Paddy Power is £4.5m out of pocket after Donald Trump’s unlikely victory in the US Presidential Race makes it the biggest non-sporting gambling event in UK history.

There was a reason I quit gambling.

I would make stupid bets like placing a £5 treble that Leicester City would win the English Premier League, the UK would vote to leave the European Union (EU), and the next US President would be Donald Trump.

My viewpoint was always, “it’s got to be worth a fiver, right?”
