I would love to ask you for help. I am not totally sure about this sentence: An old soccer ball was soon passed around (into/behind/among/forward) the players, eventually to (throw/has been thrown/be thrown/have been thrown) - I would choose among .. and be thrown but I am not totally sure. And the last thing: Are you goint to the party? It�s going to be great, I believe. (You see/ I bet/You bet/It is not your day. I would choose I bet?
Thank you for your help.

I think the answer to the second one is "You bet", which is an expression (especially in Minnesota, but definitely used all over) that means "definitely".
Are you going to the party? It �s going to be great, I believe.
You bet!
You �re correct on the first one.

Bruce, you are right, that is what I meant, I didn �t look at Danka �s answer properly. Sorry!!
EDIT: Thinking about it, why not "I bet", Bruce? It would show a little less conviction, but would it be incorrect? By the way, thank you so much for always being so helpful to everyone. Your always give wonderful answers.
