A first time William Hill customer in Nottingham has placed £37,000 on Donald Trump to become the next President of the United States.
The unknown gambler initially put £15,000 on the Republican candidate to win at odds of 7/4 and then returned shortly after to place another bet of £22,000 at the same odds.
The bets were placed shortly before William Hill slashed the odds to 13/8 for a Trump win.
