Sportsbooks Taking Bets On The End Of The World In 2012

Gambling News - November 22nd, 2009 - Written by Bonnie

There is one common question that has most likely come across the mind of every human being at one time or another, and that is how will life as we know it come to an end? Although this subject can be very controversial due to various religious beliefs, it is an issue that continues to draw speculation and theoretical controversy. Recently, a movie by the name of 2012, which is based around the doomsday predictions of the Mayan Calander, was released and has created a flood of discussion throughout the entertainment industry. The film takes place in the year 2012, when events start unfolding, indicating the end of the world is near, as predicted by the Mayans centuries ago.

Whether or not this film has any truth behind what they portray, or is simply an entertaining science fiction disaster flick, the end of times is scary to think about, regardless what you believe to be actually taking place. Some think that the world tragedies that have taken place over the past few years are actually warning signs that there is more yet to come. People tend to use religion as a battle shield, which is good for those of religious beliefs but unfortunate for those who look for physical evidence that supports any of these predictions.

Research has not been able to scientifically validate the Mayan predictions, so its up to the individual to decide what convictions they hold true regarding end times. The truth of the matter is that no one can specifically identify exactly when or how, the world as we know it will come to an end, or at least we have nothing written in stone that can be proven or interpreted perfectly. The fact that this is such a hot topic of discussion among the population at large, we wondered just how far some would go to make money on the "end of the world predictions." Millions of people are flocking to the theater to see the new movie 2012,hence interest in the subject is confirmed. We found several online discussion groups trying to sell literature pertaining to the end of the world, but most interestingly, we found Entertainment Betting odds as to, "If the world ends in 2012, how will it happen"? Bookmaker Sportsbook has betting odds as to how this event will take place, should it be in the year 2012. Participants can choose from several catastrophic world ending events and then can only hope that they are around to collect the winnings.
