Apuesta por un Amor

This is a fabulous telenovela! I have even given this one to friends as a gift. I enjoyed this one from beginning to end. Some of the episodes are condensed but it really doesn't hurt the continuity of the video. This video was filmed in the Yucatan area and the scenery is breathtaking. I would highly recommend this video. This is a beautiful as well as entertaining video. The actors are attractive also. This is one of best!

Like Refugio del amor, I have enjoyed Apuesta por un Amor because it has helped me to become fluent in Spanish in just 5 months. I relax, riding my bicycle, and just enjoy. I find that if I use subtitles or try to understand each word, I get lost and don't get anything at all. By just listening, huge blocks of the language flow into my mind, and I learn whole expressions and sentences. Apuesto por un Amor is not the greatest plot, but it's fun. Like the other telenovelas I've watched, or listened to, I learn so much about the culture - what the Spanish-speaking consumers want from a film. I guess el sábado gigante on T.V. says it all - la gente (people) want a film that's ¡muy emocionante! I've never seen so many people cry so much! I wonder if they have some sort of fluid the actor can make flow from his eyes in huge streams. In any case, I have the impression that it's okay for Mexican men to cry, and I think that's not a bad thing.

I would have to say this is one the novelas that has you hooked from begining to end. There so mush that was not on the DVD that had to be there to really enjoy and get the whole story. But I loved every minute of it. I was disappointed that I didn't hear Luis Miguel singing his song, I always say you have to have the original song to go with it. I would recommend this one. But I think they needed to add more of the scenes to really enjoy the story.

This is a fast paced and wonderful love story. It has english subtitles . I wish Televisa would stop editing these stories and put them out as originally done.. Even with the editing it was great to watch.

The mexican soap opera was one of the best that I have ever seen. While it was being aired I caught about 90% of it. I was so disapointed after I complety watch the dvd in full. It as nearly a third of it cut out. Most of the non critical scenes were deleted. Everything about Julia's sister Soledad was basically deleted. The part where she tries to play it off like she's pregnant by Gabriel was deleted. Everything about here having to choose between Samuel, and Leandro was deleted. Ever thing about Alvaro mis treating Lucero was deleted and just about everything about Lucero and Ramon was cut out. Everything about Julia and Sebastian's almost relationship was deleted. The whole funeral scene where Julia's first son dies is gone. Most of Nadia and Alvaro relationship hardly happend. This was just a huge disapointment for me. Please let me know if there is anywhere where I can get a full length version of it.

Exelente Telenovela!!! En cuanto a la Edicion esta Muy Bien Hecha. No se notan defasajes, cortes bruscos ni mucho menos se pierde el hilo de la Historia. Lo que si note es que no tiene el tema oficial de la Novela, la cancion de Luis Miguel, Que Seas Feliz. Tiene un Instrumental, que no esta tan mal, la verdad se me hizo muy divertido y no me disgusta, al igual que me di cuenta que no contiene la musica incidental original, pero tiene otra que es muy agradable, ni se nota, ya que quitaron la original para poner la nueva, no como en otras ediciones que ponen una encima de la otra. Un Error que encontre en la Contratapa es el hecho de no tener el Nombre de Fabian Robles/Alvaro y Carmen Becerra/Nadia, en el Elenco, cosa que me molesto un poco, ya que es Fabian Robles es el Villano Principal de la Telenovela al igual que Carmen Becerra, que hizo un Exelente Papel Antagonico, en la Entrada esta el nombre de Fabian Robles, pero no el de Carmen Becerra, ya que ella ingreso al elenco tiempo despues y quedo en lugar de Alejandra Avalos/Cassandra, pero en la tapa trasera del Dvd no estan estos 2 nombres, detalle importante, para tener en cuenta, sobre todo los editores del Dvd. Tambien note que no esta la escena de la apuesta que Gabriel hace con Justo, en la cual le gana el Diamante, es la segunda escena de la Novela, en la transmision original, pero en el Dvd la quitaron, y al tiempo aparece Justo a vengarse, cosa que si uno no la vio antes, no entiende porque reaparece. Esta Produccion cuenta con un Gran Elenco y se nota el gran trabajo y la destreza de los actores, en cuanto a sus actuaciones, es una Novela muy buena y que ademas te mantiene pendiente, y en ningun momento pierde la emocion, la adrenalina, eso fue lo que me gusto mucho y el motivo por el cual la vi y la compre. Me hubiese gustado que el Resumen tubiera Mas Horas, algun Extras, Bloopers, Entrevistas, Detras de Camaras etc... Solo tiene una Galeria Fotografica, Trayectoria de Actores y un Trailer, que por cierto, es otro error que se les paso y se les olvido poner que lo trae en los Extras jaja.

this novela is OK. the only worthwhile performances are Alejandra Avalos and Eric Castillo and Fabian Robles. Juan Soler and Paty Manterola are not convincing, but sure tell each like 100 times they love each other , then Paty says I hate you, I'll never believe her acting. Also, there's too much violence, too many characters get killed off. If you can handle that. Fabian Robles is awesome ! He is so wicked fun to watch! Alejandra Avalos is really good, her best role I ever seen her in. Monika Sanchez is good also as Mariposa. So I would recommend it for these actors and actresses, but you might fast forward some scenes.

Me gusto mucho

Interesting telenovela about love and gambling. It got a bit unreal at the end. I don't think greed can drive people to be that stupid. Subtitles were slower than the pictures. I had to keep rewinding. Worth watching though!

I first saw Apuesta por un Amor on satelite. I love the telenovela. My favorite. I decided to buy it and was EXTREMELY DISSAPPOINTED with how many important scenes were deleted to make it shorter. There was no point in creating a dvd because for the people who have not seen Apuesta por un Amor the longer version will sometimes have no clue as to what happened or what they are talking about. Don't get me wrong I love this telenovela but was not in love with the dvd version. In the first 1hr i saw about the first month worth of Apuesta por un Amor. It's too much to take in and not enough detail to understand. If you ever do see it on satelite i'm sure you'll love it as much as i do.

This is one of my favourite Mexican telenovelas. It stars a terrific and one of my favourite Mexican actresses Patricia Manterola. If you like telenovelas (soap operas), I would recommend it.

My DVD was shipped really fast and I received it as described. Sealed and in its original box. I would recommend this seller.

Very bad cut, nothing to do with the original aired series. Muy mala versión absolutamente recortada, ni parecida a la trama original.
