With more black smoke on Tuesday indicating that the Papal conclave was yet to elect a new Pope, Ghana’s Cardinal Peter Turkson odds had shortened to 7/2 at PaddyPower.com.

Turkson was now essentially a co-favorite along with Archbishop Angelo Scola (Italy). Brazil Cardinal Odilo Scherer was seeing slightly longer odds during Day 2: 5/1 compared to 4/1 yesterday.

Cardinal Christoph Schonborn of Austria was now coming in at 6/1 odds. Gambling911.com had reported last week that Schonborn was seeing the most betting action at Sportsbook.com.

Cardinal Marc Ouellet (Canada) was now at 7/1 odds while Cardinal Sean O'Malley (United States) had odds of 10/1.
