If there are some things in life that should not be bet on, the question of who will next win the Nobel Peace Prize somehow feels like it should be among them. Internet bookmakers, however, will place odds on almost anything, and they are not above taking wagers on Nobel prospects.

His name is Gene Sharp. | If there are some things in life that should not be bet on, the question of who will next win the Nobel Peace Prize somehow feels like it should be among them.
