#316 - I should have bet on it

I confess that I was tempted to bet on the Scottish independence referendum yesterday. I wanted to bet a beer, a dinner, money, something. But then I didn’t do it, and not because I was afraid of losing: the truth is that I didn’t feel like being right (yes, I know, I really am made in my way), and then I wouldn’t have collected the winnings.
What I didn’t feel like doing instead was writing a post about it, which wouldn’t have hurt anyone.
The fact is that yesterday I thought the no’s would win by a small margin (I had 52/53% in mind).
I was wrong about the percentage, but not the result: the no votes won 55.30%.
Why did I think that? Intuition, I could give a thousand rational reasons, but in the end, my instinct told me so.
I always tell myself, and more and more often, I do, that I have to trust my intuition.
