Trump in Slump but Odds Still Not Crossing Over 4-1 Mark - Despite media reports suggesting GOP nominee Donald Trump's campaign is to be the next US President is unraveling, oddsmakers are not yet ready to pull the trigger on the 4-1 mark or longer with the odds.  A move beyond this mark would be the longest odds seen on Trump of becoming the next US President in more than eight months.

Even Oddsmakers Caught Off Guard With Possible Charlie Crist Selection for Clinton VP – The Twitterverse lit up with news that presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will be announcing her VP pick this Friday in Florida and, on her short list, is none other than Florida's one time Governor and former Republican Charlie Crist. Could it be true? "Not that I'm aware of," Crist told The Buzz, laughing. "I don't know where it's coming from, to be honest."  Stranger things have happened.  Oddsmakers have nothing up on Crist for the record.

The current oddsmaker average had Clinton at 1-3 odds and Trump at 3-1.  We were seeing a slight market shift for Trump at a handful of betting exchanges where he was listed at 7-2 odds.  These odds would pay a dollar more than the average.

2016 US Presidential Swing State Betting Odds – Clinton vs. Trump - You can now wager on which party and/or candidate for the 2016 US Presidential race will win a handful of so-called swing states.  Swing states are those that can go either Democrat or Republic in the general Presidential election.  They are often referred to us purple states being that the Republican party is represented by the color red and the Democratic party is represented by the color blue (to combine and make purple).
