Betting on a UFO Visit

Monday December 1, 2008
There are many people who are interested in UFOs who have never seen one. A lot of these folks really want to see one, but here is a story about a man from Great Britain who is even betting money that he will see one.

Geologist Lawrence Tout has wagered £1,000 against 1000-1 odds with bookmakers William Hill that in the year of 2009, there will be a major, definitive UFO sighting that will be confirmed by either the UK Prime Minister or the US President.

Tout said that "I’m not a gambling man. I invest in the stock market, which might be considered a gamble during the current economic climate, but I’m quite adverse to gambling and usually cautious with my money."

He is certain that the UFO predicted by Blossom Goodchild will eventually arrive, and soon. Here is a question I would like to ask all of you: "How much money would you wager that a UFO will make itself known to the world next year?

Is he the one who also has the conditions that either will be Bush or Brown to make an announcement. Surely it would be Obama now if it does happen soon.

Meaning that if Obama makes the announcement the bookies keep his money

Blossom Goodchild’s UFO isn’t coming, thats for sure.

UFO class education #1
It has been said in many different ufo groups and supposedly military circles that the United States is not going to let contact happen to the average joe unless we are at some form of parity with these beings from other places. I personally believe that we have achieved some form of parity and that are government is having a difficult time trying to present it to were the average joe could understand, this is a must for them and they no it. But hope is not all lost. We all must learn to be patient, amazing stuff is coming out all the time, you just have to open your eyes and ears

UFO/other beings have been seen for many years now. As for showing us on a mass scale its a case of is that really their agenda. Its taken some years for genuine cases to come forward and the cracks to this enigma are opening gradually. Thanks to the researchers and authors the world is kept up to date.
There is so many good people in the world and at the moment so much chaos and threat of another great war..maybe there might be an intervention and this mans prediction could be right some time soon…perhaps…who knows. He either has a built-in instinct or he has a lot of money to burn.

Lawrence Tout will lose his money. Fair play to him if he doesn’t. I’m afraid the only one making money out of a UFO, is Blossom Goodchild and that is a UFO which is guaranteed never to appear.

I would suggest putting a bet on Goodchild’s next UFO ‘not appearing’. The odds given by the bookmakers will not be good though!

HEY John want to wager that KJ gets his a** kicked before or after we see a UFO ? I pick before !

(9) NickX says:

I have actually already made a bet like this but with much better odds! If UFOs are disclosed within the next 20 years I win! Should definetly happen right?

I think it is up to the ETs to come around and reveal themselves; the Gov. is not going to do it, ever. If the Ets really care they will show up and we all see them, and meet with them. There is no other way.

Cosmic love to everyone!
