Seems we can bet on anything these days, and I was intrigued to see that includes "Next Pope".
It would be rather cool if the 6/1 shot Pierbattista Pizzaballa was the chosen one.
Just imagine the fun & puns the newsreaders & headline writers could have with
Pope Pierbattista Pizzaballa

Ha, that's excellent.
Although I am sure he has heard it before. Apologies if this offends anyone-it is not meant to.
A Rangers fan turns 100 years old. He has been a season ticket holder for 88 years. Invited on to the pitch at Ibrox before a game. And the interviewer asks him what was the best year in the history of Rangers FC. He instantly replied-1978.
The interviewer said-why 1978. Scraped the League in 77/78, poor season in 78/79. Likewise, a Cup win and some horrible shocks.
He replied. "True. But 2 Popes died"
