You can bet on whether Donald Trump picks Curt Schilling as his VP

Recently-fired ESPN baseball analyst Curt Schilling is currently in the middle of a job search. While it seems like he's found a temporary solution that keeps him in the sports realm, what if he wanted to get into politics? Given his propensity to share strong political memes on Facebook, maybe a White House run with Donald Trump is in the works?

It seems insane, but it's actually a thing you can wager on. The oddsmakers over at sportsbettingdime.com have released their updated MLB props, and they at least think there's a chance Trump chooses Curt Schilling as his Vice President. It's not a good chance, 12,000/1 to be exact, but, hey, it's better than nothing.

What's the likelihood it actually happens? Let's take a look:

In fairness, Schilling is getting much better odds than one in a million. Maybe he should be more excited than Lloyd Christmas is in the above clip.

Clearly, it's a long shot. And even if Trump actually picked Schilling, despite the fact that Schilling has no political experience, the former pitcher would still have to accept the nomination. While he's quick to share a meme or express his political opinion online, we have no idea if Schilling would ever seriously consider politics as a job.

We probably won't have to worry about it since it's not going to happen. But if you love long shots, and have some extra cash to spend, this could be the opportunity for you.

Trump getting the Republican nomination probably received terrible odds just a few years ago, and look how that turned out. Maybe Schilling will follow the same path.
