Professional poker players', Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Laak, have created a new TV show called "I Bet You." The premise is that they take their gambling addiction away from the felt and out into their daily lives. The entire show centers around them making wagers on various tasks and thus trading wads of money which are tallied up to show who is ahead.
These wages include betting on who can get to a certain destination faster, what type of panties a random female is wearing, who can earn more tips bartending for an hour, and who can blow closer to the legal limit of .08 on a breathalyser. It's not a bad idea for a show but it's painfully obvious that this is going to get old very quickly. Antonio and Phil have great chemistry though, as they are real life best friends, so the show may have some legs. (at least briefly) If you're not familiar with these two as the poker characters that they are, then the show may go right over your head. Don't expect much from "I Bet You," but it was somewhat entertaining. We'll see what the future holds and if the show deviates at all from the repetition it portrayed in the premiere.
The show airs on a channel called MOJO which I've yet to hear of. At any rate the premiere episode is available on their website.
I Bet you

Great assessment. I actually caught this show while surfing and was entertained until the commercial came. It didn't draw my attention enough to go back.
