I like to bet on people, especially those who have taken risks and failed in some way, because they have more real-world experience. And they're humble.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you bet on individuals instead of the people, you are going to fail.
I bet on the game of baseball and I bet on my team, even the mistakes I made, I have to take a different look at someone betting against their own team... that's throwing the game.
I like when people take chances.
There's a touch of the gambler in anybody really competitive and somebody that's willing to concede that to succeed, sometimes you need to cut corners and to make bold choices.
Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves.
Who do you think I am, Pete Rose? I don't bet. I come from a long line of compulsive gamblers. Gambling scares me.
I'm not really a betting person. I work too hard for my money to give it away.
With gamblers, it's never enough. You keep thinking on a conscious level that the prize is whatever the pot is. In poker, you may have a certain goal for the day. But the truth is, as soon as you win, more often than not the first thing that comes to mind is: If I'd bet more, I would have won more.
Life is a gamble, at terrible odds - if it was a bet you wouldn't take it.
If I'm not going to bet on myself, why would anyone else bet on me.
