Alan Boston feature, nice to put a face with a name. I read about him in my book "The Odds" was expecting someone 15 years older.

No way the ratings would be the same without gambling....

Where did this guy come from, his survey lol! The other two guys are laughing at him...

 

[DavidMatthews]

I watched it. Will this be replayed or will it be possible to pay to watch it on the Net? I want some others to see it.

By the way, the guy in the middle was piss poor. Too bad they couldn't find a better representative for the cause.

David it should be again on espn2 at 11:30 P.M. our time.

Did they really have to show him turning on the tv with his toes?I almost threw up I hate feet.

The time that ESPN really got it right in using a ringer on the floor, was about 7 years ago, when in a piece on tourney gambling, they had Bob Ley hounding Stevie Z on the floor of The Mirage, asking him questions as he opened a UPS manilla full of 10K wraps, and Ley kept asking where he got it, and whose money was he moving?..the tight-lipped sh!t eating smile he had was great!

Watching the show right now. Really interesting. That Alan Boston seems like a cool uuy. If I lost as much as he did on Thursday, I would chase that camera guy out of my house with a chainsaw.

But I refuse to believe he's a pro gambler. I mean, he lost all that money betting on the favorites. Like StJoe's-23 for like 7 or 8 grand? What a dipsh!t..

Have to agree Mvbski, Boston is obviously one of the most intelligent players around by reputation, and in "The Odds" he was a great storyline.

Any guy that has that level of respect by the BMs, has it for a reason, even if they even shape or move numbers on limits or opinion-sized plays.

It seems that all the great ones take a breather from LV in the summer, be it family, going back East, Golf, Travel, or Fishing..recharge for MLB stretch run,foots, and all that the early fall brings.
