Resolution Criteria
This market will resolve when a new Pope is officially elected following either:
The death of Pope Francis
The resignation of Pope Francis
The market will resolve in favor of whichever cardinal is elected as the next Pope by the College of Cardinals and accepts the position. If the elected Pope chooses a name not previously associated with their cardinal name, resolution will still be based on their identity as a cardinal.
The market is single-choice, only answers with names indicating a single person will be possible of choice.
Are you aware that betting on a new pope is an excommunicable offence?

o3 is incredible. It has exactly the odds here without looking at the market.
@TheWabiSabi mixed bag. Wrt homosexuals Zuppi. Wrt celibasy, the expectation would be Turkson, though other respects he would be one of the most conservative. Not sure about the stances on the latin mass, which for some would be a measure of conservativism or progressivism
I was thinking Turkson for a while, but there seems to be an anti-Trump backlash in many places, like in Canada. Plus, Francis expanded the college to the largest number of cardinals ever, many of whom could be expected to follow his views.
I think there might be a surprise here. I'm not buying more of Turkson or any of the conservative candidates.


As mentioned, I could close the market at any time from now on, indicatively I would like to do it when there is white smoke.
