Odds Quotes from:

Against Quotes
It's against the Justice Department's interest to have Judge Jackson make an immediate remedy decision because that increases the odds that he would be reversed on appeal. There is a fair chance that experts who have already submitted affidavits in the case will be called as witnesses and there will be a mini-trial that revolves around remedies.
-
Increasing Quotes
It remains to be seen whether this latest really will be upstaged by this week's EIA inventory reports. We think not; the markets are grappling with three simultaneous geopolitical hotspots right now, increasing the odds that at least one -- if not all three -- of these situations will override the potentially bearish consequence of an inventory increase.

Average Quotes
It's hard to imagine that there will be a move towards yanking that guarantee, or weakening the implied guarantee, because it just makes too much sense for the average U.S. citizen. Their benefit is they save money on the mortgage rate because of Fannie and Freddie's status, but bear the risk of either or both of these businesses going bankrupt. The odds of that are so small that the benefit, in my view, greatly outweighs the cost, and it's hard to see Congress changing that story. And Fannie and Freddie's debt is the really the cheapest form of debt outside of Treasury debt.

Believe Quotes
Nothing has really changed. I'm going to play my best. This is a contract year so I'm going to give it all I've got. I still believe that the odds of me being here by the All-Star break are pretty much zero. If I do get traded, hopefully I'd go to a contender. To be honest, I'm actually tired of talking about it.

Against Quotes
I want the whole player back. You have to guard against letting him get out there and trying to force too much or letting him do too much early. It's nice to see and I'm really happy that he's back out there running around, because when it happened, there was a lot of talk that some guys never come back from this. It looks like he's beating the odds right now.

Assessment Quotes
The new element of exiling players to a deserted island where they have an opportunity to work independently to win immunity may present many surprises about who can outlast the rest. We based our odds on the personalities of the past winners and our assessment of the new contestants - but with new game design, the profile of the winner could change significantly, making this anyone's game.

April Quotes
The NCAA basketball season is really heating up and with conference play in full swing fan and betting interest is really picking up. I'm sure these odds will continue to change throughout the season, but there are already some surprises. For fans who bet on Florida at 100-1 or Memphis at 50-1 earlier this year, there could be a huge payout come April 3.

Against Quotes
I'm trying to show how much the odds are stacked against her. You want to know something interesting? Most polls show that's the case. . . . I don't know how true it is that the No. 1 issue for women in the United States is security, and that women have polled as being more in favor of a man being in charge of the nation's security than a woman.

Baseball Quotes
I'm very proud of him, ... For me, personally, he's certainly one of our very best stories and one of the best baseball stories we've had. I'm always impressed by guys who beat long odds. When you hear these stories of guys who were undrafted as juniors and have beaten the odds by long shots, I think they're great stories.

Agree Quotes
If you would have taken a poll of all of Phelps County at the start of the season and asked if we would win 15 games, you might have had maybe ten people agree with that. I think these kids really defied the odds and put together a nice season. We won 15 games, and that's something these kids can hang their hat on. It's something that no one can take away from them. I'm very proud of them.

Against Quotes
It helped us understand that all of the hype around the game is totally unimportant unless you enjoy it. Don't fight it and don't get nervous about it: enjoy it. I had a great time the week of the Ohio State game. I had never been to that stadium and I was like a kid walking in there like a fan. It was fun for our group to have all the odds against us because that doesn't happen very much for us. And that's where we are again. We've earned the right to be here but the odds are against us. And that's a good position for us to be in.

Independent Quotes
The fact that you couldn't see Alfred Hitchcock's first film The Mountain Eagle, or that you couldn't see so many of F.W. Murnau's masterpieces, or that you couldn't see so many of Oscar Micheaux's really intriguing race melodramas, made with fierce independent spirit against all odds in '20s and '30s America. That stuff haunted me. They really did bring to life a sense of 20th Century history: cultural history, pop history, gender politics and race politics, socio economic history, all that stuff. It was bracing and instructive.
