 to head to the polls once again in the next 2 years to vote for independence from UK
Betting specials are now offered on UK politics with a look at the Scottish Independence Referendum and the latest odds go 3/1 that Scotland heads back to the polls once again.
Scotland last went to vote on Scottish Independence from the United Kingdom back in September 2014 with an 84.5% total turnout and the majority voted No.
It's unclear which way Scotland would vote if another referendum was pencilled in but the latest odds now sit at 3/1 that Scotland will vote on Independence at some point before 2027.
Those odds suggest a 25% probability that Scotland will once again head to the polls to vote on independence in the next two years but there are no signs of it happening under the current government.
Previous First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had been pushing for another referendum but since she left all talk has died down around a vote once again.
Odds given on which way the independence vote will go with both sides 5/6
Bookies also give odds on how Scotland would vote if they did go to the polls once again in an independence referendum with both Yes and No the same odds in the market.
Paddy Power's latest market makes both For and Against 5/6 with no real favourite as to which way Scotland would vote at the polls for another referendum.
The probability given for both sides sits at 54.5% with bookmakers unable to split which side the country would vote for if it returned to the polls.
