Bet My Life was a group of high school friends from Orlando having fun. Each member of the band wanted to do something else (Mike C pushed to sound like Agnostic Front, Dirt-E wanted to be Throwdown, Nik wanted to be Millencolin, & J. Hoenshelt and Poochy wanted to smoke weed). At one point in time, they were all "straight-edge" but I believe that lasted less than a month. They recorded 2 EP's (which were really just demo's, but Nik paid to get them pressed up on CDs).
Bet My Life played around the sunshine state (mostly at Rumour's Lounge on Goldenrod & University or random bars along the coast), but did have one "tour" which consisted of a 10 hour drive to Augusta, GA for a Comin' Correct show, then a 12 hour drive south to "Vision Fest" in Sebring, FL. Bet My Life had the pleasure of playing with bands like Punishment, Underoath, Downpour, Remembering Never, Fortitude, The Autumn Offering, One Fifth, Sadiya, Seraphin, Comin' Correct, Keepsake, and more. Pressure mounted within the band (as any band with Mike C. will do) and Bet My Life imploded upon itself.

"Oh yeah, on 'tour' the van died before we crossed over the Georgia border so 5 of us had to sit in the back of a pick-up truck for 9 hours on the way to Sebring, FL. 2 days later I got to drive back up to Georgia with Nik to pick up the van. Shambles..."
