Odds that the world will end on Saturday, May 21st: 909,000/1

Odds that the world will end on Saturday, May 21st: 909,000/1

Not really, but that's as close as I could find. That was the odds offered back in 2003 if the world ended on March 13, 2014. That was the date scientists believed an asteroid was going to hit our fair Planet Earth. The scientists have since revised their calculations and say we're safe--for now. The odds were made by UK bookmakers William Hill. According to an article in Sky news, William Hill "opened a book on a whole range of unlikely events occurring, all at odds of 909,000/1."

So I'm using that as a baseline that the world will come to and end on May 21st as Harold Camping of Family Radio Worldwide is predicting.

In other words, no freaking way. I'm still scheduling things for next week. I feel sorry for the saps who believe in this false prophet and have been spending their life savings in anticipation of the rapture. May 22nd is going to be a hell of a spiritual hangover for them.  

 you may collect, but you'll have very little time to spend it!

 I guess your right now that I think about it. Oh well, its worth a shot to have action on it!! If i find a book with it at 910,000+/1 ill drop 20 on it.

Other 909,000/1 bets William Hill offered back in 2003 that they never had to pay out:

::Jordan to marry Prince Harry and become Queen
::Michael Jackson to have a head transplant and to announce that he should now be known as Elvis Jackson
::UK temperature to hit 100F - on Christmas Day
::Prince Charles to wed Camilla, renounce his right to the Throne, and become an MP for the Green Party
::Arnold Schwarzenegger to become US President and introduce compulsory body-building and Austrian lessons in schools
::Tony Blair to join Tory Party and become first man to be Prime Minister for two different Parties
::A manned expedition to Mars to arrive and discover the Loch Ness Monster there
::UFO containing intelligent extra-terrestrial life forms to land outside Number 10 Downing Street and abduct current PM
::Sven Goran Erikkson to marry Ulrikka Johnson and produce twins called Nancy and John
::Mick Jagger and Keith Richard to announce that they will continue touring after cloning themselves and renaming band Rolling Clones
::Elvis Presley to reappear and marry Madonna

Talk about the biggest lock of all-time.

Where did they come up with the 909,000 number at..?

Why is this any different? Two dollar bet and you could be worth a 1,000,000+.

A team winning a championship and these events you cannot compare.  

 This is true due to leagues only having 30 or so teams, so the odds are better compaired to the total number of possible days the world could end. I get that 'gamble04'. But what i am trying to say is that 2 dollars on this bet isnt going to hurt anyone to have a chance for millions!!

 Let me put you in the future "gfinger":

 "that sucks, had to try it though"

I'm sure it will be much like what he said back in 1994 when he wrongly predicted the same thing. How can this guy read the bible and not see his picture next to the term "false prophet?"   

Three days to go until End Times  

and Harold Camping is still taking donations at his church's web site. . P.T. Barnum would love this guy.

 I know, im excited!! Kinda like a few days before SuperBowl and you already have your ticket in!!!

No earthquakes reported at 6 pm and after across the International Date Line in the Phillipines, New Zealand, Australia.

It looks like those who took the long shot on Camping have lost their bet. But, hey, it's not the end of the world!

 Still time here in the US!! Come on. This could be a life changing event for me!!
