Clinton has been favourite to win the US Election for some time, and just days after saying betting support for the 69-year-old had "virtually dried up" since last week - when the FBI found new emails that it was thought be related to its investigation into her use of a private email server when she was secretary of state - bookmaker William Hill on Sunday reported a "big money gamble" for her to win the race to the White House.
Sunday night saw the FBI once again exonerate Clinton of criminal conduct on her emails, leading to her odds shortening yet again ahead of the final day of election campaigning.
Following confirmation from the FBI that they found no evidence of criminality in Clinton's emails, her odds of becoming President were rapidly cut from 1/4 (representing a 80% chance of winning the election) to 1/5 (83% chance) by William Hill.
The development saw William Hill lengthen Trump's odds from 11/4 to 10/3, representing a 23% chance of winning the race to the White House.
Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe told BetOnPolitics.co.uk: "The news has sparked a run of bets for Hillary, so we have taken rapid evasive action in case the heavy hitters come in to place more five and six figure bets like the ones we already have for her to win, which include bets of €550,000; £183,200; £50,000 and a couple of £30,000 wagers."
On Sunday, Hill's had said a £50,000 bet on Clinton to be the next President of the United States was the latest five-figure bet placed on the US Election.
The bet was struck in a William Hill betting shop in London and prompted Hills to shorten Clinton's odds before the news that the FBI had cleared Clinton broke.
"The campaign has already smashed all previous Election betting records and will end up the biggest betting turnover for any political event with £20million riding on the outcome industry-wide," Sharpe told us on Sunday.
"We have already seen massive bets for Hillary Clinton – one female client has the largest election bet ever of €550,000 riding on her, another has staked £183,200 on her and at the start of the weekend we took two £30,000 bets for her.
"Two Moscow-based clients have staked five figure bets on her. A Liverpool customer will collect £49,594 should Hillary win."
British bookmaker Ladbrokes had said on Saturday that punters were "regaining confidence" in Clinton to enter the White House, making her 1/3 and pushing Trump out to 9/4 (from 15/8).
Ladbrokes spokesperson Jessica Bridge told BetOnPolitics.co.uk: "The way the money was coming in for Trump could well have seen him become favourite by Tuesday, but it's starting to slow up and move heavily back towards Clinton sealing the deal."
