Will you still bet on the next Pope next time?

This is one of the reasons we should not bet with the amount of money that we can not afford to lose because we can lose the money.

Absolutely, and apart from that , it's not also good to follow the predictions or credits of the betting marketmarket. On that first thread regarding this Pope bet by polymarket, Luis Antonio Tagle was given the highest chance and I guess that so many bettors felt deceived by  that high chance given to Tagle. Even the US presidential election betting was so simple to predict and many people won, compared to this one.

The opportunity to vote for the next Pope is not what anyone will be talking about now because the new Pope has just been elected. He will be staying for many years as his health will carry him as a Pope before the election of a new Pope will take on.

Till, when that time comes, I will know what to do. If to vote, or not. I am sure I will not be voting on the popular cardinal who has the high odds of becoming a Pope. I will vote on the cardinal who has the lowest chance of becoming the next Pope. They are the ones whose chance of becoming Pope is high

You can see how huge amount of money was wiped out after people thought Cardinal Pietro Parolin will be the winner but the winner Robert Francis Prevos which has 1% chance to 28% of Cardinal Pietro Parolin became the next Pope. People lost greatly and betting sites are so happy about it. This is one of the reasons we should not bet with the amount of money that we can not afford to lose because we can lose the money.

Italy has always had the most Pope ever since the sit of the papacy came about, and as such, it was obvious many people thought Cardinal Pietro Parolin will emerge the next Pope, but unfortunately he didn't, which is also a great move, proofing to the world that the seat of the Papacy is not a regional inheritance, but a global thing which hopes great value of the faith of over 2 billion Catholics all across the globe. And secondly, gambling is a game of luck, of which everybody who placed a bet for their respective cardinals knew they had a 50/50% chance to either win or lose, while gambling with what they can always afford. But however didn't, has his self to blame.

I didn't bet in the previous one and the one before and I doubt I will ever take bets on Pope or political stuff because it's very hard to predict and also I really feel uncomfortable to bet. I also said in a similar thread some weeks ago that people should stay away from betting on Pope elections because the Conclave is so secret in voting that bookies simply cannot predict just by odds and numbers who will be elected.

It is really risky to predict in this type of poly market. Since you mentioned that Pope Francis was elected despite not being very popular, then why would we participate in this type of risky bet? I would never participate in this type of bet because this type of prediction or bet seems very risky to me. We will not participate in this type of risky bet, we will always participate in low risk bets where we can win with our analysis and strategy. Maybe Pope Francis was elected despite being less popular, but looking at that election we can never bet on less popular people because we do not know exactly who might be elected here, but if there is a fair election and the results are declared fairly and accurately, then we will definitely hope that a popular person will be elected.

Anything is possible in gambling, that is why we cant predict accurately on the result of a bet until after the bet is done, i only pity those that took extreme risk to play bets all because of overconfidence in what they seems to get more convinced of, but gambling is not like that, we play bets to have fun, wage on the risk involve and manage our way in and out, if we cant afford the cost to playing it, we shouldn't dare it, because we are more likened to lose than to win.

Well let us check this critically. The Pope is not a position that has a specific duration like the usual politically elected position. I believe the Pope is until death or some issues arising so hoping to bet on who will be the next Pope should not have a strong place in your future agenda.
The recent Pope election was highly views and yes a was a big business for betting companies. I did not actually follow it up but if I did I think I would have correctly picked Robert for sure.

[Stalker22]

People have different tastes when it comes to gambling, I suppose.  Some enjoy putting their cash on unlikely outcomes, even something as unpredictable as electing a new Pope.  Still, witnessing that kind of upset illustrates the main rule for gambling: dont wager money you cant stand to lose for good and  the casinos and bookmakers sure arent crying over the folks leaving empty-handed.

You should know that they usually say that it’s the holy spirit that chooses the next pope. Yes, there’s politics involved if we want to be honest but also we never actually know what goes on around the heads of those cardinals who voted. What may have transpired inside the chapel. What they may have talked about to convince each other who must they vote for. So, if you are to gamble on the next pope again just don’t expect that it will be based on anything logical.

It is very difficult to win on this, tehre are more than 100 that can be Pope and there are big chance that the next Pope is not in the list of Papabeto.
You should skip on this betting, the banker is always the winner.

I will go for a sports which you need to choose on 2 teams.

There are somethings that are very difficult to bet on and this is one of them, I was surprised to see this on the discussion board, thought it wasn't something that betting sites would add but a lot of them did. Betting has a lot of options these days,  people who even bet on random people they don't know in the internet playing Fortnite and call of duty mobile. For me I would always stick to the sports I'm comfortable with.

No analysis will work to determine the next Pope, because it is based on a secret voting where every voter are candidate themselves and it's not about popularity but who they think can guide the whole Catholic, I don't think we can figure out and besides the Papal voting is not a yearly event.
The next voting could happen in the next 5 or 10 years, we don't know, it depends on the longevity of the sitting Pope, I don't think I can figure out in the next voting.

God forgive me for what i'm about to say, but this is the only truth and we don't need to fight it, politics has entered the church most times Holy spirit doesn't do the selection. I am speaking down from local churches up to where it stops as a core of Christianity.

I never knew about bets going on for who becomes the next pope, and i don't find it ideal, it's a matter of spirituality among Christians, it should be kept sacred, gambling platforms should know a limit when it comes to spiritual things like this.

[OgNasty]

People were betting on the next Pope?  How does one even do this?  I had no idea whatsoever who the candidates even were.  Did they announce a short list or something?  Maybe this is how the Catholic Church should start funding itself.

This situation makes me laugh.  I imagine churches were being called by gamblers looking for a line on who the next Pope will be.  Nuns having to man the phones to tell degenerates that they don't know who will be selected next.  Such ridiculousness.  If you were a part of this, thanks for the laugh.

[salad daging]

Will not bet on unknown fields including the election of the pope.
So I myself rarely bet randomly on any sport but is this kind of betting available in casinos in general or indeed on specific sites?

In fact, I didn't even pay much attention to the news about the pope election betting, just some videos on Tiktok about the elected pope.

[Asiska02]

People that bet on the next Pope to me are addicted gamblers, big gamblers that may have more money to gamble even if they fail on the bet. Losing such a large money over a bet that does not give room for any prior analysis, like election, performance of them or anything related should mean that a big whopping price is attached to it.

Many will put in enough money because they know that the reward is big, so they’ll risk more. Even if the larger number of people will lose from this bet, few that may have won the bet with small amount when they can afford more will be sad they didn’t risk more. This is a game of gambling and whatever the case may be in the end, just invest what you can afford to lose only.

The book markers fixed up these odds themselves to put them in the profit margin, although the descriptions will always say it gives you the bettor a clue, somehow to defeat the house and win against them.

Nobody(outside the Cardinals) knows/ has ever known who the next Pope will be, which is why they decided to create a fantasy odd for it. That right there had earned them millions, if not billion of dollars as profit for a one-time show.
TBH, with the results on ground, I'm not entirely sure everyone lost to the game as some intrusive thoughts would lead some into betting against the public (which is on the least odd) but also, i haven't heard/read from anywhere that anyone actually won on this bet.

This is one of the reasons we should not bet with the amount of money that we can not afford to lose because we can lose the money.

This was an obvious profit scheme for the casinos.

From what I noticed from the casinos that offer odds on this, some of them have a long list, and some have a short list.

If you are curious who the strong candidates were, you can check this thread Who will be the next pope bets and predictions.

I'm truly surprised by the existence of this type of betting, just as I was recently surprised by bets on who will win the current war between India and Pakistan. I'd almost say this is shocking to me and illogical.

It would be better to limit betting to sports, not gambling on everyday speculations like who will win the Malaysian elections, who will lead the church, or who will win the war of a million martyrs. I might exclude elections, since they are more like a game of chance than a marathon, but morally, I find it deeply shameful to enjoy betting on people who represent holiness and integrity (saints and priests, regardless of religion), and I don't think they would want to be betting tools. I also find betting on who will win a war deeply shameful, for someone to bet on who kills the most and who causes the most tragedy.

Like I said in my last post on this topic, chosing of Pope is a spiritual exercise, it's not by election or voting, I said the Pope that will be chosen will be the one that nobody expect and that is what exactly happened, nobody ever taught that an American will be the next Pope, alot of persons taught that it will be from the first to the third then selected and now it's a shock on the whole world . There is no need to place a bet on this issue or gamble on it because you will never understand it not to talk about winning, just forget it .

My advice to gamblers is that they shouldn't bet on a sport that they don't know... having fun is part of gambling but it doesn't mean that you should do everything to risk your life..I seem to be a little invested in this, as for those that predicted I hope the results were in your favor. I find it really uncomfortable to bet on things like this due to personal reasons.
