although I like daisuke\'s version of translation, his interpretation of \"have a lot riding on\" is slightly incorrect.
\"have a lot riding on\" usually means \"much at stake\". In that sense \"rely on\", \"depend on\" etc are a bit off here..

I've just shown a translation for "have a lot riding on ...". Here, "ride on" is equal to "rely on", "depnd on", "count on", etc.
