As America starts to vote, Hillary Clinton remains the bookmakers' favourite to win the US Presidential Election, but polls suggest the race to the White House remains tight in a number of states across the country.
The United States goes to the polls today (Tuesday) and at time of writing, bookmakers bet365 make Democratic Party nominee Ms Clinton the 2/9 favourite in their Next US President betting market.
Republican Party nominee Donald Trump can be backed at 7/2 with the same firm at time of writing.
As recently as last week, polls had suggested Trump's treatment of women and reluctance of accepting the result of the upcoming election had given his rival a double-digit lead.
A number of polls last week suggested the gap was closing in a number of states, while bookmakers had reported strong support for Trump following the recent bombshell that the FBI had launched a new investigation into Ms Clinton's email use.
However, 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."
