Abstract
A foreground galaxy between a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) source and the obs erver will produce the repetition of the observed transients by means of gravitational lensing effect. The detection of the first repetition will allow one to predict with good accuracy the time of the second r epetition. A quantitative description of the phenomenon is given.
