Actually that is one of the things usually. Along with a lot of others that have already happened. I am too tired to list them, they are obvious though.

Oh wow, the fact it's hard to make a proper bet on an apocalypse means it must be likely!
That was a joke. The joke was that if it happens we won’t be able to tell you you were wrong, not that it was likely because it’s hard to predict.
It’s also not more likely to happen because you don’t think it will and people always think it won’t before it does, but people always think it won’t before it does.
