Theo Potiris is a grocer & a comedian who never repeats his jokes. After 15 years of open mikes, he's still waiting for his break—bicycling to the comedy club at night, stacking plums at his family's grand & ramshackle supermarket by day. His girlfriend is halfway around the world, searching for enlightenment with a patron who happens to be the richest man on Earth, & when two other loved-ones get struck by bolts from the blue, Theo decides he can't keep chasing his old dreams any longer. He resolves to trade his wishes in, pursuing a bigger score.
Here Sean Michaels' novel takes a surprise left turn, away from the price of milk & into a shabby,...

The Wagers is a wild & magical novel about what it means to not only chase luck, but find it.

When Theo Potiris performed his stand-up comedy act on Conan at 25, he thought he’d hit it big. But 10 years later, he’s still spending his days working at his parents’ grocery store, bicycling to the local open mic, & writing letters to a girlfriend who lives halfway around the world. Theo’s desperate for a break. But when he brings his 13-year-old niece to the horse track to place a birthday bet—a Potiris family tradition—the goddess of good luck strikes her instead, in the form of a small fortune. Try as he might to be happy for her, Theo’s shock & envy finally push him out of the family nest, away from his comedy dreams & toward a new calling.

First: a mysterious corporation called The Rabbit’s Foot, which carefully quantifies & cashes in on luck. Then: to a gang of vigilantes, who recruit Theo to help them steal luck from those who carry more than their fair share...
