Alan Boston was on Leroy's Sports Hour on Nov. 8th. He may be abrasive and a borderline lunatic, but he's also highly engaging and as close to a genius as a degenerate sportsbettor can be. I could listen to him talk all day long.

Of the high profile guys, I enjoy listening to him above most.Comment -
I heard the interview last night as well. Yeah he is a bit of a dick....cocky for sure but really knows his stuff as well as anyone when it comes to college hoops....he also a degree from an Ivy league school so there is probably a lot of truth to the lunacy claim. He's had some tough years I heard and is now part of the "sports advisory" business...but I could be wrong there.
On a side note, a book called The Odds by Chad Millman profiles Alan Boston and two other Las Vegas personalities during the 1999-2000 NCAAB basketball season. It paints a very dark picture of a professional gambler's life and the roller coast ups and downs that gamblers experience. Without a doubt, it is the best gambling book I ever read and is a real page turner. You can get it from your local public library....lot of insights I took away from that book. Well worth it.Comment -
Alan is a pro and is not part of any advisory board. He hit 90% of his 2006 NCAA March Madness plays. He is the real deal.Comment -
Well the book I referenced mentioned him entering the sports advisory business and some down years he was having.....but he is a pro and is considered as good as it gets in NCAABComment -
I've never heard of Alan selling picks.Comment -
I enjoyed listening to yesterday's show...he definitely is knowledgable...Comment -
