    He seems to bet a lot of big favorites; -17, -19. Fair enough, Mr. B? Haha

    pirelli is going to end up 40 years old, driving a car that he cant afford, living in a home he cant afford, and raising douche bag kids he cant afford. guy burns money before he makes it.

    I suspect that CNBC is airing all of this great footage of Steve Stevens on Money Talks to buildup a legendary episode of American Greed.

    I've spoke to Pirelli before on the phone he's not an actor he does really work for VIP. The guy is hilarious but does have good lines when your on the phone with him and he is good at building that like affair with a client.

    I always think that when the episodes are airing and suddenly the American Greed and Scam/Fraud phrases pop up to pump the series...ironically as these scammers are on the phones or rolling up in the cars

    Most people are dumbasses these days. Commonsense and a little reality would show that it's similar to most commission based positions where sure you might get a few decent pops within the year but not consistently enough to sustain the level of 'wealth' portrayed. Couple that with the tax man's portion and then the excessive blowing of earnings....only ends one way.

    seems to be a legit business. the show definitely exaggerates, but these guys have some crazy lives.

    who cares if its fake or real. its entertaining and centered around something everyone on this forum likes. wish there were more shows like it. there use to be a show on the Discovery channel called SaintHoods. it was about bookies and it seems like it just stopped airing abruptly. making me think it wasn't as staged as people thought. anyone else remember that show?

    A lot doesnt make sense, which i guess only adds to the entertainment! Like with those two dudes who only had $275 on the under and were have palpitations about it and blowing up Pirelli's phone every 5 minutes as if it was the only money they had!

    i dont think the fight was staged because the cameras were not in the right position. i'd also say that pirelli probably wouldnt have attacked that guy if cameras werent in the vicinity.

    These guys are nothing special if your on the phone with one of them just ask to speak to pirelli or whoever you want and they will hand the phone over to them thinking if you talk to the guy you saw on tv that you will buy the package. I know for a fact pirelli is not an actor, but for some of the clients they show come in that may be a little staged, but for the most part everything else is pretty real.

    Cameras were in the perfect spot. There wasn't a real fight so the cameras would have shown nothing but a lot of grab assing
