Scottish devolution - money to be made?

Property in the North of England might firm up, and especially close to the border. Businesses & individuals operating in the central belt will look to move to the likes of Newcastle or Carlisle to mitigate risks if they can still serve their customer base in Scotland.

Values in transport related businesses north England/South Scotland may also increase.

If you think the yes party are going to win then bet on betfair as people have said. Too many other factors in FX, and the slide in GBP is not just due to the referendum.

Just checked the odds - you can get 3.05 (i.e. bet £100 win £205/get £305 back).

If you bet on one outcome then thats all your winnings though, the point of trading the FX is that you can take advantage of the ebbs and flows of the outcome. IE you can change your position throughout as results are released or whatever. Also if things move against you then you can mitigate losses.

Do that on betfair's exchange.

That would put a large chunk of their cost base in sterling and their revenue in new Scottish groats, Euros or whatever currency they adopt. More risk, more cost.
