The Best Bet~

Just finished wathing another Jack Neo show...The Best Bet...this show is not comedy...it's more serious...but interesting...dunno why...aha...but not bad la...a lot of hokkien though...the theme song osso in hokkien...



The story is about gambling and ah longs and friendship...4-D, toto...
3 friends...one "runs" a bak kuh teh shop... notice the inverted commas?? haha...he doesnt run it..he just sits in front of it while his younger sister does the work... the other 2 got fired frm their jobs...very malas to type the whle synopsis...hehe...so I did what I was gud at...and that is to "copy & paste"....wakakaka....


It's everyone's dream in life to strike lottery at least once. For some, it has even become their 'lifetime career' to make this dream come true. Richard (Richard Low), Shun (Christopher Lee) and Huang (Mark Lee) are best of friends in The Best Bet.
Richard, a white-collar executive, aims to be a good father and a good husband. However, indecisive and wimpy, he is easily influenced by the people around him. Chen Liping plays Richard's wife who is extremely meticulous on money matters, especially when it comes to anything that has to do with Shun and Huang. Shun works with Richard in the same company.
Unlike Richard, Shun is ambitious, outspoken and full of ideas. However, persistently down on his luck, Shun seldom succeeds in what he does. Huang owns a Bak Kut Teh stall. A 'super gambler', Huang not only places heavy bets on 4D, he also part-time as a debt collector for the '4D King'. It is his sister, Hui Min (Joanne Peh), who sees to the running of the Bak Kut Teh business.
The Best Bet revolves around Richard, Shun and Huang whose friendships are put to a test when one of them struck 4D and decides to keep the winnings all to himself. What consequences will his choice have on this friendship? A satirical comedy, which explores the greed, deceit and also the triumph of the human spirits, The Best Bet is about the consequence of our choices, and the path it will take us once we cross that threshold.

Not a bad show...I guess I am a fan of Jack Neo's shows...thnks to Vin...my Jack Neo resource..haha...he was the one who introduced Jack Neo...hehehe...

TTFN~~
