    TVB's new series, "Best Bet" ??????will be broadcast on Monday, February 12th, during the Lunar New Year time slot. Produced by Lee Tim Sing, the series features Michael Tse Tin Wah, Linda Chung Ka Yan, Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung, Anne Heung Hoi Nam, Chan Hoi Yee, Gordon Liu Ka Fai, Carlo Ng Ka Lok etc. Wayne plays Michael's nemesis in the series and there will be plenty of chance for the two lead actors to face-off their acting skills!

    Michael's character, Hor Yi, is from one of Foshan's wealthiest families. Loving all forms of gambling, Michael always wins and spends all his free time at gambling establishments. One time, he gambled for 3 days and 3 nights, and due to lack of rest, he fell unconscious.

    After completing her studies abroad, Linda's character, Lai Ying, returns to Foshan and saves the unconscious Michael. Michael falls in love with Linda at first sight. Under various circumstances, the two become husband and wife. Since Linda hates gambling, she encourages Michael to quit his bad habits.

    Wayne's character, Tak Sing, is the young master at the local gambling establishment. Due to Linda, Michael and Wayne became archrivals. Michael falls into a trap and loses his family assets, even losing his wife, Linda, in his gambling bet!

    Linda leaves Foshan with a broken heart, but Michael does not change his gambling ways. At this time, the government sets an anti-gambling agenda, with Michael and Wayne about to be beheaded!

    Anyone know if gambling is the main theme? And is it the kind of realistic gambling/cheating gambling or supernatural gambling?
