I'd be willing to bet you, if I was a betting man, that I have never bet on baseball.
I bet his mother was a wyvern. -Scamp
In any contest between power and patience, bet on patience.
Well, so be it. Nothing's perfect in life, so you have an election that's not quite perfect. Is it better than not having an election? You bet.
I'm the type of guy where one thing leads to another and eventually it gets awful. If I put a $5 bet on a roulette table tonight at 10 o'clock, by tomorrow at noon I would be running guns to Cuba.
Never bet on baseball.
If you mind losing more than you enjoy winning, don't bet.
In most betting shops you will see three windows marked 'Bet Here', but only one window with the legend 'Pay Out'.
I have this fancy Givenchy bag. I don't know what the Kardashians have in their bags - I bet they have really expensive products or six cellphones or something. I have a cellphone and some lipstick for me, and the rest is just filled with stuff for the kids - sunscreen and lip balm and little Ziploc bags of pretzels and cheese sticks.
Kelly was aware that there is one type of favorable bet available to everyone; the stock market.
So what if I don't learn algebra?' 'Someday schools will be open again,' Mom said. 'Things will be normal. You need to do your work now for when that happens. ' 'That's never going to happen,' Jon said. 'And even if schools do open up somewhere, they're not going to open up here. There aren't enough people left. ' 'We don't know how many people are like us, holed up, making do until times get better. ' 'I bet whoever they are, they aren't studying algebra,' Jon said.
Anarchism? You bet your sweet betsy. The only cure for the ills of democracy is more democracy. Much more.
To speak of God, to think of God, is in every respect to show what one is made of. I have always wagered against God and I regard the little that I have won in this world as simply the outcome of this bet. However paltry may have been the stake (my life) I am conscious of having won to the full. Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!
Anytime you make a bet with the best of it, where the odds are in your favor, you have earned something on that bet, whether you actually win or lose the bet. By the same token when you make a bet with the worst of it, where the odds are not in your favor, you have lost something, whether you actually win or lose the bet.
The wise ones bet heavily when the world offers them that opportunity. They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don't. It's just that simple.
I'll bet most of the companies that are in life-or-death battles got into that kind of trouble because they didn't pay enough attention to developing their leaders.
When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.
I have to warn you: I bet horses like a girl.
The work of democratic government is routinely concerned with matters defined as troubles. In "The Presidency and the Press" I make the point, familiar to anyone who has flown about the world much, that the best quick test of the political nature of a regime is to read the local papers on arrival. If they are filled with bad news, you have landed in a libertarian society of some sort. If, on the other hand, the press is filled with good news, it is a fair bet that the jails will be filled with good men.
Our target market is recreational bettors, but that doesn't mean we expel the wise guys. A big bet for us is maybe $10,000.
