Irish bookmakers Paddy Power are paying out to customers who backed Hillary Clinton to win the US election, three weeks before Americans go to the polls.

The bookmakers are paying out over £800,000, gambling on Donald Trump’s election campaign being all but finished.

Other bookmakers all make Mrs Clinton the strong favourite.

Ladbrokes currently gives her odds of 2/11, and Mr Trump 4/1.

Betfair makes him even more of an outsider, with odds of 5/1.
