The most recent polls are really split. I don't think there's any point speculating any more, we'll just have to cast our ballots and wait.

All the signs suggest we will be voting for brexit in a few days time. Which is, imo, is very upsetting.

Not ALL the signs:

Bookies odds are shortening significantly for Remain

You don't seem to understand how gambling works

I only glanced at the odds but they looked heavily in favour of remain. However going by my readouts the odds against leave have halved. If you bet earlier on that you would have gotten pretty good odds for your money. It's much like dealing in shares in that respect or ebay and sniping but sometimes reversed. If you can respond to the news or get the news faster than the bookmakers you can beat them on the odds. You can also manipulate the news. Say remain in the polls but then later bet on leave. The odds slightly adjust to how much is dumped on them but it's not actually fully proportional like traditional betting was before fixed odds and you can also spread it across multiple vendors to reduce the response (although usually people just migrate to whichever has the highest odds, dump on that one, it'll go down, migrate to the next highest, etc).
