What it is about
Money is tight, so when a room turns up at a price that is almost too low, he takes it. His new housemates are two very attractive women, and unknown to him they have made a wager: whoever seduces him first wins. The synopsis adds one more line, that not everything is as it seems, which suggests the bet is not the whole story.
What works on paper
- A built-in contest. Two roommates competing for the same man gives the series a scoreboard, and competition is an easy way to escalate across five episodes.
- A suspicious start. The cheap room is a nice touch. From the first moment, the viewer knows something is off before the hero does.
- A promised twist. “Not all is as it seems” is vague, but it is more than most synopses offer, and it gives a reason to keep going past the free episodes.
What to be wary of
A promised twist is still only a promise. The synopsis does not hint at what the surprise is, and a bet between roommates is a familiar comedy setup. If the reveal turns out to be minor, what remains is a pleasant but ordinary house-share story. Candy tags the series Nympho only, and we have not rated it on our explicitness scale yet.
Price and preview
Episodes 1 and 2 are free and let you judge the setup: the room, the two roommates and whether the bet is fun or tiresome. The 3 locked episodes cost 12 tokens each, 36 tokens altogether. That is about $1.44 on the yearly plan, $3.24 on the quarterly plan or $5.04 monthly; our cost guide explains why.
Who it suits
It suits viewers who like light, comic setups, a pair of women taking the lead and a story with a reveal waiting at the end. If you prefer something darker, or a series with a rating to go on, there are safer picks.
Similar series
The obvious comparison is My Roommates are Thirsty!, another Nympho-tagged roommate story at 36 tokens, also not rated yet. The Nun in Our Guest Room has a houseguest angle, going by its title, and is rated 3 out of 5. For a licensed performer, Student Bodies carries the Nympho tag with Bonnie Blue, rated 3 out of 5, at 90 tokens to finish.
Verdict
My Roommates Made a Bet has a playful premise with a hook and a hint of a twist. It is unrated and the surprise is unknown, but the setup is more lively than many of its neighbors. Try the free episodes and see whether the bet hooks you.
