What ever happenend to cbb guru Alan Boston??

I think it was laregely pure luck If he had grown up loving the NFL, instead of CBB, I really think he would have bet that.......and gotten crushed IMO. He lucked out....his passion for sports was the easiest sport to beat.......just by chance. Maybe I'm biased. Boston is a classic Bully......LOVES to call everyone an idiot, but heaven forbid you bring up some of his shortcomings, and then you get the speech about how dare you question him on anything.

Dozens of Examples I think you were there when Boston Cursed out the dealer at the Palms, who didn't use proper technique to sweep in the raise. The guy has called Coach K an idiot over and over and over. In fact, he has called out pretty much everyone from Arne Lang to myself as being idiots over his career. But when Boston tells all to lays 7 on NE in the SB, when NE was -6.5 for 5 days, AND NE was -210 to -220 on the ML, and he gets called out for giving horrific advice, he goes CRAZY and we get the speech "How DARE you question me!! EVERYTHING I say is straight from the HEART, REAL and HONEST". Whatever. You're the greatest Alan. NO one could question YOUR abilities in YOUR chosen profession, betting on sports to win, right?

what tips me off is that when boston was picking games, he was seemingly watching way too much basketball to be any good at betting on it. he makes conclusions off of games where the noise to information ratio is off the charts.. instead of getting good bets and good numbers he was sitting in front of the tv screaming

The Irony: Boston yells at worker for being incompetent. at what they do Nice guy. I miss him.

[QUOTE=Fezzik;11955]Nice guy. I miss him.[/QUOTE] you miss him? he's not dead. i forgot that all your methods are 100% mathematically accurate.
