Betting Quotes - Page 5

• The model we established was to give creative people complete creative freedom in exchange for betting on themselves, so they work for the minimums you're allowed to work for, and if the movies work in a big way, everyone does very well. If the movies don't, nobody loses too much money. The benefit to doing all the movies low budget is we can tell different types of stories and take creative risks. The Purge would have been irresponsible to do for $20M, but to do it for $3M makes sense.

• Toda votación es una especie de juego, como las damas o el backgammon, con un ligero tinte moral, un juego con el bien y el mal, con cuestiones morales; y las apuestas naturalmente lo acompañan. El carácter de los votantes no está en juego. Yo emito mi voto, tal vez, como creo que es correcto; pero no me preocupa vitalmente que prevalezca lo correcto. Estoy dispuesto a dejarlo en manos de la mayoría.

• This intelligence, or what I'll call "the wisdom of crowds," is at work in the world in many different guises. It's the reason the Internet search engine Google can scan a billion Web pages and find the one page that has the exact piece of information you were looking for. It's the reason it's so hard to make money betting on NFL games, and it helps explain why, for the past fifteen years, a few hundred amateur traders in the middle of Iowa have done a better job of predicting election results than Gallup polls have.

• Let me be clear: Any new approach must ensure the integrity of the game. One of my most important responsibilities as commissioner of the NBA is to protect the integrity of professional basketball and preserve public confidence in the league and our sport. I oppose any course of action that would compromise these objectives. But I believe that sports betting should be brought out of the underground and into the sunlight where it can be appropriately monitored and regulated

• If a betting game among a certain number of participants I played long enough, eventually one player will have all the money. If there is any skill involved, it will accelerate the process of concentrating all the stakes in a few hands. Something like this happens in the market. There is a persistent overall tendency for equity to flow from the many to the few. In the long run, the majority loses. The implication for the trader is that to win you have to act like the minority. If you bring normal human habits and tendencies to trading, you'll gravitate toward the majority and inevitably lose.

• 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.

• Here’s my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? I’m betting not.

• Son las guerras... cualquier cosa menos el medio por el que se solucionan los problemas de una nación, por el que se estimula la creación... ahí tienes la aventura. Pero no hay aventura en el cara o cruz, en apostar a que el sorteo saldrá a vida o muerte. La guerra no es una aventura. Es una enfermedad. Es como el tifus.

• Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, "You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.

• Para orgullo de los habitantes del Distrito 12, nadie aplaude. Ni siquiera los que tienen boletos de apuestas, a los que normalmente no les importa nada. Posiblemente porque me conocen del Hob, o conocieron a mi padre, o se han encontrado con Prim, al que nadie podía dejar de querer. Así que en lugar de agradecer los aplausos, permanezco inmóvil mientras ellos participan en la forma más audaz de disidencia que pueden lograr. El silencio. Que dice que no estamos de acuerdo. No lo aprobamos. Todo esto está mal.
