In 1981 had The Bet in België een bescheiden hit te pakken met “Don't Talk to the Liar”. Datzelfde jaar brachten ze hun debuutalbum uit, “Facing Fate” (EMI), dat relatief goed ontvangen werd. De plaat werd opgenomen in het Engelse Strawberry Studios in een productie van Martin Lawrence, de geluidstechnicus van onder meer 10cc en Barclay James Harvest.
Een tweede album “Second Arrow” (EMI) verscheen in 1983. Het album werd opgenomen met een nieuwe bassist, Wilfried Van Dijck, in de ICP-studios in Brussel. De singles “Roll On” en "Sometimes" bewijzen dat het opnieuw een plaat is ‘vol subtiele pop met ingrediënten van rock en westcoast, af en toe gekruid met een beetje funk’, zoals OOR's Pop Encyclopedie het album destijds omschreef. Het verdiende succes bleef echter uit waarop The Bet het voor bekeken hield.
In het midden van de jaren negentig maakte The Bet naast andere Belpop-bands als Red Zebra en Toy een weinig succesvolle comeback met de release van “Wysiwyg” (Alora, 1994).
Frontman Marc Vanhie stortte zich op het produceren van andermans werk. Zo schreef en produceerde hij de single "True Love Is Tough" voor zangeres Sarah. Ook werkte hij, samen met Beverly Jo Scott, zeer actief mee aan de come-back van Paul Michiels (Soulsister) op diens laatste album.

What about the bet and the ideologies of the both, the banker's and the lawyer's? Did the lawyer accept that capital punishment is better than life imprisonment? Is that why he despise the money now because now he found the meaning of living?

I think what happened is that the opinions of both the lawyer(prisoner) and the banker(old man) changed completely. The lawyer used to argue that life in prison is better than death penalty, but now he believes that life and its blessings are "worthless, fleeting, illusory, and deceptive." He also renounced the two million for which he put his freedom at stake years ago.
The banker, who used to believe that life imprisonment was inhumane and even more immoral than death penalty now believes that it is a great deal better and more humane than death penalty. He saw the lawyer transform into a highly intellectual and spiritual person during the lawyer's solitary imprisonment. In the end, when the banker read the prisoner's note which censured humans for their avarice and wrong priorities, he felt so much respect for the prisoner that he "kissed the [prisoner] on the head" and "felt [a] great contempt for himself" because he was one of the people who were controlled by their avarice for the fleeting and deceptive matererialistic things of the world. He considered the prisoner and his priorities superior to the regular humans and understood that life, no matter in what circumstances, is better than no life. Life gives you a chance to grow and transform yourself, while death puts a stop to your story.
I think the other way to look at this is that as time passed, both men became a little unsure about their opinions. That's because the were naive and unexperienced when they made the bet, and hence had very strong opinions. Later, with experience, they learned that reality was a mix of both of their opinions.
