Heavy Betting Action on Christoph Von Schonborn as Next Pope Says Sportsbook

While Angelo Scola has been made the new 2/1 favorite to be named next Pope at Sportsbook.com, the popular online gambling company has also reported that Christoph Von Schonborn is suddenly receiving substantial betting action.

“The folks from Sportsbook.com will certainly be keeping a close eye on any unusual betting patterns,” noted Gambling911.com Senior Reporter Carrie Stroup who also doubles as a representative for the Sportsbook website.

Should a sudden surge in wagers begin flowing in from Vatican City, Sportsbook.com will likely pull odds on who will become the next Pope.

Schönborn, who currently serves as the Archbishop of Vienna in Austria, is seen as a leading candidate for the papacy because he is conservative, albeit a "balanced reformer" who is well liked by all factions of the church and noted for his tolerant views.  He was listed at 10/1 odds.
