BetUs.com Posts Odds On Whether or Not the Apocalypse Will Happen On 666

June 1, 2006, New York, NY – We are in the midst of the 2000 millennium and there have been both severe natural disasters and man-made wars. Could this be a sign that the Apocalypse, described by St John in the last book of the New Testament, is just a week away? BetUS.com – a leading online gaming site posted 10-1 odds that there will be an Apocalypse on 6-6-06.

The final book of the New Testament is Revelation, and for centuries theologians have pondered its highly symbolic, prophetic language. Revelation describes an apocalypse that will put an end to the world at the end of the millennium. It is prophesied that it is then that a great war will be fought between good and evil. In Revelation "the beast," or evil, is represented by the number 666. Could the sixth day of the sixth month in the year 2006 be the end of the world as we know it?

“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. “We are in the middle of a war, there have been earthquakes, tidal waves, and hurricane season is now upon us. No one could possibly know what can happen next”.

I would think it would be rather hard to collect on your bet if you
have the Yes and it happens, but that's just me

What does an arbitrary date have to do with anything? Especially considering that the date in the Julian Calendar would be completely different from the date in the Gregorian calendar. Time itself is completely arbitrary for that matter - we made it up. (and we made up several other things - like,,,uhhhh,,, Religion)....

I'm just looking forward to the remake of the Omen.

Have a nice day!

seriously, what do you have to lose in placing this bet

I do not currently have an account with BetUS but I am seriously considering opening one tomorrow morning. I have not been able to verify that this prop bet is actually available but if so, I may very well put my life savings on “NO” and sweat the payout.

That’s just the kind of guy I am.

ANGELZ, if you have some inside info on this please let me know before 10:00 am CDT.

Thank you all and by all means, good luck.
