Darin Notaro (born 1974), also known by his professional name Steve Stevens, is an American sports tout,〔 sports betting consultant,〔 and a reality television personality.〔 Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, early in his life he worked as a telemarketing salesman, with a childhood interest in sports betting. He began working as a professional sports handicapper in 2001, eventually founding the sports betting consultancy VIP Sports Las Vegas in 2010 as Steve Stevens.〔 The company gives clients tips on which major college and pro sports teams to bet on,〔 with all final betting picks made by Notaro.〔
In 2013 Notaro and his employees were featured in the CNBC reality show ''Money Talks'',〔 which was produced by All3 Media America.〔 On the show viewers see him and his staff going about their lives in Las Vegas, as well as on the phone interacting with customers and making sales pitches.〔 After promotional material for the show aired publicly, Notaro's criminal record led to a fair amount of controversy in the press.〔〔 Wrote ''Variety'', the later episodes of the show, "Stevens is profiled as he works the angles of high-stakes betting and tries to settle into traditional family life."〔 Executive producers included Stephen Lambert and Eli Holzman.〔
==Early life==
Darin Notaro was born in 1974〔 in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he spent his childhood.〔 His mother worked as a singer at the Sundance Hotel for around fifteen years, while his father worked as a craps dealer.〔 Notaro states that he has been involved with gambling his entire life, and by the age of twelve he was betting parlays.〔 He was also an avid sports fan〔 and had an interest in sports betting.〔 As a teenager he took his first job as a salesman at a telemarketing company,〔 and the year before he graduated high school he says he was paid over a quarter-million dollars in commissions.〔 In 1995, he and several fellow employees were indicted for wire fraud and abetting a telemarketing scam〔 operated by the business owners.〔〔 Though Notaro has since stated that he had been unaware of the racket〔 and was just hired "to read a script,"〔 he was sentenced to eighteen months in jail〔 and later served time for violating probation.〔〔 About his early career as a salesman, he has stated "when I looked back on what I did, I knew that it was wrong, but I realized that I wasn't really such a bad guy. I just realized I took my sales talent and was selling the wrong product."〔
