I thought I’d never have a chance to win the lottery. I can’t even pick the pen that works from a choice of two at the lottery stand. If I put a thousand dollars on a horse it would collapse. I’m just not a lucky guy, I’m only a schemer.
When the Canadian government introduced Pro Line: a sports betting lottery; it was just another sure way of getting nothing for something. Then, a system I believed to be foolproof set the stage for an opportunity to turn one paycheck into enough money to retire on.
With a system in place but limited time to make it work only one question remained.
How many times was I willing to turn a wallet, a shoe box, a suitcase and then a trunk full of winnings over to the lottery agent and say “let it ride”?

"You look like crap," said the bartender, more out of amusement than concern. Behind the bar, a television was showing a hockey game between the Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks.
I felt like crap, too. I was watching my carefully crafted scheme unravel right before eyes. The last several months and all of the stomach ulcers were quickly becoming meaningless. "Sorry," I said, "I just threw up in your bathroom."
"You know you're only drinking Coke, right?" he said with a laugh.
"Yes, I do."
“Ok, just checking. Something must be up your ass, though, because you look whiter than a ghost.”
“I have $140,000 riding on this game and I need two goals in the next ten minutes or it’s all gone.”
“Bullshit, for real?”
“Yes. They call me Shooter.”

The Air Miles Scheme
The Pimping Scheme
i'll work on the whole "i pimped my ex wife out" story today
i think it's the third of my best three stories i have in me
M.Friend
Don't worry about rushing it. It will probably be at least 2 weeks before I can do Air Miles properly
It's definitely the grandest scheme
I mean, holy shit dude, you got someone to buy you a condo
C.Lawsum
really? air miles over pro line? dude the Air Miles scheme was epic.
M.Friend
No, your ex's story.
C.Lawsum
i always had it 1. pro line, 2. air miles 3. the story about her
M.Friend
Seriously? A condo! You conned somebody into buying your wife a condo!!!!!!!!
C.Lawsum
no. he bought the house
a whole house
M.Friend
And it wrecked your marriage and left you borderline homeless. It has everything a SoS story needs in spades. The high highs and low lows
As you can see the craziness of my schemes and my life is proportional to my age and the ex wife one has to be done right after the Air Miles scheme. But i had to write and publish this one first as it was the most thrilling, the most brilliant, and the most disastrous scheme of my life.
Yes, even more disastrous than being left borderline homeless and near death from starvation. Those i can recover from.
But nobody ever recovers from being called "shooter."
