2013 Papal Odds. Dis gon b gud.

As Cardinals gather at the Vatican to elect the next pope, British bookmaker William Hill has posted odds on whom the successor to Benedict XVI will be.

William Hill has a major presence in Nevada, but papal odds are not offered in the state.

Ghanaian cardinal Peter Turkson is listed as the 11-to-4 favorite to replace Benedict, and the next pope being from an African country is offered at 13-to-8, the second choice in that betting pool behind odds-on favorite Italy at 4-to-5. The U.S. is 25-to-1.

“The jostling will now start in earnest and with so many Italian Cardinals you have to think there is a great chance that we will see an Italian Pope later this month,” William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said in a statement.

Here’s a list of William Hill’s odds on who’ll become the 266th pope of the Catholic Church.
