Reception
''StarPulse'' rated the film favorably, writing "Light, fluffy, but also very witty in its writing, "''A Bet's A Bet''" is harmless enjoyable fun fare." ''Interia Film'' heavily criticized the film, as they felt that there was no chemistry between its lead stars and that the film's comedy was outdated.
