I would bet you there weren't more than 20 or 30 people who read it.

I would bet - well, I'm not a betting man - but I feel 99.9 per cent confident that I had possession of the ball and that I was down by contact. I went over to the official and told him I had possession, that you guys have got to review that.

I would bet the television ads are being made. Oakland was his only hope of shedding his soft on crime image.

I would bet the farm on it because I know what is happening on the ground.

I would bet that one of the two will do that when this gets closer to crunch time and the pressure gets too heavy, ... it's always better to have two people say 'That was him. I saw him steal the wallet.''

I would bet that Kyle's not ready to go this week. I'll wait on the doctors, but that one we're most assured of. What the time frame is beyond the week I couldn't say, but I can almost guarantee without being a doctor that Kyle won't go this week.

I would bet that Kyle is not ready to go this week; I'll wait on the doctors, but that one we're most assured of, ... What the time frame is beyond a week, I couldn't say. I can almost guarantee you -- without being a doctor -- that Kyle won't go this week.

I would bet on Haile. He is a smart guy, he has learned a lot about tactics.

If they are removed, you can bet they were removed for a good reason.

If this is not the best tournament in the state, I'd like to see what is. I bet there's 10 to 12 quality teams there that could win it, if they get hot.

If we continue wrestling with all the heart and courage we have, I wouldn't bet against us. Our studs give us a chance to be in it, but it is our background guys, the guys that normally don't get their names in the paper that have stepped up and made us better.

I didn't bet at that time in my life. I have no problem wagering on the game now.

I'd be willing to bet this is going to be the No. 1 line on the whole 1040 that gets messed up. There are a lot of partnerships and pass-through entities that qualify ... there are more people affected by this line than you might think.

I'd bet on Ben's ability to see what was coming around the next corner over just about anybody else.

I bet you can play some bad-ass Madden on it,

I bet you anything we're back around that 21,000 figure this year. Our numbers will be where they've always been except for last year. Last year was nothing but the weather.

I bet you 60 percent of their points came within five feet easily. We need to get physical inside, and we don't. We are very soft and timid.

I bet the people who are in the auto industry right now have more than 10,000 good ideas about what might work and what we need to do is not come up with more good ideas. We need to go and test as many of those good ideas as possible.

I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!

I bet that really did stimulate contributions a lot. The censure resolution, and lack of any other Democrat backing it, really put a lot of Bush-haters onto Feingold.

I bet Rhode Island is getting very nervous.

I bet people would be surprised to learn that they are closer to home ownership than they think.

I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye.

I bet no other coach has been able to do that.

I bet Miami would have been happy just to beat North Carolina any way they could have. We won -- that's all it comes down to.

I bet it would stop some people in their shoes if they were expecting to put not much down payment into it. It would make fewer buyers qualify for the high end, and when it comes to the middle market it would make buyers think twice about how they would finance it.

I bet it was pretty hard to pick up girls if you had the Black Death.

I bet if you asked McCarthy about pitching in the bullpen, developing, getting his feet wet and learning a new tool to make himself an asset to the organization and to benefit himself, or whether he wants to go to Triple-A and pitch, you know the answer.

I bet if one of them got that fine, they would get back on the sidewalks,

I bet if I knocked on one door with bullet holes, I knocked on a hundred.

I bet if I asked anyone in this room, 'Who would you report an electronic crime to in the Police?', no one would know. We are ignorant of the size of the problem. There is a real lack of meaningful statistics.

I bet he was going 75 or 80 miles an hour right then.

I bet he runs about a 4.5, 4.6 (40-yard dash). And he's not afraid to hit you. He'll go down and make tackles. We're lucky in that regard. Not only that, but we're lucky in our protection. He's got quick feet, so he can slide across the line and pick up overloads. And his hands are so fast. He's just a great athlete.

I bet a lot of people didn't think I would be back on the national team.

I bet $5,000, ... Kido calls and raises $20,000. The other guy and I call the $20,000 rather quickly, hoping that it goes check-check on the river.

They're all in the record shops buying the CD, and, while they're there, there's a good chance they'll buy another one. I'll bet Richard Ashcroft sold a few more copies last week than he might have done otherwise.

I hate to say it, but maybe there's a bet that if Kerry wins, (former Secretary of the Treasury) Robert Rubin will take over as Fed chairman, and the market would like that.

I feel like I'm accustomed to Spring Training. It's like, just hurry up and get it over with. Let's start it up again and strap it on. I'm really eager. You can bet I'm going to do well.

If we talk about next year, I think over 2,000 buildings are going to be converted. By looking at real estate agents' multiple listings service, and by looking at buildings for sale that are six units or less, you can bet that most of those are going to be converted.

If those numbers come in as expected, you can pretty much bet on a seeing a major rally in the markets. The expectations will be that, so long as wages are tame, the Fed will bide their time and leave rates alone.

He had more to lose than at any time in his career. Dell bet the company that they would take (market) share and their competitors would not match it. . . . They were right. It was the boldest move they've ever done.

He has bet his governorship on these initiatives. He has pushed all of his chips to the middle of the table, and if these initiatives don't pass, it is difficult to see him seeking another term.

He has bet his governorship on these initiatives, ... He has pushed all of his chips to the middle of the table, and if these initiatives don't pass, it is difficult to see him seeking another term.

We've gone through a lot this week in terms of getting ready for the Fed, ... We've got some important news at 2:00 on Tuesday and obviously you're not going to make a huge bet in front of that. However, we seem to be in good shape for that announcement.

He's a tremendous talent and I would never bet against him.

He's a sponge. You can show him how to make adjustments, and he does it. He's a student.

He wants to learn as much as he possibly can.

When I did it, it was more of 'You're a heck of an athlete. Whatever you put your mind to, you can get it done.' That's really what I was trying to say.

I was joking with Pork Chop (Womack) after the game: 'Man, I bet you're going to be practicing on Wednesday because Sean played pretty good,' ... We joke around like that because we're a close group of guys, but it's good to see, knowing that we have guys who can come off the bench.
