Rubio isn't actually popular in Florida.  Your point seems to be pick him because he can help Trump win the state but if you paid attention to the coverage of the candidates during their time there, Marco had trouble garnering enough enthusiasm to get packed crowds at his events.  Therefore, I'd suggest Rubio would be an extremely poor choice as VP.

I think the logical choice is palin. She is built to go toe to toe with Hillary and it takes the trump sexism it of the equation because it's a woman attacking a woman.

Plus palin energized the emotional GOP base in the past so you take the trump emotion and combine it with the palin emotion and you got yourself perfect emotional storm and momentum to win it all

They have odds for entertainment purposes only. Can't bet into these lines in Vegas. 

Maybe next election cycle though. You can now bet on events that are voted on such as Heisman, Cy Young, Baseball MVP, Super Bowl MVP.

I did not know that.  I thought they only booked actual sporting events settled on a playing field.

Kasich +242

Another good Swing-State, Ohio.

And the current polls are pretty close in Ohio (HRC by 3 points) - surprisingly, closer than NC where Civitas (a Republican poll!) has HRC up by 9 points.

It's only changed recently. This is the first Super Bowl, that I can remember, that Vegas took action on MVP. Same with the Heisman trophy. I know you can currently place wagers on Cy Young and Baseball MVP at certain books. 

I haven't heard anything on legalizing election wagering but since books are taking action on other events that are voted on, I could see this being the last election that books don't take action on. That's just my opinion though.

Newt Gingrich, currently he is the top VP candidate for Donald Trump, according to CNN Pivit. Gingrich 31%, tops second place Chris Christie at 9%.

I virtually never watch candidates debate, but Kaine/Gingrich is far more appealing than HRC/Trump.

Marco Rubio knows more about the mideast than any other VP candidate,would be very valuable.

EBO also has Kaine and Gingrich favored.  It shows Warren gaining in probability.

I really like Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown, but the Democrats cannot afford to lose those Senate seats.  Republican governors would name their replacements.

He has his faults (who doesn't) but Gingrich knows more about policy and issues than anyone currently running or being talked about for VP on either side. Like him or hate him, the man is brilliant when it comes to knowing issues and being able to clearly express them. The left will go after him on extra marital affairs which is hilarious since they still love Bill Clinton. But from a policy standpoint and helping Trump navigate the political mind field, he'd be a good choice. He wouldn't give him an advantage in any of the battleground states though like possibly Kasich in Ohio would.

Stay disciplined and manage your bankroll

You were right about trump

I am now inclined to agree with you that field at +500 looks good when you see that list of losers.  But I'm not sure the GOP has been able to roll out anything resembling president material in a long time so who knows

Good luck to the Gingrich bettors, but FYI:  all five panelists on a recent McLaughlin Group said he would not be chosen.

Newt Gingrich's odds of being the Republican VP Nominee has dropped sharply to +130, he is the most likely GOP VP candidate according to the book.

Guess what, Susana Martinez is Republican VP Nominee +2500 could there be any slight possibility that it hits?

That is a juicy price for a popular governor who MIGHT (and I have no opinion on how likely that is) help draw some votes from a group that Trump has viciously scapegoated.
 
I do not think he would offer it and she might just turn him down.  Accepting it would harm her standing in her state, and he will probably lose anyway.
