Intertops.com Offers Odds on Space Race

ST. JOHN'S, Antigua –- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Aliens invading earth is a popular theme that Hollywood film studios periodically revive to entice throngs of moviegoers to buy tickets. This summer, earth is menaced by armies from outer space on thousands of theatre screens, and it is Tom Cruise to the rescue in the cinematic version of "The War of the Worlds."

But just how likely is an encounter with BEMs (Bug-Eyed Monsters) from another galaxy?

In 1938, millions of Americans were panicked into believing an invasion from Mars was underway through Orson Welles' realistic radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds." Today's audiences are too sophisticated to be fooled like that... or are they?

For those who are intrigued by the possibilities, a leading online sportsbook offers odds on whether humans will first land on Mars, or whether aliens from outer space will first set foot on earth.

According to Antigua-based Intertops, the odds of humans landing on Mars first are 1-20, while the probability of aliens touching down on earth first is 14-1.

While Las Vegas sportsbooks are prohibited from handling non-sports wagers, Intertops is able to fully satisfy its customers' interest in action of all types. "We are happy to provide both serious and recreational players with a comprehensive menu of wagering options," advised Chief Oddsmaker Dutch Magnum. "Many of our clients enjoy betting on fun propositions keyed to events in such diverse areas as entertainment, politics, or you name it!"
