“We’ve had a lot of interest in the pope,” said Gerard Daffy at Australian-based Centerbet. “We’re offering (U.S. President) George W. Bush and (British Prime Minister) Tony Blair at 200/1 but haven’t had a single bet.” Centerbet had the pope Thursday at 5-2 on — you bet one dollar and get back $1.40 if he wins. Havel, who helped bring down the Iron Curtain in a “Velvet Revolution,” trailed him at 7/1 with Irish rock star Bono and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva tied on 10/1.
