2012 Movie Opens This Weekend: Odds on End of the World

2012 Movie

In response to the opening weekend of the "end of world" flick 2012, our friends at Sportsbook.com have offered odds on whether the world will indeed end in 2012 as the Mayans have predicted. 

If the world does in fact end in 2012, the online sportsbook promises a payout of $1,000,000 for every $1 bet.  Should the world not end you will get paid $1 for every $500,000 bet.

2012 is a 2009 disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich. The film has an ensemble cast, including John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Woody Harrelson.

The film exploits the idea of a global doomsday event coinciding with the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar's current cycle on or around December 21, 2012 (the northern hemisphere's winter solstice).

Ancient Cultures Share 2012 Prophecy

My friends and I have sold our homes, and we are moving to remote areas, I can not say where. We truly believe this prophecy is true. It's not just the Mayan's that had their calendar end in 2012 - it is many cultures and religions. There is increasing evidence that the time leading up to the final solstice of 2012 does mark the presence of an energy portal that has never before been accessible to the human race.December 22, 2012 will dawn as clocks continue to tick and the human race continues to move one day closer to whatever future harvest it has sown. The world, as you know it, will definitely end on December 21, 2012. It may not be a catastrophic event, but my research has shown that it will be chaos and I will have my family protected, come what may. Good luck to you all. I am getting rid of my internet access on 12/12 of this year. It is time to make my departure - the Hogwarts Express is waiting! Will you be ready for this ride?

$1 million to 1??
