I think it's a good thing. I bet it'll fill that truck up. It's a pretty giving community and I'm glad to be a part of it.

It broke my heart to see it, because it had gotten sold a couple of weeks ago for $39. Someone just made the wrong bet on that one.

It comes down to a simple bet we're making. It's a bet that India appreciates, as much as we do, that the two nations have the potential to be the anchors for stability and security in the world going into the 21st century.

I think that's a great rule the NBA is implementing. I'm tired of the BET image.

I think you're going to have people withdraw money for good, ... People are going to say, 'I'd rather bet on the New York Giants because I have a better chance of guessing the result than of knowing what some management team is up to.'

I think with Ray you got somebody who really is an unusual person and an unusual player in the NBA in terms of his character, his leadership and how he takes care of himself, ... If you were going to make a bet on someone, I think Ray Allen is the poster child for that. I feel very comfortable.

I think the Caribbean would be gone tomorrow, ... I still think people would rather bet with the MGM Mirage than offshore. Would I like to book to everyone in the U.S.? The answer would be a resounding yes.

I think the better bet is that we went into a geographical area that has a variant of these germs, that we're not familiar with, that we don't have any inherited immunity to,

I think we'll survive, ... I placed a very sizeable bet that we can.

I think both of those kids will play as hard as they can against each other. Knowing that family, I bet it'll be close afterwards, too. ... His sister (Christina) goes to school here. The whole family is close.

I think it's unlikely that it's the retail investor causing this kind of action. You can pretty much bet it's program traders.

I think it's tough to bet against a healthy Jason Kidd. That's just what I believe. Especially with the surrounding cast they have.

It had elements of Miles Davis and Billie Holiday and little horn pieces. The way he combined that, I was like, ?Hmm. I bet he would get where I?m trying to go with this record.? It was taking a chance. God knows if he would even do it because it was kind of his first time, I think, even venturing into the ?pop? world. I knew that it would be a different and new thing for him.

It has been a great story -- strong growth and no inflation and low interest rates, but my bet is that one area that will be a little bit of a challenge to stocks will over time be interest rates.

Late-day trading is like being permitted to bet on yesterday's horse races, ... You already know who's going to win.

I will bet you that when it's all said and done, we'll reach our goal of $50 million.

I will bet my bottom dollar that it will bring a significant number of gay and lesbian votes to Cuomo. On the other hand, could Sean, if he ran his campaign smartly, still walk away with a bulk of the lesbian and gay votes? He could.

I think they've got a lot of A-pluses going for them at this point. In six or seven or eight years, it will be a major player. I think its reputation is going to grow very, very quickly. You can bet on that.

I think the whole key to Craig is similar to Curtis. He grew up with a golf club in his hand and learned at an early age how to play the game. He's been a consistent ball striker for us for four years. His senior year he finally grew into his body. He's one of those young pups that just pounds the ball which is why I didn't bet him on the side.

I scrambled to the top of the precipice where Nick was waiting. ""That was fun,"" I said. ""You bet it was,"" said Nick. ""Let's climb higher."" ""No,"" I said. ""I think we should be heading back now."" ""We have time,"" Nick insisted. I said we didn't, and Nick said we did. We argued back and forth like that for about 20 minutes, then finally decided to head back. I didn't say it was an interesting story.

I said before, hopefully, Belmont day, I would move for every racetrack to have a lemonade stand on Belmont day throughout the entire United States and give a dollar to the lemonade stand or their local juvenile cancer fund. And, like I said earlier, everybody who was fortunate enough to bet on this horse, makes a little money, just take $1, donate it to Alex's Lemonade Stand or local juvenile cancer fund, and maybe we can make the world a better place.

Our general view is that the market is very overbought and will go down, but that could be delayed somewhat. In the very near term, I hesitate to bet against the market when you've got this much stimulus.

Our bet is that the impact, if there is a lot of damage, will get us $3-per-gallon gas in three weeks.

Our bet here is that stock trading between four and five times cash flow going into next year, ... They've got very little debt. These guys are either buying back shares or looking at other companies.

Our best bet would have been to have Chad in the back. It was kind of unfortunate he was in front of me because I knew once he starts pushing, I could be in trouble.

Our baseball fans are tremendously excited about this event. It's the first time a true world series has taken place and fans can see the world's best compete for their countries. When it comes to national pride everybody likes to bet on the outcome. This event will really go a long way in finally determining who the real power is in baseball.

Other than the occasional horse race, my husband does not bet on any sports.

Sports betting is the rock of Gibraltar. It's American, like apple pie. That will always be there. People love to bet on it. People love to bet on their football games.

Someone 'big' will get thrown out of their Trials or at the Olympics. I would bet my house on it.

My wife and I were talking this morning, and I said 'What if all Americans said they were not going to drive, everyone parked their cars, what would the oil companies do?' I bet they would lose millions.

My partner turned around and said, 'That car is driving at a terrible speed. I bet you anything when we get up there it's wrapped around a lamp post'. When we came up and saw the body that was it. It just really tore us apart.

Many handset manufacturers bet against it, notably Samsung and LG. Now, many of the U.S.-based and European wireless carriers are behind it. They're building hybrid networks, using 3G networks in urban areas and using Edge in rural areas.

Look how cute that is, ... I bet you I was in a blue blanket at this point.

I will still bet there's no strike, one or the other. These airlines are too big to allow a strike for any period of time.

I wish I had put a bet on, but thought it might have been disrespectful to the Holy Spirit.

I was in my early 20s and open to alternative lifestyles. I thought, 'I bet you get a lot of attractive, interesting women in a vegetarian co-op.'

I think if you were a gambler and you had a million dollars, you should have gone to Las Vegas and bet a million dollars that Tennessee and Rutgers would meet in the NCAA tournament.

It doesn't tell you anything in terms of the fundamentals. I think there will be a bet made tomorrow (Tuesday) and early Wednesday that the Fed goes 50 basis points (a half-percentage point). If it pays off, I think there will be a trading flurry.

I think he had a wake-up call. ...It's a different kind of race, and I think maybe he didn't take it quite as seriously as he might have, but you can bet he learned a lot of lessons.

It currently seems a pretty safe bet that interest rates will not change for several more months to come, if at all this year.

It has rained 20 straight days. Are you willing to bet it's not going to rain the 21st?

I thought I'd heard most things that people want to bet on after 30 years in the business. But one asking literally to place a dead cert was unique. I'm glad Arthur has lost.

Jim's NBA career was all about determination. No one studied the game more. He had notebooks on every single player he ever faced. I bet he still has them.

June was best friends with Robert Duvall, and I was directing a movie with Duvall and they were constantly talking about me among themselves. Soon John and June kept calling me to do a movie about John's life. When we started the whole project it really was more about John, but as we got going, we all realized there was no way this film could not be about the two of them. A lot of people knew who June was, but I'll bet you very, very few of them knew what a big influence she was on his career and his life.

We never made it through nine holes, ... If you were smart, you would have bet the under every time.

I would like to finish my senior season with 82 wins, which means that we make it to the finals and I win all of my singles matches. I know that we can get there, and I bet this time we will give Western Michigan a run for their money when we do.

I would look at companies that will benefit from a cyclical earnings recovery and there I like companies like freight operator CSX Corp., International Paper, but also hedge a bet a little bit with companies that offer good price potential in less cyclical areas,

I would never bet against Warren Buffett if I were sitting at a poker table with him.

I would never bet against the American love affair with television. It spans all ages and all demographics. The logical next step is to be able to watch TV anywhere.

My bet is that others are experiencing the same things. I am also betting that most people aren't even doing any checking,

My bet is that China is indisputably number one in renewable energy within five years. They now have key state sponsored support and one advantage of a centralized economy is that these massive projects can be put into effect very quickly.

While buzzer beaters and upsets grab the headlines, what really captivates millions is their vested interest in office pools, rather than the performance of their favorite team or alma mater. For every person who enters an office pool, there's a good chance you will find another placing a bet on the tournament games over the Internet.

Without a way to legally enforce these guidelines under law, it's a good bet that the drug industry will continue giving short shrift to side effects and safety concerns in its advertising. Congress needs to act to ensure consumers and doctors know about all the potential safety problems with a drug, and not just the pretty picture industry wants to paint.

Well, this was really kind of out of the blue, ... I mean, Friday afternoon I was in my hotel room packing to go home because I thought even par would miss the cut. I actually bet Johnny Andrews (in the scoring trailer) $286.67 that I was going to miss, and I'll gladly pay him now.

We had hoped that we could give him a little help. But they shoot the ball so well, they have kids other than him that can shoot the ball from the perimeter which takes away some of the opportunity to help. We felt our best bet was to keep the ball out of his hands.

Utilities are the hottest bet at the moment. Investors are mulling who will make the next acquisition or get bought itself.

Usually, we have something bet on it. We usually have got to wear the other university's colors for about a week if your team loses.

With the (defensive) looks we're getting, I would bet we'll end up running the ball more than we did last year. We feel like we can operate whatever the defense allows.

We have a mishmash of players this year, ... No one knew who we were to start the season, but ask all the coaches now and I bet they know.

We have worked on it a lot. (Quarterback D.J.) Shockley just has great voice inflection. He's doing a great job of mixing up the cadence. I bet we're averaging three a game and maybe even more. We've gotten a bunch of people to jump offside just because of our cadence.

We were here a couple of days early, so I went over to a gym with him and we took shots and he didn't miss many. If you leave him open, you're in trouble. So the best bet is not to leave him open.

We were small back then. I can remember sitting down here and watching the first bet come in for $15,

Three jolly Farmers / Once bet a pound / Each dance the other would / Off the ground.

Trend is the friend in this market and certainly traders wouldn't like to bet against the commodity stocks in this environment.

Travel has high barriers to entry, ... This is more a classic bet on China as an emerging market.

Yeah, we think we have a chance to do some good things but if you ask 31 other quarterbacks around the league today, I bet they feel the exact same way as I do. They feel like their team will do something special this year. That's part of it. That's part of our game. Pretty much, we're all starting on an even playing field.

We didn't execute during crunch time. They did a good job of shadowing Will, which everybody is going to do, but my guys stopped trying to get the ball to him. I don't know how many shots he got in the fourth quarter, but I bet he didn't get more than a handful.

We haven't bet the farm on just Alaska. We have people all over the place. We are training wildlife biologists, rangers and, in some places, the public health officers as to what to look for.

You don't bet the farm but you need to be putting some money in as you find stocks that look attractive.

To have a chance, Lucas must both demonstrate he still has the fire in the belly to serve in Congress and succeed in making this race as much of a personal popularity contest as it can be. Still, you can bet Davis will seek to tie his opponent to his party label at every turn, and we give the freshman Republican an early leg up.

We are placing a very large bet on our ability to shift a significant part of our development to Asia, ... We are doing that more aggressively than any semiconductor company.

The pattern of the equity market lately is that it doesn't retain its bid for long. Bonds started to strengthen on a bet that stocks would weaken. It's rare that stocks hold a bid these days.

When they bet on the wrong person and lose, they do lose a little clout. If you're going to use your political capital that way, you better win. If you lose, you can pay dearly.

We played all-right defense. On offense, they didn't stop us, we stopped ourselves. Of the 31 shots we missed, I bet we missed 20 that were 2-feet or 1-foot.

We don't have T-shirts, yet, ... We're in the infancy stage. But you can bet we're working on it.

We won! We won! We won! Um, unfortunately, I bet on the other team - so we won't be going for pizza.

What intrigues me about it is if you really want to create a dominant urban network that really stresses diversity, you combine a cable station like BET with a network television station focusing on urban markets like UPN, ... It would be a very attractive venture.

We only scored 30 points. It was sloppy. If you would have told me that's what was going to happen, I would have bet you a million bucks we were going to lose.

With a 10-year-old of my own who loves basketball, she asks me questions all the time that make me wonder how she knew that. I bet that was what Cassie was doing at her age.

We know that 'Monday Night Football' is really popular out here because people bet on it. People who lose on the college games on Saturday and the pro games on Sunday try to make it all up on Monday night. That's a major factor in the popularity of 'Monday Night Football' across the country. People who have lost over the weekend try to get back to even. Whether they do or not is another story.

We will face 2006 with a strengthened team without changing its true nature. I believe there will not be any further new acquisitions. We will bet on young riders at their first year as pros.

When a company or individual compromises one time, whether it's on price or principle, the next compromise is right around the corner and you can bet your last nickel on it.

There has been less volatility overall on these numbers, and making the big bet has not really paid off.

We thought that these unfortunate revelations would put punters off but much to our surprise we have seen decent money for Shayne all day including a 300 bet placed at 10 am. It only goes to prove that whatever your background if you have the X factor you can go on and be successful.

We thought it was the greatest thing ever. He was not going to hit in this rain. I bet we waited seven or eight minutes, and he just stood there. Then they blew the siren, he marked his ball and we went inside. They washed out the round and the next day we re-paired in threes. I either didn't get him, or I had someone else with us so I wasn't as nervous about getting in his way.

We basically funded this on our own and began pursuing the Union Pacific business, ... That was really a bet, a bet that this is really going to work, that this is going to be great product.

With Pete's book and admitting all the things that a lot of people didn't know he had done - they really believed he hadn't bet on baseball - I think that kind of upset a lot of people that were rooting hard for Pete, ... The fact that he did bet on it, and what he was accused of he did, didn't contribute much to his possibility of getting voted in.

Yet though my lamp burns low and dim, / Though I must slave for livelihood - / Think you that I would change with him? / You bet I would!

The question that customers ask themselves is, Can I bet the farm on this platform?

This will certainly open up the sport to a lot of people who might not just go directly to a track to bet on horses. That's where we see significant growth opportunities.
