https://www.talkingbiznews.com/1/cnbcs-money-talks-premieres-to-low-ratings/ ratings were pretty bad the first go around, probably the reason. and yes he scammed elderly people out of money through a telemarketing service years ago https://deadspin.com/cnbc-is-giving-a-scam-artist-handicapper-his-own-realit-976926638

There was something about that game worth noting.
The kid was laying 6 due to the tout's advice.
So the game goes to OT and now a miracle push is the absolute best that can happen (and almost certainly won't).
So the tout is there saying, "Cincy just has to drive down field and score a TD and we push. Let's do this!"
And the kid is them openly cheering for a Cincy TD...
In OT....
Even with the new OT rules, if you are laying > 3 and it goes to OT, you turn the game off and look to the next.
And here's this kid and his gf cheering for missed field goals, FROM THEIR OWN TEAM, in OT so on a subsequent drive that very same team tries to score 6...
These people who are betting don't even know the basics of the game and the touts string them along...
Cincy ended up winning by 3 (shocker) and the kid and gf looked like someone died.
Ya gotta see it to believe it. The dirty touts and the squares will blow your mind if you watch it.

Covers members are smarter than that man.
Even covers members know that when they are laying 6 to another team and it goes to OT, they are toast.
This kid legitimately thought he was still in it. It was amazing to watch...

Yeah...that's what bothered me the most about tonight's episode (2nd of the season). "Steve Stevens" constantly lies about the amount of money that his client has "won".
First bet was $11k to win $10k....won. Client wins $5k after 50% commission.
Second bet was $11k to win $10k...loss. Client is now down $6k overall.
Third bet was $22k to win $20k...win. Client wins $10k after $5k commission...up $4k overall. Stevens says clent won $19k overall for the weekend?
Also, the fact that he used the "backdoor" term for the Virginia/Duke game when he had Virginia -2 and Duke won 35-22. Being up 22-7 at the half and losing 35-22 isn't a "backdoor"...bum.

The show is ridiculous. I watched it last night for the first time. Most of it was random crap building relationship with the client which I dont care about. I just wanted to see the betting. So they take Atlanta -6.5 for 22k. The guy's logic was something like hey we split the first two so lets up the stakes. Great bankroll management. Bring 50k and bet 22%, 22%, and then 44% lol I don't hear anything in depth just the Bucs haven't won a game all year and won't start now. Great reason to lay 44% of your bankroll. Then I did hear him say he made 9500. The 50% commission is ust flat out insane and dumb. Nobody betting that much money could possibly be that stupid.

It's 50% commission on his total winnings by the end of the trip. It's not 50% on each winning ticket.
I think this show is awesome. Of course it's ridiculous reality TV but how many shows to we get to watch about sports betting in Vegas? Everyone is getting so butt hurt over the editing and BS in the show, who cares. Sit back and enjoy and don't take it so serious.
