Odds on prophecies and forecasts on the Apocalypse and other natural disasters deemed to erase mankind from the face of the planet now offered by online sportsbooks, reports TheOnlineWire.com
The end of the world is near! What seemed to be Nostradamus and a few other Doomsday prophets' domain recently became the latest craze in the betting industry.
"Betting on natural disasters like hurricanes is not an entirely new wagering option online sportsbooks offer " says Roberto Castiglioni, Founder of TheOnlineWire.com "However betting on the end of the world and the extinction of mankind was never heard before."
Forecasts on natural disasters such as a comet hitting the planet on May 25 are proliferating around the world. These "warnings" are usually based on the interpretation of known prophecies or "psychic disclosures" coming from other planets, like in the case of the comet originally set to cause the worst Tsunami ever experienced by mankind on 5/25.
Mankind obviously cheered when this "psychically" received information didn't come true.
People across the planet were still busy putting rubber boats and rafts away when a new prophecy of the Apocalypse hit the wire.
“There is much debate over the interpretation of the Bible, especially over Revelation, but if we are to interpret 2000 as the end of the millennium 6-6-06 could be the end of the world” stated Matt Ross spokesperson for BetUS.com.
A new wake of relative optimism on Doomsday taking place at a later date recently spread around the globe with the latest interpretation of the Inca astrological observations which set the end of the world to December 23 2013.
While 2013 remains a viable "back up plan" for the ones who want the world to cease to exist, online sportsbook BetUS.com posted 10-1 odds that there will be an Apocalypse on 6-6-06.
"The real question on these wagering odds is.....who will cash out winning bets should the world really come to an end?" ironically asks TheOnlineWire.com.
