How to use guessing in a sentence?

1. Loren Weisman:

   When you treat your business or dream like a living, breathing baby… You’ll make better decisions and wiser choices. Stop, shortcutting, second guessing and buying into the unproven hype. Your dreams deserve more.

2. Jon Stewart:

   That is probably — he says that instead of ‘ please, ’ I ’m guessing.

3. Dan Pendergast:

   When it starts to snow, you will get that initial snow to melt on the road and you are going to have traffic rolling over the road and more snow, the snow starts compacting and bonding to the road. You're not going to get it off, there's not a heck of a lot you can do because you're not going to be able to get the chemicals down and I'm guessing those areas don't have the equipment we have here, like the icebreakers and really good cutting-edge equipment. We have 800 plows in the state, 200 in the metro area, Atlanta and Virginia are probably going to have 40 or less.

4. Chris Olave:

   Hes also very patient and fluid with his route running. He keeps the defense guessing. Hes an excellent vertical threat. Its going to be a challenge, of course.

5. Andrew Cuomo:

   There are a lot of variables. I understand that. We didnt know what the social distancing would actually amount to. I get it, but we were all wrong, so, Im sort of out of the guessing business, right? We watched the numbers. We prepare as the numbers drop, so when the number actually hits the threshold, were ready to go. We just finished that. Were in the midst of that with Long Island, Mid-Hudson region, etc. But... I dont want to guess.
