Cowell is turning it into a new reality show.
We don't have all the runners yet but Ann Widdecombe is favourite on the highstreet. |

Would be very funny if the new one was Pope Sicola
|

Betfair: "Thanks for the suggestion, however we will not consider offering markets until the pope officially stands down at the end of the month."
|
|
By:
they hope to have the new pope in by Easter
|
|
By:
Wonder why Betfair decides to wait, whats the point?
Guessing it will that nice looking fellow Bertone... You know "Peter the Roman". |

i suppose, like sir alex ferguson, somebody may persuade the pope to carry on.
then we would have a meerkat where people are waiting for somebody to die to facilitate payment, which would be somewhat tasteless. |
|
By:
Well it would be simple to put a time limit in the rules e.g. bets void if no new pope by the end of June, or something. But I am finding more and more that there is no sense in any of Betfair's recent behaviour regarding the set up of markets, or anything else for that matter.

By:
Exactly just have a simple time stipulation. Anywho whatever, taken my business elsewhere on this one.
|

By:
The Irish firm have no shame. Just noticed this:
If the cardinals elect the First Black Pope, we will refund all losing bets on the Next Pope market. |
|
By:
PP also have Richard Dawkins listed at 666/1
|
|
By:
Widdecombe quoted?
|
|
By:
Cardinal Keith O'Brien now a non-runner apparently.
|
|
By:
Market up. 1/5 odds a place 1,2,3 anyone?
|
|
By:
my candidate is not in the list, they should put more names, I guess the election will be a huge surprise, with the winner paying more than 100
 |
|
By:
I'll lay you at least 1000/20 anyone you get Betfair to put on the list, oooyes.
|
|
By:
I asked betfair to put Hong Kong Cardinal John Tong Hon, but until now nothing.
Also Im wondering if they are going to open other markets like papal name and nationality |
|
By:
Good call re Papal name and nationality - particularly the latter.
Lot of media chatter about an African or Latin American winner but I see a conservative/reactive electorate with a massively strong European block-vote so I'd be very surprised to see a non-European elected - think the Europeans will support one candidate after a bit of horse trading. |

By:
It's a good time to suggest additions. The blue book is about to dip below 100%. This suggests one of two things, either the winner is not listed or, horror on horrors, layers are getting carried away........ but that's never happened before has it?
