tonight on money talks... i've got a high roller in town... lee pappas. you brought $100,000? -you gotta tell me the score. -we got back-doored, dude. who seems ready to have a nervous breakdown. i can't lose 100,000 in one weekend. and after last week's blow-up... yeah, paula, i don't need no girl missing saturdays when it's the biggest day. i think i may have just cut my right hand off. you're bringing your personal life into the office and taking it out on me and everybody around you. -i need you there. -chaos... you know we're on trial. we have to win this game. -screw-ups. -if we lose tomorrow, too, that's like buying a ( bleep ) car. just another week at vip sports. guys, work with me a little bit, please.

i'm steve stevens. i'm a sports consultant. i don't take bets. i'm the one that tells you who to bet on. -absolute blowout winner. -play $11,000. i'm not the bookie. i'm a bookie killer. ♪ if money talks then i got a lot to say ♪ ♪ i'm on the ground tryin' to make a hundred thousand dollars a day ♪ ♪ the game that i pick believe me it's a winner ♪ ♪ what i know can get you rich 'cause all i pick is winners ♪ ♪ welcome to las vegas ♪ money talks money talks ♪ ♪ welcome to las vegas steve: where i come from-- las vegas, sin city-- it's the place where you take care of people. that's how i was born and raised. it's the city of lights, the city of entertainment. when a big client comes into las vegas, my job is to take care of these people and show them a time they've never seen before. because, after all, you're trying to bond with this client to get their confidence and to bet more money.

steve stevens. lee pappas. -how you doing, buddy? -pleasure to meet you. -how are you, man? -good, how are you? -you ready to tear up the town? -yeah. steve: here's lee pappas, another one of my good clients. it's a guy that is a stockbroker. this is a guy that i've built up to come to las vegas to bet some serious money. this is jordan, a friend of mine. he's executive security. i bring him aboard for clients like this that bring out the big guns. lee pappas' record was 14-3 with me before coming to town. let's go get something to eat. i'm starving. he was betting $500 a game at first, -then i convinced him to go about $1,000 a game. -nice car. it's not the money that i made him, it's the record and the consistency and the percentage. i've shown this guy 70%, 80%, which is something he's never seen before in the stock market. and now he's looking to bet big. what we're gonna do right now is, uh,

i'm gonna take you to one of the finest restaurants in las vegas. i'm taking you to a place called oscar's. how long have you been in the stock market? i've been in the market since '87. you and i do the exact same thing. we sell information to consultants. this comes in a little quicker than a retirement portfolio, i promise you that. it goes quicker, and it comes quicker. this is downtown las vegas. you gotta look out there and tell 'em, "show me the money!" give it up! welcome to my city. ( sighs ) we'll get a little drink, and i want to go over a little bit what our plan is, why you're here. what'd you end up bringing? $300,000? -a little less. -a buck-fifty? -one. -100 even? okay, that's okay. steve: here i am with a guy that has a legitimate $100,000. i'm starting to think i'm gonna ( bleep ) have a good week this week. my goal right off the bat is for you to bet $30,000 a game. how do you feel about that? see that pause right there? this is what i want to talk to you about.

my goal is to bet $30,000 a game, and i just want to make sure you're okay with it. don't have me focusing on the 30,000 and you not feel right, because one thing about it is, broke men shouldn't gamble. jealous men shouldn't pimp hos. i only play to win. that's why i came out here. if we can make what you're saying we're gonna make, i'm not gonna want to do it only once. steve: you got different types of people that bet-- guys that watch the games, guys that put on jerseys, guys that are willing to fight for their team, guys that eat chips and salsa and hot dogs. then you got this guy over here that does it strictly for business. he doesn't even really know how to put a bet in, and he doesn't give a rat's ass about what team he's on. have you ever made any of your clients six figures -in less than a week? -no. that'll be something that you can put on my portfolio, what i did for you. fair enough? that's why a guy like lee pappas can do me a whole lot of good. i get this guy on a winning streak, i can't make $250,000 this year, if not more, from this guy.

a little asparagus. i'll smell that later. salute, brother. salute. things were rough there for a little while with kelly and i. and i had to soul-search. i had to realize that i have to put a little more effort to make things work if i want to keep this happy life. and i really, really do. good morning. what's up, baby boy? i don't want to miss out on probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. how was work? well, my big boy came into town--lee-- so that's a good thing. came out with 100,000. he came with it right on the airplane. a guy like this, we can absolutely make some money. but, uh, paula still hasn't came back. i'm stressed out of my mind. i'm sure she'll come back. -she always does. -yeah.

i think i went a little overboard. -what'd you do? -i verbally abused her. i was having a bad day. you were stressing me out at the house. you need to breathe. kelly: i know who he is as a person, and it eats him up inside, all of it-- whether it's his work being messed up, or his person that helps him at work the most being pissed off about the way he talked to her, or me at home, you know... it all messes him up inside. he doesn't know how to deal with anxiety. whatever the case is, i wasn't too nice to you. i ended up picking up a little something for you. hold him, let me show you what i got you. steve: if you can find a guy that can balance this ( bleep ) life, if you can find a guy that can balance a happy wife at home with 14-hour days, you either, a-- got a gold-digger at home that's ( bleep ) somebody else and she's glad you're gone, or b--you're the baddest mother-( bleep ) i've ever met in my life. because you know how to juggle more than any of these guys down at "circus del sol" in las vegas, is all i can tell you.

holy crap. that's beautiful. why'd i get these? just a token of my appreciation, tell you i love you, and more important than that, i'm not here to do anything but make money and support our family. i know you think i'm out doing this, that and the other. -thank you. -i'm just over here working. i feel like right now steve realizes what's important. yeah! let her know that-- -do you like it? -she's balling now. i got diamonds. he realizes he needs me. he needs his son. he needs all of us around him to get by. finally, thank you. ( telephone ringing, overlapping chatter ) we're having a great day at sports. how much do you want to win? that's what you bet. my deal good yet? i got this guy calling me. -he's got to go to oregon. -i can't get into the system. -here, all right. -i'm sorry. paula is real important to the whole process of our office. from the leads to the phones to the back end. without her, you really just don't know what's going on back there.

wayne, i've got a call for you. everybody's ringers need to be on! steve: after me and paula going back and forth with the angry texts, and me going a little overboard, i think i've really got a nerve that i've never hit before. i haven't heard from her. she hasn't showed up to work. i promise you, you'll get your game. we still have plenty of time. fair enough? -has paula texted you? -i haven't heard anything. send it to me, let's go. sports. this is steve. as i'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off, answering every phone, i'm starting to realize that, my god, paula does a whole lot of work that i don't give her credit for. that i am starting to understand. dude, oh, my god. i'm losing my mind. i need paula back asap. guys, work with me a little bit, please. i got a lot of stuff going on. i'll be stepping out of the office for a little bit. you guys keep up the good work, and just get everything done, bottom line.

so i'm going over to the golden nugget to meet lee pappas. today's the day he's gonna make his first $30,000 bet. and i'll tell you what-- i'm excited. so here's the deal. we're gonna go $30,000 on louisville. what we got is louisville playing connecticut. we got louisville at home, -28 points. i know 28 points is a lot, but there's a reason why the spread's so large. connecticut's 0-7. their defense is zero. their team is garb-age. their head coach got fired, and their backup coach sucks. and louisville is going to pound them. if they won by 50, it wouldn't surprise me. -( laughter ) -it's all good. i want to place a $30,000 bet on the louisville game. louisville to win. the limit on that is $10,000. steve: when a sportsbook feels threatened, or they can't off the action, they can limit you. in other words, they can take your limit to 10,000, 15,000. and that's really gonna affect my game plan with lee.

so what's the line, 28? 28.5, louisville's favored. so he wants louisville for 10,000 with the half point minus the 28. can you buy the hook? a hook is a half a point. in other words, if you see a spread at 6.5, the hook is the half point. we can buy the half point. so we want to win 10,000 at 28. i got a client in town that's willing to bet $30,000 a game. you understand, if i don't get that other $20,000, that's a big commission cut for me, and i'm not looking to lose. so here's the deal. we don't have much time left because this game's getting ready to go. i want you to take it over to the d. i know as a fact they'll let you get 20,000 on a game. they're not gonna let you get nothing in if you walk in with me. there's another casino right up the street called the d. i'm gonna have jordan run lee over there. they know me over at the d. they won't let steve stevens fire 20,000, period.

they know i'll break their little sportsbook. dude, this is a ( bleep ) rush. go over there, get the 20,000 on the game, and come right back. we need to get this game in. we have to have 30. this guy only took 10. we need to get the full 30. i've only got ten minutes left. we've only got $10,000. that's not good.

steve: so i sent jordan with lee over to the d to get another $20,000 in, because they'd only let us bet 10,000 here at the nugget. they had a limit to the game. the game just started, and louisville's up 14-0 right off the bat. i'm just hoping that they got to the d in time, because i want 30,000 on this game, not 10. there's a big difference between a $5,000 commission and a $15,000 commission. ( indistinct chatter ) -you get it in? -right under the wire. barely, barely. -this close. -well, it's 14-0. -is this you? -yeah, excuse me. that's good enough. you've got, like, a 7. -double this one? -oh, yeah, grab your balls. -ha ha! -anything else i can do? steve: dude did what i asked him to do. it's my turn to win the game now. he put the ticket in, he's a little bit nervous. we're playing blackjack, i'm trying to take his mind off it. and seems to be working so far.

hit? do it again. put another-- this one again? i can? so it's like a triple-- yeah. anything else i can do for you? anything else i can ( bleep ) do for you? what are the odds of that? in five minutes, you got three blackjacks. so pappas just hits three blackjacks back-to-back-to-back. if his luck rubs off on our game, louisville's a blowout winner, i'll end up with a beautiful happy ending to this day. i don't know if you're sleeping with a leprechaun, but you definitely got the luck of the irish. steve wants me to meet a new client today. he's a professional poker player, and he's a multi-multi- multi-millionaire. this guy's living in a 27,000-square-foot house that's just his house in vegas. poker players sometimes make good sports betters because they do have a discipline and a money management style. if i can get them to believe that there is a money management and style for them to bet sports,

they can stick to it because they're professionals. -hey, what's up, buddy? -hey, buddy. -how's it going? - good to see you. i'm glad you called. i like your shirt. tell me a little bit about you, bro. well, poker and sports betting has been my life for the last six years. i used to work for a big bank in england. i figured i could earn more money in the betting world, which i've always done right from the age of, like, 18, which is the legal age in england. and then i have a lot of contacts that help me with sports betting in england as well. but i have nobody out here. for you not to have anybody in vegas, right on the strip, right on the pulse, you're missing out. i'm always looking for the edge. -i would do that for you in a heartbeat. -okay. this guy's 37 years old and retired. you want to pick my brain, bro? hell yeah. and the game today? what do you want to bet on it? i was thinking-- because today is day 1 of the plan--

i'm happy with 500 today. -should we go with that? -that's fine. but, for you, i would make an even 1,000. -to be honest. -okay. -is that cool? -yeah, that's cool. so we'll go a dime. let's kick it off, put the first game in, and roll over to the sportsbook. sure, that sounds like a plan. we're gonna have fun. i think we have the potential to make this absolutely fantastic. i like that. absolutely fantastic. we'll start today and we'll build up-- hell yeah. you don't go into gold's gym the first day -and start throwing up the whole thing. -i hear you. if you did that, i'd think you were stupid. absolutely. get this thing in. today i'm using steve's pick-- wisconsin over byu, -8. and the reason this is a good pick-- because wisconsin has the size and the speed to wear out that little byu team. wisconsin all the ( bleep ) way.

let's make some money tonight. hey, buddy. i need the line on the wisconsin game. wisconsin? sure. i think it was, like, 8.5. -9. can we buy a point on that? get it down to 8? you can only do half a point, actually. buy that half point. let's do $1,000, -8.5. the books wouldn't let wayne buy a full point. the reason they do that is 'cause there's a very thin line in this game between winning and losing, and when they see that we want to manipulate it a little bit, they don't like it. cheers, buddy. thanks a lot. yeah! listen, i gotta get back to vip. um, let's get this game in as a winner, and then i'll call you tomorrow. great to see you, buddy. speak to you tomorrow. go have fun. i'll talk to you later, bro.

( groans ) steve: so right now, louisville's winning by 28. the spread is -28. if the game lands on 28 as a final, that means it's a push. that means you get your money back. you don't win, you don't lose. can we get a cocktail, please? cocktails! all louisville has to do is get one score-- one touchdown, one field goal--we win. remember, i don't get paid unless you do. on the other side of the token, if connecticut scores, i'm up ( bleep ) creek with no paddle. hey, bud, i know that game's over. you gotta tell me the score. -( bleep ) -what? we got back-doored, dude. they scored with 30 seconds left. steve: ( bleep ) went back. 34 seconds left, connecticut scores a touchdown for no ( bleep ) reason. they drove 80 yards, and back-door, bam, out of nowhere, covers. louisville loses.

i'm sitting here playing blackjack with this guy, thinking to myself, "holy ( bleep )." a ( bleep ) back-door touchdown just cost us the ( bleep ) game. that ( bleep ) hurts. anyway, we'll live to see another day. i can't lose 100,000 in one weekend. i can't do it. i do expect you to be pissed off. but at the same point, don't cut my arm off just yet. lord knows i didn't want to ( bleep ) lose that game, either. that's not good, when you lose the first game out of the box. makes me look like an idiot. let me do my job tomorrow. let me pull it out. let me get us a solid win. and i guarantee you one thing-- after i get you another win tomorrow and bring us back to even, you won't feel like this. if we lose tomorrow, too, that's, like, 60,000-- that's like buying a ( bleep ) car. right, and i know you didn't come out here

to throw your money away. i know that. it's a numbers game. it's one game, it's one loss. did i want to lose this first game? no. but it is what it is. can i get another drink? fair enough? yeah, on that note-- all right, two drinks. these guys claim to be big willies and that they can handle it, and when they lose that first game, things change really fast. it's not like i gave you a game that was a blowout loser. we got back-doored with 34 seconds left. welcome to sports, welcome to gambling. that happens. let's dust ourselves off. i'll do my job. and i guaran- ( bleep )-tee you i will come back strong. dude, i gotta go chill out for a minute. huh? i gotta walk it off. i just--i can't ( bleep ) sit here. all right. hey... will you follow him and make sure he's all right? all right. ( bleep )

honest with you, that was a ( bleep ) day. louisville got back-doored in the last 20 seconds, and lee pappas lost his deal. however, i gotta keep my eye on the prize, which is my family life, no matter how stressful this business is. forgot how good-looking you are. it takes a little while to pop back in shape after you have a baby. well, you gotta do what you gotta do. how's work? what's going on on your phone? you look a little sidetracked right now. well, i mean, i got that client in town, i wined and dined-- -which one? -lee. ever since we lost the big game, i haven't talked to him since. but i'm not worried about that. i brought you out. i just want a happy household. i love my son, i love her, i love her kids, and, uh, it's just what gets me through. -we're on a nice date tonight. -of course we are. so put the phone down and pay attention to kelly. i'll be right back. tell this waiter to get us another couple of drinks.

steve's checking his phone to see what's going on with the game, whether it's up or down. -cocktails. -and i think he's trying, but i can't force him to be a certain way. i've never been able to. you can't do that with anybody. you can't change anybody. pirelli. wisconsin winner, baby! steve: wisconsin over byu-- just one of my four winners i had today for about 200 clients. you know what that means. all right, you're doing good, keep it up. -well? -he's cool. good, now we can enjoy our evening. unless you're gonna keep worrying about lee. let's have fun. let's have fun. you're looking kind of horny and glossy. what's going on? ( laughs ) tell my mom to watch him an extra couple of hours? we'll have to go to the house anyways. unless you're gonna get a room, like old times. get a room, like old times. no, you'll do it. yeah, i'm ready.

i've got one. this game goes from $500 here in vegas, okay? i guarantee you tomorrow morning when we talk, you're gonna tell me you wish you bet twice as much on the game. i guarantee you that. believe me, sir, i'm a little bit upset about last night's loss, too. but today's a whole different day. steve: lee's coming off a rough loss. was he pissed? he was pissed the ( bleep ) off. grab a pen so i can tell you what we're gonna do today. today's the day i'm gonna get us back to even. my biggest problem's gonna be, right now, to convince him to go another 30,000 to get your money back, and then we'll go from there. yeah, i completely understand how you feel, but you knew what you were doing. did i plan on losing the first game? absolutely not. will this game come back and break you even? that you can take to the bank. i guarantee you as a businessman as well as a gentleman this game, on a 1 to 10, is an 11. thank god i walked lee pappas off the ledge.

he's okay with the loss, he knows we got back-doored, and he agreed, and we're back to betting $30,000 a game. i'm ready to get paid. we're taking new mexico versus air force. we're pounding the air force today. the reason i'm so confident in this play in taking new mexico is because they have a better running team, better passing team. air force is horrible on the road. to me, they're one of the worst teams in the division. don't get me wrong-- both teams aren't that good. but i'm truly confident new mexico can run over this team, cover the spread and get the job done. this game's gonna shine in the dark. ha ha ha! i have absolutely no desire whatsoever to watch this game with lee. and to be honest with you, he probably doesn't have any desire to watch it with me, either. you got it, my friend. see you later, lee. last night, the way he was looking at me, i felt steam coming off his ( bleep ) eyes. and i'm letting you know that if this game doesn't come through, more than likely, i'm gonna lose this guy.

ohh, what a ( bleep ) day. the office is a mess without paula. steve's so stubborn, he won't even reach out to her. and this is affecting my money. so i'm gonna go ahead and try to start smoothing the thing over and just get her back. how are you? what is going on? if i can't help get her back, then nobody can. total chaos. gil's backed up. the phones were ringing. -he was answering phones. -( laughs ) -"let me transfer that." -oh, my god. -oh, my god. -he was stressing out today. good, good. you're happy that our ( bleep ) room's a mess? i'm not happy, but i'm glad that he sees he can't be like that. sometimes steve might forget, you know, that things don't run smooth when both of us aren't there, you know, until he sees it. honestly, though, he needs you back. you guys have known each other a long time. i know, but he can't do that.

when he was 19 and he came to work for our company, no matter all the crap that he did-- 'cause he did some very disrespectful ( bleep )-- we gave him a chance, and he shined. i met steve almost 20 years ago. me and my ex-husband ran a sales business, and he worked as a salesperson. vip might be his company, but at the end of the day, he knows that i don't work for him. he knows i work with him. and i'm pissed. -i love him like a brother. -yes. but sometimes my brother is an ass-( bleep ). that's the only way i can put it. i want you to come back, though. i'll speak my piece. come back-- have you talked to him at all about me? -yeah, i did tell him to suck it up. -what'd he say? he was, like, "we need her back!" i was, like, "suck it up, get her back." i could use a nice louis vuitton purse. ( laughter ) just sayin'.

-lee. -steve, what's happening, oracle? buddy, it was close, but it got the job done. -easy winner. -beautiful. is your confidence back now? it's back, buddy. steve: here it was, less than 24 hours ago, this guy is looking at me like he wants to kill me, like he wants to catch a flight home. i come right back with a winner. boom. i know you were down and out on that first win, and i don't like to see you like that at all, but i got another one tomorrow that we'll definitely get the money n. we're gonna send you out of town with a big bang. and i'm gonna put that smile on your face and send that suitcase a little bit heavier than how it showed up. fair enough? -fair enough. thank you. -have a good night. steve: we're one win and one loss going into tomorrow, and i know this-- sunday's gonna be a big day for me. that you can take to the bank. so i'm finally just starting to realize

how bad i really did screw up with paula. with this new mexico blowout winner under my belt, looks like it's off to the jewelry store again for another apology present. mordecai. i'm back again! i'd better start watching what i say to people, or i'm gonna go broke around here. ha ha ha! did you screw up again? yeah, actually, i got myself in a bit of a bind. -hello. -hi, how are you? -natalie, nice to you see. -nice to see you. what are we shopping for? i'm just getting a good friend of mine that's worked for me for years-- kind of crossed the line, was mean to her. want to show her how much i really care about her. but, uh, i figure this is the best way. -for sure. -how much is that bracelet? after your discount, will be 24,000. i don't know if i missed up this bad. you can't be cheap with an apology. i know, but you can't go 30 gs, either. do you have anything else that we can look at? this one, you can have for 14,000.

i say we go with that one, for sure. when you say you're sorry to paula, it needs to come from the heart and your checkbook at the same time. so just put it on my account. there we go. have a good day. ( overlapping chatter ) ( ringing ) hey, buddy. wayne. how'd you like that wisconsin 27, byu 17, baby? absolutely fantastic. we got one game under our belt, and it's always good to win the first game, 'cause it sets the tone. are you at the sportsbook now? uh-huh. we got a game today going, and i'm gonna need you to get on denver, but it's at -7. -and you're gonna get that at 6.5. -okay. the pick for today is denver broncos, -7, and, of course, i'm gonna have him buy that half point so we get it at 6.5. we're gonna buy that at 6.5, because if they win by a touchdown,

we want that to be a win for us, not a push for us. -yeah, i like that. -okay, listen buddy... we're going to watch the game, right? yeah, mate, that sounds great. so he'll bet another grand, and it's small money. but trust me-- this guy wins, he'll be ready to bet big, big money, real quick. -anything else? -that's it. -all good? -yes. wonderful. thanks very much. see you later. ( telephone ringing ) so i got the information for the afternoon game. okay. steve: so here we are. super sunday. it's a real big day for me. straight up, this is do or die. we're taking the denver broncos -6.5, possible 7. all of our clients are getting this game today because it's gonna be an absolute blowout winner. and i need you to go down to the nugget. i'll send jordan to go with you so you're safe, so you can get in to win 25,000.

all right, i'll talk to you later. steve: this game's gotta get the job done for me. it'll be the difference between him leaving pissed off or me and him whacking up some money and leaving with a big bang. thank you for meeting me. hi, um... i'm gonna put 25,000 on the denver game, to win. the spread is what? 7.5 even. they have to win by 8. okay. here's your ticket. you're good to go. thank you. he said, "so you bought the hook to 7, right?"

but i didn't. can you change the bet? i specifically told him to bet $25,000 on denver, -7. he bets $25,000 at denver, -7.5. there's a big difference between 7 and 7.5. denver only wins by a touchdown, we lose rather than a push. that extra hook has cost people thousands of dollars. they're gonna let you change it? he said they should. i'll ask him. so i'm sending lee back up to the window to tell him to buy the half point to get this at 7. hi. i'm sorry, desiree. i wanted to buy the hook. can i still buy it? line changes happen all the time. and one thing about lee-- he's a stockbroker. it's almost just like if he gave me ibm at 42, and it moved to 52-- don't you think i'd make a phone call and tell him about the difference? he should've at least made a phone call. if this guy can't buy the hook on the game, i'm gonna be outright ( bleep ) pissed. you can't buy the hook on 7.

no.

( cell phone ringing ) hey, buddy. ain't really in the mood today for the sports bar. i think i got a little better idea. you're gonna like it.

a strip club is better than a sportsbook because there's ( bleep ). and, uh... i like to be around ( bleep ). i like that, i like that. hey, buddy. -there he is! -how's it going? wayne is my kind of guy. when i told him we were going to the strip club instead of the sportsbook, he was pumped. he thought it was the greatest idea in the world. at that point, i was, like, "i really like this guy." yeah. so, so hot. -this girl right here is... -sharice. -sharice. -hello, sharice. this is where i want to be on a sunday morning. she likes to party. -happy days. -ha ha ha! i just look around, there's all these strippers. we got the football on at the same time. best of both worlds. girls and football. i don't know what i like more. look at that. it's vince from vip. i didn't call to waste your time today.

i know you get a lot of these calls. you'll get seven full days of service. steve asked me to give you a call, make sure you get on this east carolina game. it starts at 3:00. we got one more game today as well. the brooklyn nets. i'm not gonna give you a bunch of plays, but we're gonna play a game today, and we're not gonna-- steve: i'm on a phone call, trying to lock in a deal. i just have this strong presence walk by me. i look behind me. it's paula. let me give you a call back. i'll be with you in a little bit, because i've got something that just came up. her walking back-- i didn't know if she was coming with a box to get the rest of her stuff and leave, or what the case was. i just needed to talk to her and tell her exactly how i feel about our situation. because it's been bothering me in a major way. well, what's going on, paula? i haven't heard from you in a week, after, you know, you got a little crazy last saturday. i'm glad to see you here, whether you think i am or not.

and, uh, i've got no excuse for the way i talked to you. i don't know what's on my mind lately, if it's my kid or whatever. but for me to go crazy on you like that, i'm completely out of line. i overreacted. i'm not used to doing that, but i'm sorry. okay. i mean, that's-- but i feel that you should've called me. i'm sorry. that's not the way we roll, and you know that. and by the way, i gotta be honest with you, man, i can't do this without you. you keep the things running that i take for granted. i wonder why the dialer's sitting there, dialing all day. i wonder why everyone's in their booths with leads. and i just think it pops out of the air sometimes. -i don't know. -okay. i've known paula for a long time, and we've worked through these things time in and time out. and hopefully we can move on and get right back to work. that's the plan. i don't know if it's your birthday or not, -but i got you a little something... -shut up! to show you what you do mean to me and my company. just--just something. i want you to see, you never know. okay, that's awesome. oh, wow! nice! i love that!

you went way over and beyond. to lose you, i started adding it up on the calculator, and i realized, uh, i'm in trouble either way. paula: he really didn't need to go out of his way to do all that for me, but it was his way to say, "you really are needed at the office." so it just kind of backed up his apology, and it was beautiful. with that in mind-- hey, no problem. nothing like a $15,000 mistake, huh? ( laughter ) so, earlier in the day, i had sent lee down to the sportsbook to bet denver, -7, against the san diego chargers. but he got them at -7.5. and it's definitely... ( indistinct ) he's brand-new to vegas, he's never put a game in, so i should've took a couple extra minutes out of my day to go down there and show him. because if they only win by 7 and we lose by that hook, i gotta be honest with you, it's my fault.

-good evening. -how are you? i'm good, how are you? welcome to phenol. so, to take his mind off the game, i set him up with something special, let him go relieve a little stress, and hopefully pull in this solid game with the denver broncos. how's your day going so far? well, depends on that. the game's a magnet for my eyeballs. hey, jordan, you think steve's coming down? he won't be able to make it. he wanted to, but he had something come up, and had to handle some business. steve: listen, i'm not gonna hang out with somebody while he's getting his haircut, not with that line at 7.5. i don't need the anxiety. that was not good. all you have to do is ask yourself one question-- do you like making money? go to...

steve: so i got lee to bet the denver broncos, -7.5, to win $25,000. right now, they're up by 15 points. i'm praying--i mean praying-- they can hold on to this lead so this guy doesn't have another heart attack and leave out of here a loser. as long as nothing happens, you're good. i don't need any surprises right now. oh, sheesh. that hurts.

steve: these mother-( bleep ) san diego chargers scored back-to-back touchdowns. now my heart went from being up here with pride to down here to my stomach. 28-20 with 10 minutes. i think manning needs to score. i'm getting a little nervous sitting here with a potential whale of a client, sitting on an 8-point lead with a 6.5-point spread. -i'm doing my job. you're doing your job. -absolutely. and these girls are definitely doing their job. god knows i've been back-doored before, and now is not the time. hey, hey. we've just got this game going on here. peyton manning? that's exactly what we need! that's a sign right there! that is, right there. we got a stripper named payton, and i need the denver broncos today. if that ain't a good omen, i don't know what is.

here, take care of this guy right now. this is my client. give him, like, a double. i gotta pay attention to this game for one second. wait. uh, manning just threw it. just got hit. come on, manning. i'm at a strip club, dude! i don't need the stress. right now, we're covering the spread by 1, but you take away manning and lose our offense, we're gonna be screwed. come on, tough it out, manning! we're on trial here. we have to ( bleep ) win this game. -this is all about you. -i won't let you down, bro! i immediately ordered more drinks and more girls for wayne. -come on, manning! -come on, manning! come on, manning! just in case. ( bleep ) damn!

we got manning hurt with a minute left? i don't like that. -i don't like that, either. -jesus. look at his ( bleep ) knee. we've got denver, -6.5. we're up by 8 late in the fourth quarter. but peyton manning just got hit pretty hard. come on, tough it out, manning! we need a first down, or san diego gets the ball back. here we go. end this ( bleep ). i'm not sure how bad manning's hurt, but he's back in the huddle. you see this, dude? this is it. this is it right here. i don't care what he has to do. all denver needs is one more first down, and they'll be able to run out the clock. yeah! ( laughter ) yeah!

all we gotta do is kneel the ( bleep ) down. just kneel down, dude! yeah! yeah! -uhh! -the game is over. show me the money. i love it, man. all i do is win. when i win a game, i'm pumped. it's not just one game. i won a game yesterday. then we hit the strip club. my client's cool as hell. he's a millionaire, and now he's 2-0. and he's got his face in some chick's ( bleep ). the biggest smile i've ever seen. so it's a good day. ha ha ha! hey, hey... you gonna be my client now, dude? you're my number one. ( bleep ) right. -you're the man. -yeah! 2-0! natural born winner right here! you got that, girl? we're gonna have some fun tonight. mmm-mmm-mmm.

-( laughter ) -sweet. ( indistinct chatter ) that's awesome. -hello? -lee. steve, we won. what's up, baby? denver. winner. denver. winner. we got it, buddy. seems like every game goes down to the end, at least the ones that we're on this weekend. but anyway, that's back-to-back wins. congratulations. it is, it's awesome. thank you very much. steve: i've sent another client home happy, -paid and in the shade. -sweet, dude. i gave him my word that i'd make him money, and that's exactly what i did. unbelievable weekend. -this is it. -this is it, buddy. i can't believe it. -it's heavier. -hey. ( laughter ) buddy. -what a weekend. -unbelievable. we didn't hit half a mil or nothing like that,

but i gave you my word we were gonna tear it up. i gave you my word we were gonna make money. i gave you my word you were gonna leave out of here a little heavier than you came here. -am i a man of my word? -you are. this winning week right here brought my confidence back to a whole 'nother level, because at the end of the day, i made a lot of money, i lost one game on a back-door, and overall, i gotta give myself a pat on the back. i hope i showed you vegas in the best ways. you did, absolutely. -all right, be safe. -take care, thank you. i patched things up with kelly, paula's back at work, my salesmen are excited as hell. family and a good business is all i've asked for, and that's what i got this week, so i'm proud. so all i can tell you in this world is, uh, hard work and dedication, stick to everything you know, and that's just another day in the life of steve stevens. all right, fellas. you have a good night, and, uh, see you later. ♪ if money talks then i got a lot to say ♪
