Is betting on who will be the next pope immoral and tasteless? Or are these categories not even valid here?

Betting on next Pope explodes before Francis is even cold

It’s also worth noting: in the U.S., betting on the next pope is illegal under the 1961 Wire Act, whereas Europe allows it. That divergence reflects cultural attitudes toward gambling, not a universal moral truth.

Ah, nothing like locus of control: “It’s legal in Europe, so that makes it moral!” Next you’ll say French winemakers have a monopoly on theology.

Institutional bans don’t eliminate interest—they just push activity underground. Open markets, conversely, allow transparency and consumer protections.

If your conscience tells you not to bet, that’s your choice—but you shouldn’t impose that on others. Everyone’s relationship with money and religion differs.

Morals are not relevant when it comes to betting.

Strong statement. I disagree. However, nothing wrong with betting on the next pope. I hope the guy from Congo takes it so the racists will go crazy again.

Hilarious dea. But since we can safely rely on most of the cardinals being racist, too, the man from Congo is not going to make it.

I must admit, Pope Pierbattista Pizzaballa takes the cake for me.

I think betting on the next pope is super cool. But then, Ihave English ancestry.
