Donald Trump won 91 per cent of bets on who will win the presidential election over at the start of the week in another indicator of his growing popularity.

The Republican candidate's odds at becoming president improved from 5/1 last week to 9/4 on Wednesday, according to Irish bookmaker Paddy Power.

Only nine per cent of bets placed on the election on Monday and Tuesday in the UK and Ireland, where election betting is legal unlike in the US, cast Hillary Clinton as the winner.

Only last week the betting company was so sure she would win that it paid out more than $1million on her winning.

It is the latest blow to her once invincible campaign and comes after the FBI's revival its probe into her use of emails while she was Secretary of State.
