I had a look at this after the conclave started. Not the hotbed of backing and laying I’d hoped for.

Have to hope those Cardinals haven't got a Maltese address, and VPN with Betfair on their phones.

News doesn't tend to leak out on this market.

I've captured some data anyhow to analyse. But I remember the previous market didn't contain any precursors.

Do Betfair suspend on the white smoke or later in the announcement process?

When they notice the announcement has been made, they will suspend the market. But it's unlikely market ops are watching it actively.

Ha! I always think someone knows something in markets decided by a vote, but if any market has a chance of secrecy prevailing it’s surely this one.

Ah, well, even though I’ve not had a single penny matched I’ve had a few laughs out of this thread.

I thought that one had fell a the Cardinal Turn, but I don't really watch the Grand National much these days.

The appointment is very similar to the last one, a bit out of nowhere.
