Bookmakers say the odds-on favorite to be the next Pope is now a close race between two cardinals. Yes, you can bet on who the new pontiff will be. Over 130 cardinals are convening at the Vatican today to select a replacement for Pope Francis, who died last month at age 88. Since the Pope's death, betting platforms around the world have been placing odds on who will be his likely successor. In the lead is Cardinal Pietro Parolin, a 70-year-old Vatican diplomat and the Pope's secretary of state. In a close second is 67-year-old Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, who has been called the "Asian Francis" because of his commitment to social justice.
