    who else lost money betting on the next pope?

    thought that African guy was a lock to win. Wasn't even aware that Argentinians were Catholics.

    Youre kidding right? Catholics are everywhere. Plus this guy is Italian who was born in Argentina.

    Any idea how high? 5Dimes had about 5 guys around 10-1 or less, and the others seemed at 20-1 and up.

    Why was the winner a long shot if he finished 2nd the last time?

    Yeah if we had known a cardinal had written in his private journal that Francis was 2nd last time and he was 30-1, could have cleaned up!

    It's much easier to pick a 30-1 horse to win than a cardinal to become pope.

    Because you can cap the horse. You can check time trials, how it looks at the paddock. How do you cap 160 old fukks locked in a prison away from everyone when they secretly vote?

    Wait what? I didn't bet on the next Pope and don't really follow the religion, so are you saying that the fact that this dude almost became Pope last time was supposed to be a secret? Because I swear I heard it on TV a week before they picked him, I looked at 5dimes and saw the 30-1 and not knowing the market just told myself it's probably a suckers bet and alot may have changed since 8 years ago. Guess I missed an opportunity there.

    McCain came in a close 2nd to Bush in the 2000 presidential election and yet he got as high as 50-1 to win the nomination in 2008. Biggest gambling score I ever had.
