About this listen

A wild bet. A second chance. A high-stakes game where everything is on the line.

Bud Collins is broke, divorced, and drowning in debt. His teaching job is hanging by a thread, his kids barely tolerate him, and just when it seems life can’t get worse, a mysterious package from his eccentric uncle arrives. Inside: a cryptic message, a wad of cash, and the chance to finally change his luck.

What starts as a simple favor spirals into a high-risk, high-reward adventure through casinos, classrooms, and chaotic family dinners. Along the way, Bud uncovers a suspiciously successful betting system, reconnects with his kids, and maybe—just maybe—finds love with a sharp-tongued school librarian who might be the real jackpot.

But luck this good doesn’t go unnoticed. A ruthless loan shark, a deranged debt collector, and a mystery player all want a piece, and Bud’s hot streak has made him a target.

The Key: Let It Ride is a laugh-out-loud rollercoaster full of wild twists, oddball characters, and surprising heart. If you enjoy quirky comedies with heart, redemption arcs, and a touch of romance, this is one bet worth taking.
