    was an interesting show while it lasted. If you think for a minute this Steve Stevens is legit, well, let's just say you're proabably not the sharpest tool in the shed.

    Only successful gamblers that i either know or know of run a system. Billy Walters is the main one. He has an effective computer genenrated pick system that simulates thousands of different scenerios for games and has been feed more and more releveant information over the years and he's not selling picks.
    I came up with my own system 8 years ago and has produced 8 consecutive winning seasons and i'm not selling anything. Point is if it's for sale, it's probably not worth the paper it's printed on.
    Nonetheless, these Stevens characters are funny guys to watch, total clowns and the entertainment is the only value in them.

    Watched like 2 episodes and did a little research on guy. Seems like a total jerkoff scammer and b.s. artist. His picks and $ he charges his "clients" are hilarious though! If ur gonna pay a tout why would anyone with half a brain go with this idiot or his deadbeat picks?!?

    saw a few episodes. the first one is pretty entertaining. he convince a guy to be 10 k. lost in the extra innings. then he told the guy to double up on a football game. lost again/ then he convince the guy to take out 60k on his sure win pick because he has never lost 3 games in a row. pretty funny the guy just listen to whatever he tells him.

    all the salesmen are alcoholics and degenerate gamblers. looking forward to the second season if they decide to make one

    question about touts....

    do any of them actually try to pick winners or do they all just give half of their clients one play and the other half the other?

    they don't split the clients. they just keep trying to get new clients. because if you lose 3 or 4 picks with a tout, you probably think he is crap and leave. it is just a numbers game. trying to get as many clients as possible and trying to convince to bet as big as possible.

    these touts go on hot and cold streaks just like the rest of us. it is all about being a good saleman

    but i do enjoy watching the show. these salesman are pretty entertaining to watch. the clients are pretty funny too. it is pretty realistic when they are sweating out the games.

    after watching first 3 episodes. i do see a pattern.. they tend to love tout the over and fav. i guess it is more exciting for them to watch games with the clients. good for television.

    when you bet the under, you just want to relax and hope for a boring game. can't really get excited about that. so i guess it is bad for sales as well

    It's entertaining to a degree no doubt. Still scripted though and mostly fake I'm sure like most "reality" tv. I usually stay clear of that garbage myself.
    However other night I clicked on show Netflix had called Big Rig repo or something to that effect. Watched like 4 episodes and laughed thru quite a bit of it. Shit was pure comedy gold! The writing and acting on these shows is pretty bad usually.

    JJ did a video where he phoned Pirelli and pretended he was interested in buying some picks. He asked him some questions about the show too.
