And They're Waiting In The Stalls Now...

As Cardinals, perhaps somewhat prematurely (what if it's all a massive April fool?), begin to pour into Rome airports (so Italian news reports), I'm somewhat distressed to notice that Paddy Power appear to have quietly pulled the Papal Stakes. Presumably only temporarily, once the death is announced most of the major bookmakers open a book, Power were only unusual in that they made their book a couple of years early.

Labour victory in the General Election is odds on though, 1-14 (Cons 6-1, LD 50-1, Other 500-1). Not sure I'd put it quite that high myself. Wonder what the spread betting looks like.
