For our American brothers, all bets are off. Apparently papal gambling is illegal in the "good ole USA"! Why? I don't have the Vegas idea!

Me I bet it will be another man that wins. Seems that it is always the other guy. Rather odd I say.

Well, we've narrowed it down to a man.

So far, Petrus is the favourite at 5:2.
