Donald Trump's US Election win has landed one British punter a £100,000 windfall.
A British businessman had placed a series of THIRTY bets backing Trump to win the race to the White House, with John Mappin backing the businessman ever since he was a 33/1 outsider.
Mr Mappin, from Cornwall, landed the monster payout from William Hill as a result of bets placed on the President-elect winning both the Republican Nomination then the Presidency.
Hill's say they have also paid out £101,750 to a Nottingham betting shop customer who staked £37,000 (in two bets of £22,000 and £15,000) on Trump at odds of 7/4 last week.
William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe told BetOnPolitics.co.uk: "Donald Trump started as a 150/1 no hoper, but was very well backed, albeit in smaller amounts than we accepted for long-time favourite Hillary Clinton.
"This campaign absolutely decimated all previous political betting records and shows what a popular betting subject politics is."
Trump was a 150/1 chance to become President when he announced his candidacy, but only became favourite at 2am GMT on Wednesday - just a couple of hours before Hillary Clinton conceded.
"The US Election statistics reflect almost identically the division of stakes and bets for Brexit," Sharpe added.
"The odds on the day for the two candidates were almost idential to the Remain/Leave odds on EU Ref day. Brexit became favourite for the first time just before 2am on EU Ref night, Trump at just after 2am on polling night."
