this! its the most shocking thing about his business to me as well. you would be better off trowing darts and being able to keep all your winnings, than to take some touts pick and give him half the cash. unreal to me that any self respecting person would give any tout money, let alone 50%.

at the beginning of this last one, he said he made the guy who sent in the check over $200,000, and the check was only for $75,000. so everyone doesn't pay 50%. you'd have to be nuts to do that. can you imagine sweating out a $50,000 bet (supposedly) and know you're giving $25k of it away after all that sweating and shitting?

Yeah. Some it's like 30%, but honestly anything over 10% and it's impossible for client to win no matter how good he runs.

I hope the show comes back though.
Funny thing is even the sales guys were laughing about it when they went for the meal in last ep! Skip says he's gonna put his 1g bonus on Steven's favourite game, and one of the old guys said "yeah then he'll ask for 50% of the winnings"!! lol
