The Storm Area 51 Facebook event that is jokingly threatening to raid the highly guarded military compound has led to one online sportsbook offering up odds on how this whole bunch of nonsense will play out.

Online bookie Bovada has issued three lines on the event that is humorously (not so in the US government’s eyes) planned for September 20 at 3 am PDT. Created by a user named Jackson Barnes, the group currently has 1.3 million Facebook members who have RSVP’d as “going,” and another one million “interested.”

“How many people will RSVP ‘Going’ to the event ‘Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us’ on Facebook?” Bovada asks. The over/under is at 1.51 million, with the over at -400, and under +250.

The odds suggest the movement is just getting started, as -400 implies an 80 percent chance the over will win. The event, which Barnes says he created only as a joke, is gaining national attention and attracting the eyes of government officials.

Trump Weighing In

President Donald Trump rarely shies away from a controversy, but when it comes to betting on whether the commander-in-chief will warn against an Area 51 raid via Twitter, the odds are long.

The line asking if Trump will tell the world to stay away from the Air Force base by September 20 is No -510, Yes +305. As for the actual chances of Area 51 being raided, the line is at No -400, Yes +250.

Still, local businesses say they’re benefiting from the prank event. Motels talking with the Las Vegas Review-Journal say they’ve sold out rooms around September 20, and are expecting increased tourism during the week.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
