Donald Trump’s shocking victory has cost the bookmaker nearly $5 million.
CNBC reports that in October, Paddy Power paid out £800,000 ($992,528) in bets place on Clinton after a series of negative news stories threatened to derail Donald Trump's campaign.
As Trump’s poll numbers continued to collapse, the bookmaker referred to Clinton as a “nailed-on certainty to occupy the Oval Office.”
“Should Trump upset the odds and become 45th President,” Paddy Power announced at the time, “it will trigger the biggest political payout in bookmaking history and leave Paddy Power with some very expensive pie on its face.”

The Irish Times is eating crow, too. The paper put Hillary on a pedestal for two years, doing all of the same stuff as the U.S. MSM to Trump.
It makes me wonder how much $$ Soros gave the newspaper to continually endorse Hillary.
That's gotta hurt, in more ways than one.
Being a dumbass is usually very expensive,
At least owned up to their mistake- no sugar coating it
