Thanks for the reply World! I fear that a few people might see this show and believe there is any small shred of reality in this show.
CNBC should be ashamed. This thing glorifies the worst kind of thieves and shitheels.
The other show "American Greed" at least shows the criminals getting arrested and imprisoned at the end.
Another funny thing is this..... If there was such a thing as a Steve Stevens, he would be barred in no time. The "suits" won't let anyone consistently win.
The supposed big player in the episode must have been scheduled for brain surgery the day after the filming.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if this scumbag Steve Stevens (aka Darin Nataro) takes half of all winnings, doesn't that mean each play automatically becomes -220 instead of -110? His supposed billionaire friend who blindly trusts him seems perfectly content to effectively risk $11k to win 5k on a game. 11 to win 5 translates to -220. That means assuming even amounts are bet on each game, the billionaire guy would need to hit more than 2 out of 3 plays just to break even, and more than 4 out of 5 plays to turn a profit. You're telling me these VIP goons can consistently hit more than 80% to make this guy money? Right after he first preaches money management for a $50k bankroll, then suddenly starts using the Martingale system of doubling up until he has a winner?
This whole show is a crock of shit. I don't believe that billionaire guy is legit since he seemed to barely contain his laughter the entire time...chances are he's a paid actor. I really hope there aren't any suckers left who fall for this crap and hope "Steve Stevens" winds up in jail for fraud. Oh, wait...he already did a few years ago. Fucking scumbag tout.

I get a feeling that the "billionaire" is not the guy we saw the other night. But some other fraud we have not seen yet. (Don't know this for sure.)
Internet says that one of the VIP boiler room telephone guys is going risk his entire bankroll on one of Steve's plays. High drama? No, just common bullshit.
It seems to me that even the stupidest "bigfoot" type shows on cable TV hit closer to some sort of truth than this show. Embarrassing to any network.

The good thing is that he's so over the top that I don't think anyone could take ever him seriously.
Here's more of the back story for anyone interested.

At docsports we got all kinds of thing on him. Good link.... If anyone else has any more links to other articles on this guy or showsend them my way. We're going to write an article and get it ranked in
google for his brand and his name. He's getting a lot of serches now so we want
to be parked right there on page one (not calling him out) but rather just reporting
on some of these thing we found.
can anyone help

I'm actually looking forward to the rest of the series just to see how ridiculous the show content can get.
One of the funniest parts of the first show was when Darin and the fake high roller were arguing in the parking lot after his second loss and the scamster says "I'll bet my life that I NEVER lose three in a row." Uh huh. Every single gambler who has played even a small amount of games has run into a losing streak of more than three at some point (I'll never forget one incredible stretch when I lost 24 straight fucken plays, believe it or not...but I digress). His claim was as silly as saying a roulette wheel would never show three straight black or red numbers because it's just too improbable.
Oh, btw...anyone else happen to notice that the Seattle-Arizona and Miami-NC State games were played on the same day? Yep, that's right...someone on Twitter pointed out that both were on the same Thursday night in the middle of October last season. Why does it matter? Well, it shows that the entire show is a scripted joke and it wasn't possible for this prick to have advised his "high roller" to have played Seattle after Miami lost because both kicked off at the same time. They probably figured no one would notice. Put that in your article, Ace:

What's funny though is he was beating his chest about how awesome he was after the Seattle win, but IIRC, the Cards got into the Seattle red zone and came pretty close to back-dooring the play as time was winding down. Too bad...
Great episode No. 2! SPOILER ALERT!! Some interesting discoveries...
- We find out that a high roller who owns two barber shops is somehow able to bring $50k in cash with him to Vegas just to blow. Had no idea cutting hair became that lucrative!
- Steve Stevens talks like a brother when he's around another one.
- When the alleged high roller loses his second bet to break even, he says "Hey, no big deal...I came out here to have fun, and you're showing me a good time." Because high rollers are just incapable of finding ways to have fun on their own.
- Road favorites are the only way to make money!
- When an NFL team is down by 11 points late, kicking a field goal and then going for an onside kick is a stupid idea worthy of ridicule. Yeah, Steve...I have no idea why they'd do that either?!?
- Seeing a team who was favored by two lose a game by 14 somehow points counts as a "backdoor beat."
This guy is a complete fucking ass clown. I'd get physically ill if they really are able to scam suckers out of that much money every week.

I've heard others say this as well, but I've seen it first hand, and know that you're wrong. think about it...
100 heads a week x $15-20 a head = $1500-2000 a week CASH. That's $78-$100k annually. he owns the shop, so he pays no booth rental, and prob even makes a few stacks off of it. Let's not forget sales of other things in the shop etc. Bottom line, the barbers I know here all make $50k CASH annually if they try. Not great money, but nothing to ever complain about (for most anyways).
Steve Stevens couldn't pick a winner even if he had to pick a side after the game was over.
That's how clueless that douche is ... I could handicap circles around him any day of the week in any sport.
He knows this as a fact... that's why he went from scamming old ladies, to "supposedly" scamming guys with money. He is the greasier version of Brandon Lang

Didn't catch it last night but will try to watch this weekend.
I love how these clowns walking around with a bunch of $100 bills is supposed to convey they have a bunch of money. (My $100 bills are making money, not sitting in my pocket). It is as if these are lower class people acting how they think people with actual wealth would.
Oh, and I loved how the drunk punk was shouting at the girl in the bar how he could make her "2 units a week!!!" (did she even know what the hell he was talking about?) because he's going to win 7 out of every 10. Uh-huh. Which is why he's forced to scam people and not standing at the window every day winning these units. And, of course it all ends with him in the fetal position crying because there are no 7 winners a week...
