Assuming you can find them. If I took a bet like that you'd have a hell of a time finding me!

(I'm sure serious, or "serious," people who actually construct these bets of course require the "world still here" payout be escrowed. Still.)

If you escrow the World Still Exists payment you lose the benefit of having the World Ends payment immediately.
Yeah, it isn't a kind of bet that makes any sense except as a conversation starter. Imagine needing to pay so much money for one of those!
