High-stakes drama unfolds: why 'Bet' is your next must-watch series
Miku Martineau as Yumeko in Netflix's latest teen-drama, "Bet". Image: Instagram. Netflix's latest series, "Bet", has become a binge-worthy obsession of viewers, including me. This gripping adaptation of the Japanese manga, "Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler", offers not just high-stakes gambling but a thrilling narrative steeped in dark revenge and moral dilemmas. "Bet" follows Yumeko (Miku Martineau), a transfer student at an elite boarding school. The students are children of leaders who run the world, underground and otherwise. They are taught how to be as ruthless as their parents are in hopes of one day ruling the world too. But here's the twist: At St. Dominic's Prep, underground gambling dictates their social order. The Top 10 best gamblers are part of the school's student council. Yumeko needs to be here. Yumeko, a skilled gambler herself, challenges the established hierarchy and the school's power structure - she intends to bring the school to its knees. But let's backtrack a bit. Yumeko's parents attended St. Dominic's Prep. They were murdered when she was just a little girl. She watched as they waved goodbye to her before jumping into their car, which was engulfed in flames. Now a young adult, the flames of revenge ignite within her core. She wants to know who ordered the hit on her parents and will go to any extent to avenge their deaths. In one episode, she constructs a bomb in her dorm room, places it under the seat of the man she thinks is responsible for her parents' deaths. Luckily for him, the bomb was defective. Later, she finds out he isn't the killer. Yumeko can't do this alone, so she's got a few sidekicks, Ryan, Mary and Michael, who later turns on her after finding out that his mafia father could be the killer. After several high-stakes bets, Yumeko finally makes the Top 10, and now the real game begins. Yumeko is faced with difficult truths about who killed her parents, as for how she handles it ... Well, I won't spoil it. What I will say is that "Bet" expertly intertwines elements of suspense, strategy, and personal drama, leaving viewers addicted and begging for another season.

Jose Riveiro reveals the real reason he left Orlando Pirates?
Earlier this year, Jose Riveiro dropped a bombshell when he announced that he would not extend his stay when his contract at Orlando Pirates expired. At the time he made the announcement, the Buccaneers were well poised to win at least two trophies, but poor form saw the team finish with just the MTN8, which they won at the beginning of the season. After losing the Nedbank Cup final on 10 May, Jose Riveiro asked the Pirates management to release him early as he had already signed with a new club. At the time, the Sea Robbers had nothing to play for with the league already out of reach. The Spaniard won five trophies in three seasons and while most coaches would want to continue winning, Riveiro chose to leave. He did make a hint last year when he mentioned how far he was away from his family. Having joined Al Ahly, the 49-year-old has revealed that his wife's dream is to live in Egypt as she adores the culture. 'I am married and have a 6-year-old daughter, and I'm very happy that she's part of my life,' he told Al Ahly TV. '[I am] thrilled that she'll have the opportunity to come live in Egypt. 'My wife loves Egypt and adores Egyptian culture, and her father used to work in Egypt,' Riveiro concluded. Jose Riveiro might have had success at Pirates, but time away from his family took a toll on him. Given Egypt is much closer to Spain, it makes sense why he decided to relocate and coach in North Africa. His wife's love for Egypt made his decision to leave Pirates muach easier.
