A spokesperson for the bookmakers say it is the biggest bet they have seen placed on Donald Trump.

Liam Glynn, BoyleSports spokesperson said “The bet on Tuesday lunchtime is the biggest bet we have seen for Donald Trump in the US Presidential Election and now he is hitting close to a €250K loser in the antepost book.”

He added “It would certainly be the worst political result in a long time for us if Trump manages to win the race. After all we did get it wrong with the Brexit outcome, but somehow we still think, or hope that, Hillary will pull through as the eventual winner of the election.”
