I humbly submit that I wrote a vaguely similar story,
but I liked it better. That's just me. In mine, the wives knew about the bet and busted the chops of the husbands, but never gave any up to the other guys. I usually prefer faithful wives, when possible, and they all remained married and only a little smarter..

Has a high opinion of himself. If you don't believe me, just ask him he'll tell you.
Good story, keep them coming!

This might be the answer
The BTB Brotherhood defies understanding. Why are they so deranged? The most popular theory is they are all Muslim. But this story offers a more likely explanation. The BTB's that spend half their waking hours on Lit.com to be the first to take a crap on every new LW story could be clones of the 4 amigos in this story. That simple and that stupid. Got taken to the cleaners and are reborn as BTB murderers ever since.
After reading so many unoriginal, poorly written BTB (Burn The Bitch) stories in this category I LOVE reading an original and well written story where the cheating husband is the one that gets burned. Since in my humble opinion this story should have a rating of about 4.3-4.5 yet it is barely above 3 it seems that the BTB brethren are really put off by it and take out their frustration in their voting. Does that make them women haters, pea brains, or both? Interesting question.

Fun story
Keep them coming. Love BTB (Burn the Bastard) stories.
“Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80%of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!”
― Andy Rooney
I like the premise. However, in order to make it work, too many lucky (read: implausible) things have to fall in place...the 'one of four' wives who get the 'butt-dial' at exactly the right time is the one with the occupational resources AND the 'almost clone' relative who has the perfect 'profession' to undertake this scheme. The fact that Sweetie K is massively unhappy with Hubby is NOT a stretch.
The rest is careful planning, so disbelief is easier to suspend, but the writing mechanics are also careless, so I cannot, in good faith, go as high as 4 ... so 3*
I'm in agreement with the comment that the story has a good enough premise to be interesting. I also like the innate honesty it has about it being a story about a fucked-up contest. The actual story was pretty flat, though, with very little flow or life to it. I found it challenging to stay interested.
The plot development was a little thin but I likedd the idea. I liked the way Janet planned and executed it. As far as man-hating, there is enough woman hating on this site that a little revenge on some cheating, amoral husbands isn't a bad thing. BTB wherein the secnd B is for Bastard.
As for the guys, why the fuck would you wanna screw around after only a few years of marriage. I could almost see after 10 or more but no so soon.
When the story hits closer to home - eh guys?? LOL we have such huge egos sometimes - heh
Yep there are plenty of stupid male morons too - butt dialing does happen - even with smart phones, my kids do it frequently (adult children).
Once the initial fortuitous event occurs the rest is fun - as for likely? We would on;y get to read a story about the time when it all comes together - every movie or TV plot does that and every book too so don't criticize the coincidence.
There is this book about an arrogant loser who went to a very prestigious institute of higher learning, graduated (just barely), got a job appropriate to his training, succeeded out of dumb luck, became one great prima dona, excersized POOR leadership and ended up in a life threatening disaster of his own making (he worked very hard to fail). All the coincidences are true and we only know about him because of them AND the books written about him.
His name - General George Armstrong Custer - no real person could have been that stupid - right?? Listen to the Bill Cosby routine about it hilarious.
He got a good attorney. And because they lived in a state that didn't care about infidelity (what states do anymore?), his lawyer did what any decent lawyer would do. He followed the money. And he showed the Judge evidence that Janet had put things into a safe deposit box (after all it was in her name and easily found). He got a warrant and those assets were produced to the Judge. Then he got another warrant and showed the Judge pictures of everything Janet had stashed in the storage locker (after all in was in her name and easily found). When he produced Pat (after all she was a family member and easily found), under subpoena, Janet's case was all done - three strikes and you're out. Bill got a 75/35 split with the house being sold and the proceeds included in the split. THAT'S how things roll. Janet wasn't nearly as clever as she thought and Bill's lawyers evidence proved to the Judge she was by far the worse offender in the marriage. Bill smiled all the way to the bank. Sorry, while this was entertaining I couldn't help but see all the holes in it. Not badly written but the conclusions just didn't make sense to me. Thanks for the story.

Finally
One "loving wives" story where it's the hubby who cheats & gets taken to cleaners.
dumb is as dumb does
Those guys should not be allowed to bred for the sake of humanity.

Cute premise - marginal execution

However, in order to make it work, too many lucky (read: implausible) things have to fall in place...the 'one of four' wives who get the 'butt-dial' at exactly the right time is the one with the occupational resources AND the 'almost clone' relative who has the perfect 'profession' to undertake this scheme.

WHEN PLAYING GAMES AND HAVING CONTESTS
make sure both sides know the rules and play by them but don't forget motives and reasons are never the same TK U MLJ LV NV
Of course Bill was smart in one thing
He got a good attorney. And because they lived in a state that didn't care about infidelity (what states do anymore?), his lawyer did what any decent lawyer would do. He followed the money. And he showed the Judge evidence that Janet had put things into a safe deposit box (after all it was in her name and easily found). He got a warrant and those assets were produced to the Judge.
