Plot Synopsis

MONEY TALKS follows Steve Stevens -- a sports handicapper and owner of a sports betting consulting business, VIP Sports Las Vegas -- as he and his agents sell game-day picks to gamblers. From small-time bettors who will lay-out a few hundred to the whales who put six figures on the line, Stevens' world is built on high risk, high reward, and high emotions. Stevens call himself "The Best Sports Consultant Money Can Buy," touting his 70% win rate against Vegas bookies, which raised suspicions of Vegas insiders. The website WagerMinds investigated and discovered that Steve Stevens is an alias for Darin Notaro, who WagerMinds found "was on probation for six federal felony counts of telemarketing fraud by wire when he was arrested for his role in a 1999 telemarketing scam that bilked elderly victims out of more than $234,000." On Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 9pm ET/6pm PT, CNBC aired a one-hour sneak preview of MONEY TALKS, with the official series premiere on March 19, 2014 at 10pm ET/7pm PT.
