No Divine Intervention: Pope Bets May be Lost at Shuttered Intrade
With the abrupt closure of Dublin-based Intrade.com on Monday, there is increasing doubt that customers will see their monies returned and, it would appear, all those Pope bets will go up in smoke just like that smoke signal that will determine when the new Pope is selected.
Angelo Scola Favorite to be Named Next Pope
We’ll know when the smoke signal rises but for now Angelo Scola of Italy was the stand alone favorite to be named next Pope at Paddy Power.
Scola was coming in at 2/1 odds.
For some time, Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana had been favored along with Scola but his odds have gotten longer at 4/1.
Tarcisio Bertone was at 5/1 while Cardinal Odilo Scherer of Brazil was new to the front runners at 7/1 odds.
