Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected as the new Pope today as Vegas oddsmakers are already trying to capitalize on this.
VATICAN CITY — It seems in this day and age, Las Vegas will take bets on just about anything; including how many altar boys the new Pope has molested in the past.
Just hours after the white smoke cleared from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel and the new Pope Jorge Mario Bergoglio (pronounced Ber-GOAL-io) was announced, Catholics were already up in arms as Vegas oddsmakers officially set the over/under number of molested altar boys at five. An over/under bet is a wager in which a sportsbook will predict a number for a statistic and bettors wager that the actual number will either be higher or lower than that number. The statistic being wagered on in this case is the number of altar boys oddsmakers believe will be reported by the media in the next 365 days as having previously been molested by the new Pope. Vegas oddsmakers say all wagers have to be placed within two weeks from today to lock in your bet. They say there will be no more bets taken after that.
Vegas oddsmaker Paul Horner explained why the number was set at five. “Five is a good roundabout number. It’s not too many molestations, but not too few,” Horner said. “Comparing the history of other priests and past popes this number sounds just about right.” Horner continued, “I’m predicting the Catholic religion will be dead anyway within 100 years. The only people that care about it now are old people and brainwashed children. It’s only a matter of time before the old people die, and the brainwashed kids actually read the bible. But until that happens, Vegas can reap the benefits of all this nonsense.”
Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin who was in Las Vegas visiting various schools in the area educating children about the dangers and consequences of masturbation was asked by reporters what he thought about the over/under wager. “I’m not so much concerned about the number of children the new Pope has molested in the past, but rather if he himself has ever masturbated before or not.” Fappy® continued, “It’s one thing to molest an altar boy and ask for forgiveness. But by raping yourself, there is no available forgiveness and you are guaranteed an eternity of hell in the afterlife.”
Michael Ian Black told reporters his whole family had gotten together at his home today and was celebrating the selection of the new Pope. “With all this excitement about electing the new Pope, I almost totally forgot there is no god.”
You can place your molested altar boy over/under wagers with any online sportsbook or at a casino accepting bets of this kind.

I would bet the over on this, but that’s just me
This is just sick and offensive that Las Vegas would gamble about something as serious as this!
How many the media will find out about? hmmmmm that’s a good question. Well, at least a couple, not five though. I’ll go with the under
I’ll take the over with an exacta of 67
Vegas will bet on anything lol
This is just sick that Vegas would do this… just disgusting
Whoever gambles against god will always lose.
I’d definitely take the over… all those popes have a past, and the media will be all over it now identifying who this guys really is

All religions are a joke.. they’re good for helping people understand a higher power, but that’s about it. I’m extremely spiritual and believe in god or a source… but these ridiculous religions need to end already. The human race will never move forward with these silly man made ideologies holding the majority of people back.
I love what the Vegas oddsmaker is quoted as saying in this lol

Vegas should be ashamed!
I’m taking the under. This pope doesn’t look too perverted and deviant… ah, but those are usually the worst kinds. They hide in plain site. Okay, change that, put me on $100 for the over
