    saw the show for the first time last night. Yikes, who the hell would let these sleazebags talk to you on the phone for one second. i wonder where they get their "leads" from and why a single person answers the phone. They are a step down from the boiler room guys who were calling in the 80s and 90s a la wolf of wall street.

    A good radio bit would be for Todd to call in as a potential customer and let us listen to the pitch.

    here we go. not sure you need their permission in Nevada to record someone, but would make for a good radio prank call. just let them sell.

    shoot, do your own research, but recording prank calls may = violation of wiretap laws. e.g. http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/5/2...nk-call-arrest

    YES.
    SBRforum, some guy paid 2500, and they are just fading the guy.
    he went like 3-15 over one stretch,

    if he bet what Steven's told him to, he would be down like 190k,
    and now stevens wants him to get 100k down on one game.

    T-bone123
    For the record he doesnt charge me 50% of every win. It's over all profit. I paid him $2500 up front to show i was a real player and haven't paid since but he's been trying to suck me into giving him more money. I don't know how long it will last before i have to pay to keep receiving picks but in the mean time im going to ride this fade until the wheels fall off.

    He'll try to have me going 100k a game lol. This guy is an absolute animal with no concept of money management. If i totaled it up i would be down around 190k with this character.

    http://forum.sbrforum.com/service-pl...e-stevens.html

    The guy is obviously a sociopath.
    I couldn't sleep w/ a job, in sales, where I knew every deal will end badly.

    The one question/comment I'm sick of seeing , is the 50 % com when they are losing.

    Like if a guy
    loses 1100, then loses another 1100, so -2200,
    wins the 3rd bet, so -1200 overall and people asking if they have to pay 50 % comm on that 1000.
    I mean come on, who would be that stupid.

    I actually would love to to see this show come back for a season 2 because it's just so bad it entertains me.

    The last few episodes were just meh.

    LOL @ Stevens getting that guy to bet $55k to win $50k on Auburn which was a massive portion of his bankroll.

    If that Skipper guy was making as much as they claim on the show why isn't his family already living with him in Vegas?

    Too much of a chase system going on here and with the heavy commissions that apparently some retarded people are paying VIP this again is just taking advantage of the suckers who won't be clients for long when they either lose or wake up realizing how much they are paying these fools.

    BUMP

    Here is Darin Notaro/"Steve Stevens" from September, 2021 basically just doing the same thing, with no CNBC behind it (of course).

    Calls it The Million Dollar Weekend. Same bullshit, more than half a decade later...with cussing allowed and more of a commercial advertisement feel about it...

    I’ll say one thing he does know a hell of a lot more than CM regarding sports betting, but it doesn’t erase the fact that SS is a glorified salesman con artist. Both CM & SS are great entertainment for me filled with huge laughs I fuckin’ love it. I do hope one day they both fall on hard times & don’t just rely on other peoples money to make a living for themselves.
