I thought it might be interesting if we came up with some of our own and gave the odds. Serious, or comedy.
2/1 - David Cameron to announce a policy in 2006
5/1 - Arsene Wenger to admit defeat graciously in 2006
1/3 - Prince charles to take more than 2 skiing holidays in 2006
5/2 - Andrew Flintoff to be BBC Sports personality of the year again
25/1 - US constitution amended to allow Arnie to run for President
33/1 - US constitution amended to allow George W Bush to run for a third term
1000/1 - George W Bush to not misuse the word "freedom" in an ironic manner in 2006
15/1 - Wayne Rooney not to get a booking in the world cup
1/2 - Sven Goran Erikkson to quit England after the world cup
200/1 - Leeds United to win "fifa world fans of the year"
10/1 - Hollywood to make a sequel thats actually worth watching
EV - Danny Williams to retire from boxing after a routine spannering off either Skelton or Rahman

I think you have your odds backwards, 1000/1 are pretty good odds (100,000% chance of happening). :/
