This was posted on 2+2 somewhere before. The show is about a scammer. I'll probably still give it a try on the 1st episode out of curiosity:

At the end of the day, sports gamblers risk $200 billion a year. The overwhelming majority of them make decisions based on gut feelings, and what the see on ESPN. making a decision, especially when the decision involves large sums of cash, based on some analysis is better than risking money based on no analysis. And based on what the average better loses, a mere $250 package up front is a good investment.

Nobody hates on poker coaches. Stay tuned for my diary.

Why was this the worst job you ever had?

I assume he has a conscience (conscious? never know which to use)

No clue which one to use. Pretty sure I don't have either of those.

It's def that one. I've always considered you conscious while on 2p2 Wiper. Just not ALWAYS sure you have a conscience

Except the vast majority of people selling picks use no better analysis

I believe I can make decent money in this industry. I'll keep a diary. I leave for Las Vegas Monday.

Ya but a coach is actually teaching, and if he teaches you a theory, it won't be gone in 10 minutes after a line swings 30 points. I dunno, there's a pretty big gap.

I understand they have a bad reputation. I'm not here to win over the hearts and minds of losing gamblers. But as a salesman, a pretty damn good one, I want a slice of that $200 billion pie.

By the way, Money Talks got picked up. The season starts in like 2 weeks. The pilot was pretty badass.

Start a diary thread now

What forum do you suggest? House of Blogs?

Doesn't that premier March 19? I'm trying to find it online, don't see it.

Yes, but the pilot actually premiered last summer. You can watch it on cnbc.com

I consider myself a master direct sales pro. A master. My fascination with sports service sales is the disease aspect of the customer....(I know it sounds satanic....)

Gambling is a compulsion. They want to say yes. I'm a young guy, 23 years old....I want my share of the American Dream. This is a legal path to the money I feel I'm capable of accumulating.

They are going to gamble anyway.

Yes











Good I respect this honesty. Just own it and quit bsing to us that you have some kind of handicapping talent

tout ops aren't about making clients money. its about conning every single dime you can get out of them (clearly ruining lives) in before degens gonna degen.

even the top cons making upwards of a quarter mill a year. theyre all straight up drunks, fire on $5 machines until they are busted. if these people are happy, why get ****faced constantly, while behaving like youre hellbent on giving back ALL of your ill gotten gains?

why did the job blow? go cold call 300 gamblers a day who have been hearing the same pitch since the 1980's. I wanna hang myself right now just thinking about it.

but, you claim to be a "sales beast" and if youre as big a sociopath as you claim to be. you will make a pile of cash.

I would venture to say the overwhelming majority of us wouldn't care to read a dairy about somebody taking advantage of helpless degens.

good luck

I'll read his diary if he owns being a sociopath and forgets trying to argue us he's providing a legit service

1. I have been very clear about being totally green about handicapping. I'm going to learn.

2. Maybe I am a sociopath. Capitalism.

3. Thanks for feedback.

I could see how some would be interested. but I lived it for 8 months and it was ****ing disgusting

one of the top cons actually started his day off by yelling out "alright boys, lets ruin some ****ing lives"

you may think youre a top con. try taking a guy who you've taken 2-12 and have him shoot you a card for 15k. until you can do that. youre no top con.

Also, what were your hours like?

Dude...I'm aware I've not done it yet....I'm going to vegas to learn.
