Votes won’t be cast in the US election for another few weeks, but it’s already done and dusted – according to Paddy Power.

The bookie has made the bold decision to pay out to gamblers who bet on Hillary Clinton winning the election.

It will cost a whopping £800,000 – and it could lead to the firm feeling very embarrassed and poor if Donald Trump becomes president.

Recent polls show Clinton holding an 11-point lead over her Republican rival, and Paddy Power is clearly confident in a Democrat win.


Paddy Power, a spokesperson for Paddy Power (geddit?), said: ‘Trump gave it a hell of a shot going from a rank outsider to the Republican candidate but the recent flood of revelations have halted his momentum and his chances now look as patchy as his tan.

‘Recent betting trends have shown one way traffic for Hillary and punters seemed to have called it 100% correct. Despite Trump’s Make America Great Again message appealing to many disillusioned voters, it looks as though America are going to put a woman in the White House.’



Trump’s odds were as short as 13/8 in May, though he is currently priced at 9/2 by Paddy Power – giving him an 18.2% chance of winning.

The brash move comes after pundits backed Hillary en masse in the last week, despite her low-reward odds of 2/11, Paddy Power said.

The bookie previously paid out $700,000 (£440,000 at the time) on Barack Obama winning the 2012 election two days before the vote.
