    Don't think you guys understand how good this show really is. Tyson makes me cringe super hard though, especially all that jager he was drinking. and than "we're going to start the game winning" just made me full cringe. stevens is the man though, he has a certain aura about him that attracts people to him , very special and a great salesman fair enough

    I think that was very unfair to the guy who had $900, while Skip had $300. Normally, you would expect that the guy with 3x more chips would be a 3:1 favorite to win the competition, but Stevens' roulette solution gave him only a 50% chance. Stevens just wanted Skip to win so he would be more likely to stay. Anyway, I think it's funny that when the top 5 salesmen from VIP Sports have a gambling competition, every single one of them loses money. They all had less than their original $1000 at the end of the competition. Does anyone want to pay any of those guys for sports betting advice?

    It would have been funnier still if they'd used Steve Stevens' picks to do their sports betting for the competition and then lost money. Of course they were smart enough not to do that.

    I think this is reality TV. Nothing is tongue in cheek. VIP Sports is a going concern. Did you not see JJ's video where he actually talked to Pirelli and Pirelli sold him $250 of sports betting advice?

    thats a solid point nino, but then again, when selling pipe dreams and fantasies that dont come true...darin may very well be the face of VIP. only in vegas could a felon continue to scam people legally.

    Steve Stevens worked for a telemarketing firm that told old people that they had won the lottery but they had to pay a few hundred dollars first to get their winnings. He got locked up 3x for that. In the last episode of Money Talks, Paula mentioned that she was married to the man who Stevens had worked for at 19. This was the scam company that he got jailed for working for. So both Stevens and Paula are lifelong scammers.

    one could make the argument that he was just teaching those old people money management

    fair enough?

    Not really surprising is it. She's like a 46 year old who is living off her ex-husband's money and still dresses and acts like she's in her 20s!

    To be fair, Stevo hasnt hidden his past, he mentioned it numerous times on the show

    Yeah just one season. It was entertaining.

    Steve and Skip do a podcast though, I haven’t listened to it in a minute but it was always entertaining despite each episode essentially being long commercials for VIP Sports
