The odds on a successful Yes vote have tumbled from 4-5 to 1-6 with PaddyPower and today's agreement by EU leaders to provide the legal guaranteesbeing sought by the Irish Government is sure to see these odds shortenfurther.
The Lisbon referendum re-run is sure to bring back painful memories forPaddy Power who famously paid out EUR80,000 to punters who backed a Yes voteon polling day at last year's original referendum. Much to the bookies dismaythe No vote was successful and triggered a further EUR100,000 payout for theblushing bookie.
Communications Manager for Paddy Power, Ken Robertson, said "It's notoften that we get things wrong, but when we do, we generally do so inspectacular style! After last years debacle we're already faced with apotential payout of almost EUR100,000 should the Yes vote get carried andthis figure is certain to mushroom the closer we get to polling day inIreland."
Will the Lisbon Treaty be passed second time around?
1/6 Yes
7/2 No
