[wraggster]

A gambling website's favorite as Microsoft Corp.'s next chief executive officer is Stephen Elop (http://www.businessweek.com/news/2013-08-28/microsoft-s-next-ceo-a-tough-bet-as-online-gamblers-favor-elop), the Nokia CEO who has presided over a 62 percent decline in market value. Elop, a former Microsoft executive, has 5-to-1 odds to be hired as Steve Ballmer's replacement, according to Ladbrokes, the U.K.-based gambling operator. He leads a pool including internal candidates Kevin Turner and Julie Larson-Green and outsiders like Apple CEO Tim Cook — a 100-to-1 dark horse."
