Steve's" real name is Darin Notaro. He knows less about sports betting than just about everyone on this board. He is however, a master telemarketer and great at talking people into dumb decisions.

Take a look at how he talks about money management with his client from out of town, then convinces him to double down twice. The guy loses first two games (Dodgers and Hurricanes) but hits the third Seattle. ALL THREE GAMES WERE PUBLIC PLAYS. Tells you almost all you need to know about his handicapping "skills".

Here is an old article on Darin from 1999, he is now almost 40, but he was 25 when this happened.

CARSON CITY -- District Judge Sally Loehrer Tuesday sentenced Darin Notaro, 25, to one year in jail for his part in a Las Vegas telemarketing scheme that bilked elderly citizens across the nation out of at least $234,000.

Notaro, who was also ordered to make $12,230 in restitution, is one of six men charged in connection with their work for Century Pacific Group, a boiler room that telephoned elderly people and told them they won valuable sweepstakes prizes, but they had to pay $699 to get the prize.

Deputy Attorney General Grenville Pridham said one New Jersey man was told he won $10,000 and a new car but had to send $699. An 82-year-old Georgia woman was told she had won enough to pay all her bills but first had to send the money. A salesman told a 77-year-old New York man he had won an expense-paid trip to Las Vegas.

All of the victims, Pridham said, were from out of state. And there were no prizes.

After the people sent in their money, Pridham said, they received a package from Century Pacific Group that contained a list of companies that offered prize promotions of some kind and envelopes to send in their name to be entered in the promotions. They also received an inexpensive camera and coupons to buy film, with the total package worth about $40.

The offices of Century Pacific Group at 6985 W. Sahara Ave. were raided by the FBI and investigators for the attorney general's office in August 1998. At the time of his arrest, Notaro was on probation for conviction of six federal felony counts of telemarketing fraud by wire. For those 1995 offenses, he was ordered to pay $30,000 in restitution, fined $3,100 and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.

Notaro, who pleaded guilty to a gross misdemeanor count of conspiracy to commit unregistered telemarketing, maintained he was only a runner for the business. Loehrer said she doubted his story based on his prior convictions.

Notaro must surrender by Sept. 8 to begin serving his sentence in the Clark County Detention Center.

I had pointed out that this guy has been a thief and a felon. I feel this thing is disgraceful for a channel like CNBC to take part in it.

Many (most) of the "reality" shows are ignorant, but this one has the potential to cripple people and ruin families!

Doubt if the part last night about having the kid has any truth to it. If there is any truth to it..... good luck to the little kid.

What do you put on a birth certificate for a kid from an unwed couple when the whole world knows his dad falsely as "Stevens"?

Just askin?
