The individual skill of the player determines the outcome, unlike betting on the horses or betting on the lottery. It's not an individual betting against the house and that's an important distinction.

John Pappas

Betting against gold is the same as betting on governments. He who bets on governments and government money bets against 6,000 years of recorded human history.

Charles de Gaulle

I saw one of the absolute truths of this world: each person is worrying about himself; no one is worrying about you. He or she is worrying about whether you like him, not whether he likes you. He is worrying about whether he looks prepossessing, not whether you are dressed correctly. He is worrying about whether he appears poised, not whether you are. He is worrying about whether you think well of him, not whether he thinks well of you. The way to be yourself ... is to forget yourself.

Jo Coudert

You can walk as carefully as you want through a mine field; it is still a mine field. But it's also true that if you step up to the plate worrying that you're going to strike out, the odds are that you're going to strike out. Not doing a large ambitious work because you're convinced that Danger Lurks Around Every Corner, the old 'I might be dead this time next year,' is a waste of the Inner Radiance that found you. It's like life insurance. It's betting against yourself. It's blowing out your own flame before someone beats you to it.

Dave Sim

Everybody's got a worldview. Everybody's betting their life on something. ... You just better know why you're betting what you're betting on.

Rick Warren

Constantly worrying about your reflection and criticizing your body, shape and size is an act of violence against yourself.

Emma Thompson

Jesus said, "I am the way to heaven." I'm betting that he's not a liar. I'm betting that he told the truth.

Rick Warren

The Chinese government does not like people betting against the yuan.

Anthony Scaramucci

When it comes to betting on yourself... you're a chicken-livered coward if you hesitate.

B. C. Forbes

Betting against entrepreneurs who are changing the world has never been a profitable endeavor.

Chamath Palihapitiya

Betting that markets will be 'volatile' is like betting the weather will be partly cloudy. It's a smart-sounding strategy that doesn't mean much.

Kelly Evans

You're better off betting on a horse than betting on a man. A horse may not be able to hold you tight, but he doesn't wanna wander from the stable at night.

Betty Grable

The second-worst thing in the world is betting on a golf game and losing. The worst is not betting at all.

Bobby Riggs

I understand it is 13-8 against Egon Ronay publishing a Good Betting Shop Food Guide by 1997.

Clement Freud

The threat has changed from simply worrying about foreigners coming here, to worrying about people in the United States, American citizens - raised here, born here, and who for whatever reason, have decided that they are going to become radicalized and take up arms against the nation in which they were born.

Eric Holder

Betting on the success of innovative technologies in the marketplace can carry all the uncertainty and risk that betting on the next card in the deck does at a blackjack table in Las Vegas. There is a factor of randomness that must be factored in, but precisely how to do so is anyone's guess.
