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.

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.

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.
