Pope Francis has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44892537/pope-francis-first-south-american-pontiff-and-peoples-pope-dies-at-88">died at the age of 88</a> leaving a vacancy for the position of the global head of the Catholic Church.
Here's a look at the betting odds for the next pope and why sports bettors believe one Major League Baseball player will hit a home run Monday.
Next Pope Odds: Pope Francis was the first South American pope and was known to many as the "People's Pope" thanks to his advocacy for the poor.
Francis had been pope since 2013 when Pope Benedict XVI resigned.
With the death of Pope Francis, the Conclave, a process to select the next pope, will now take place. Conclave typically happens between 15 and 20 days following the death of the pope, which includes a week of mourning.
Unlike presidents and world leaders, the new pope will not be selected by the public, but instead by a group of cardinals who are under the age of 80. The next pope will likely be a cardinal given past history, but all baptized Catholic males are eligible to become a pope.
Betting on the next pope is currently not allowed in the U.S., but prediction markets and European sportsbooks have odds listed after Monday's news of the pope's passing.
Here are the current betting odds for the next pope from prediction market <a href="https://polymarket.com/markets?_q=pope">Polymarket</a>:
<ul>
<li>Pietro Parolin (Italy): 36%</li>
<li>Luis Antonio Tagle (Philippines): 26%</li>
<li>Peter Erdo (Hungary): 8%</li>
<li>Peter Turkson (Ghana): 7%</li>
<li>Robert Sarah (Guinea): 5%</li>
<li>Matteo Zuppi (Italy): 5%</li>
<li>Raymond Burke (U.S.): 4%</li>
<li>Pierbattista Pizzaballa (Italy): 3%</li>
</ul>
Polymarket also has odds for the continent the winner will be selected from with the current odds:
<ul>
<li>Europe: 62%</li>
<li>Asia: 22%</li>
<li>Africa: 10%</li>
<li>North America: 3%</li>
<li>South America: 1%</li>
<li>Oceania: 1%</li>
</ul>
The prediction market also has odds for when the next pope will be announced, with only a 1% chance that the announcement comes by the end of April. The odds of a new pope announcement by May 9 sit at 59%, with the odds of a new pope revealed by May 31 at 97%.
Dating back to 1963, here are the number of days it took for the next pope to be announced:
<ul>
<li>2013: 13 days</li>
<li>2005: 17 days</li>
<li>1978: 18 days</li>
<li>1978: 20 days</li>
<li>1963: 18 days</li>
</ul>
Polymarket allows users to deposit funds using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) via the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) network or directly from a crypto account with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). Winning wagers cash out at $1 per contract. Many of the pope markets have a deadline of Dec. 31, 2025, to cash out or they will turn to $0.
At <a href="https://www.oddschecker.com/us/insight/specials/politics/20250413-next-pope-odds-who-will-take-over-in-vatican-after-passing-of-pope-francis">Oddschecker</a>, the current favorites to be the next pope are:
<ul>
<li>Parolin +350, 22% chance</li>
<li>Tagle: +500, 17% chance</li>
<li>Angelo Scola (Italy): +700, 13% chance</li>
<li>Marc Ouellet (Canada): +700, 13% chance</li>
</ul>
Both Polymarket and Oddschecker show Parolin and Tagle as the favorites, while it could be anyone's guess beyond the two frontrunners before the Conclave begins. Tagle could become the first Filipino pope in history and the first pope from Asia in over 1,000 years.
Parolin has been Francis' secretary of state since 2014 and would likely continue his predecessor's style of leading while also bringing an Italian back to the leadership role after three straight non-Italian popes.. At the age of 67, Tagle could be considered young for a pope and could serve in the leadership role for decades.

MLB Pope Death Connection: Bettors on MLB games and player props are paying close attention to Nick Castellanos and the Philadelphia Phillies who battle the New York Mets Monday night at 7:10 p.m. ET.
Those familiar with baseball know that Castellanos has a knack for hitting home runs on days that have major global events or while the announcers are discussing controversial topics.
Castellanos began the day at odds of +750 to hit a home run at DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) and the odds have since fallen to +360 with a large number of bets being placed on the MLB hitter.
At BetMGM, Castellanos is the most bet player to hit a home run by more than 3x, <a href="https://x.com/johnewing/status/1914311584815485184">according </a>to John Ewing.
At ESPN Bet, Castellanos home run is the most bet player prop across MLB, NBA and NHL <a href="https://x.com/ButlerBets/status/1914390554948890805">combined</a>, which includes multiple Monday playoff contests.
Here is a list of <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/phillies/nick-castellanos-home-run-meme-biden-trump-20240722.html">examples </a>of when Castellanos has hit home runs:
<ul>
<li>The day Osama Bin Laden was killed</li>
<li>Right before Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election</li>
<li>While a broadcaster was apologizing for using a homophobic slur</li>
<li>20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks (Sept. 11, 2021)</li>
<li>During a broadcaster's tribute to those who made "the ultimate sacrifice" on Memorial Day</li>
<li>Day of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump</li>
</ul>
As the Philadelphia Inquirer points out, Castellanos was on the injured list after Queen Elizabeth II died, so he was unable to keep his tradition of hitting home runs during global events in place. Time will tell if the pope's death is followed by a home run by Castellanos or if sportsbooks clean up from the large number of bets placed on the player prop.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44723566/charlie-munger-gave-his-no-1-tip-for-a-long-and-happy-life-avoid-crazy-at-all-costs-but-watch-out-crazy-is-way-more-common-than-you-think">Charlie Munger</a> wasn't just Warren Buffett's right-hand man—he was a billionaire in his own right, a master of patience, and a straight shooter when it came to wealth-building.&nbsp;
For decades, Munger dished out life lessons and money advice like a guy who knew the cheat codes. And he did. When you work shoulder to shoulder with the greatest investor of all time, people tend to lean in when you talk.
One of his final gems came on the <a href="https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/charlie-munger">"Acquired" podcast</a> in October 2023. Munger, sharp as ever in his final months, made it sound almost simple:
"The beauty of it is: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39842841/charlie-munger-said-getting-rich-is-harder-than-ever-but-heres-the-beauty-of-it-you-only-have-to">you only have to get rich once</a>."

<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
He wasn't talking about luck. He wasn't pitching get-rich-quick nonsense. He was saying: do the work, build the foundation, and once you're there—you can stop grinding and let the compounding do the heavy lifting.
Munger also made it painfully clear that the beginning is the toughest part. Back in the late ‘90s at a Berkshire Hathaway meeting, he put it bluntly:
"The first $100,000 is a b&#x2A;tch, but you gotta do it. I don't care what you have to do—if it means walking everywhere and not eating anything that wasn't purchased with a coupon, find a way to get your hands on $100,000."
That $100,000 is equivalent to about $200,000 today when adjusted for inflation. So yes, the bar's higher now—but the principle still holds.
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
Munger's reasoning? Once you've crossed that first financial threshold, wealth begins to build itself. That initial $100K isn't just a number—it's momentum. It's proof you can delay gratification, make smart choices, and keep money working for you instead of the other way around.
Compound interest becomes your new best friend.
When you invest that first $100,000 wisely, it starts to generate returns. Those returns earn more returns. The snowball effect kicks in, and before you know it, your money's doing more work than you are. But none of that happens if you don't push through that first stretch.
Of course, it's not just about math—it's about mindset.

Here are the psychological roadblocks most people hit before even getting started:
Fear of losing money: The stock market can feel like a casino if you don't know what you're doing. But letting inflation quietly eat away at your savings in a checking account? That's a guaranteed loss.
Doubt: If you don't believe wealth is possible for you, you'll never bother trying. Munger's advice wasn't just for the Ivy League elite. It was for anyone willing to hustle and stick with it.
And while Munger didn't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44854326/warren-buffett-surpasses-bill-gates-with-165-billion-fortune-berkshire-is-a-stable-ship-in-a-sea-of-uncertainty">spell out every step to getting rich</a>, he left behind a trail of practical wisdom: live below your means, invest early, and don't get distracted by noise.
The goal isn't to get rich overnight. It's to get there once—and let that be enough.

Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 25.15 in the Machinery industry, Donaldson Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 18.35. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Zions Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZION#NASDAQ">ZION</a>) and Western Alliance Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>) shares are trading lower in Monday&#8217;s after-hours session after the pair of regional banks reported financial results<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44910623/zions-bancorporation-national-association-reports-first-quarter-financial-results"> for the first quarter</a>.
Here&#8217;s a look at the headline numbers and key commentary from the reports.
ZION Q1 Earnings: Zions Bancorp reported first-quarter revenue of $795 million, missing analyst estimates of $797.07 million, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The bank reported first-quarter earnings of $1.13 per share, missing analyst estimates of $1.17 per share.
&#8220;Credit quality remained in very good shape during the quarter, with nonperforming assets stable compared with last quarter at&nbsp;0.51%&nbsp;of loans and leases and annualized net charge-offs of&nbsp;0.11%&nbsp;of loans and leases. At the same time, the&nbsp;outlook&nbsp;for the economy is perhaps more uncertain than it&#8217;s been in a number of years, clouded by the very real potential for negative impacts from tariffs and trade policy, both here and abroad,&#8221; said Harris Simmons, chairman and CEO of Zions Bancorp.
&#8220;We are nevertheless confident that our credit culture and practices and our strong reserves position us to manage through possible turbulence that might materialize in coming quarters.&#8221;
Zions Bancorp shares were down 3.71% after-hours, trading at $42.41 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Zions&#8217; shares are down approximately 20% year-to-date.
WAL Q1 Earnings: Western Alliance reported first-quarter net revenue of $778 million, which appears to have come up short of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WAL/earnings">analyst estimates</a>. The bank reported first-quarter earnings of $1.79 per share, beating estimates of $1.78 per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
&#8220;Western Alliance delivered solid&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;results led by continued loan and deposit growth following the completion of our balance sheet repositioning efforts in 2024. Our deep segment and product expertise enables our business to adapt quickly to an evolving macro environment, while our fortified capital and liquidity levels position the firm to maintain business momentum and prudent credit risk management,&#8221; said Kenneth Vecchione, president and CEO of Western Alliance.
Western Alliance shares were moving lower, but faring better than Zions Bancorp shares at last check. The stock was down 1.36% after-hours, trading at $64 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
