In the book The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County by Mark Twain

Hey, this quote from the story should do. Let me know if you don't understand!

"he was the curiousest man about always betting on anything that turned up you ever see, if he could get anybody to bet on the other side; and if he couldn't he'd change sides. Any way that suited the other man would suit him any way just so's he got a bet, he was satisfied. But still he was lucky, uncommon lucky; he most always come out winner."
