Pretty easy to fix the game when you bet against yourself.

Tagline for Pig: The Movie: “Never bet on pink.”

This is like life insurance where you bet that you’ll die.

A pessimist is never disappointed.

This is one of those “All Cretans are liars” things. If he loses, he wins his bet, so he doesn’t lose. But if he wins, he loses his bet, so he doesn’t win…

Pig, be positive! Pig replies " O.K., I’m positive I’m a loser!"

Pig bets on getting some cheese.

I just want one little sign that puts me much closer to my goal of breaking into animation.

bet a million dollars on yourself to live and if you don’t live , what do you care. you’re dead and don’t have to pay.

Aww … after reading this one, I want to give Pig a hug.
