All-in-one online gambling sites and casinos are known for offering a variety of bets ranging from sports bets and casino games, to online lottery and bingo.  It is also true that many of these sites offer unconventional proposition betting on current events in the political and entertainment scenes.  It is not at all uncommon these days to find business propositions on high-profile court cases (such as the sentencing of Enron executives), celebrity engagements and congressional outcomes.

Although many of these types of online bets border the line of outrageousness, many of them do produce definitive results in reasonable amounts of time.  This is precisely why a recent proposition bet that was placed at a well-known online sportsbook (BetUS.com) has many considering it be one of the most outrageous propositions of all.

The bet is proposing that the Apocalypse will take place tomorrow, June 6, 2006.  According to certain interpretations of the Christian Bible, many people believe that 2006 is the year and time referred to in Revelations, during which the world will meet a fiery end.  Many of these same people also believed the end was coming at the Millennium.  Despite what one chooses to believe, the big question that remains is how do these individuals expect to get paid out by the online sportsbook, if the end of the world does indeed come.

It suffices to say the odds for betting against this proposition would not pay out very well - And considering the odds of the world coming to an end have been given 10 to 1 odds, well, some bettors would simply say betting on one's life coming to an end with 10 to 1 odds is just not worth it.  While BetUS is undoubtedly having some fun with this one (as does the online betting site's spokesperson, Jesse Ventura), BetUS has confirmed that bets are being made.
