Subject: atw: In search of a catch phrase [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Not a tech writing question, so maybe appropriate for a Friday. I'm
trying to remember a colloquial phrase for a highly probable occurrence
that goes something like 'you can bet a Ferrari to an old boot that
...', except that I put in 'Ferrari' - and I'm not quite sure if I
invented the old boot too or if that was in the original. Anyway, I
think you probably get what I'm after. I'm sure there must be lots of
variants, but couldn't think of a good search phrase to use to find them
on Google or other dictionaries of idioms or whatever.

Any suggestions?

Howard
