Finishes: Colors & Stains

The phrase "all bets are off" originated in the world of gambling and betting. It is used to indicate that previously established rules or agreements no longer apply, and that a situation is now unpredictable or uncertain.

(used when the outcome of a situation is too uncertain to predict): We have to make it to the meeting place by 5:30 or all bets are off. The individual ingredients may be safe, but once you mix them up into a brew, all bets are off.
