    He known as being pretty good? Nice start, but 106 games isn't indicative of anything.

    I have followed him for awhile now and he has been pretty successful. I don't tail every game, but not someone i'd fade either. Just not someone that too many like around here.

    Its not that people don't like him, its that his time has passed as a successful sports bettor. He was successful pre internet, but those times are LONG GONE. Now he is basically a coin flipper that is in denial...

    I also heard that he got in way over his head with a # of agents at some point over the last decade, and that Howard Lederer bailed him out - this was during the Full Tilt glory days. HL was one of the main benefactors of AB's hot run in college hoops during the 80's & 90's, so I guess he felt he owed it to him...

    Well at least he knows how exponents work and that the current digital dollars that are being printed out of thin air will one day go to Zero

    That is every play he has posted this season, he has gotten hot lately. At one point he was something like 42-38.

    AB is a super intelligent guy. I believe he's starting to adjust to the 21st century. Follow him? Nah. Book his action? Nah, either.

    I have pretty much the same assessment of Boston. I only know of Boston from LVA, and didn't do well there, he basically flipped coins on his plays.

    In a recent thread here about him, I posted that his record on LVA wasn't impressive (I looked it up later, and it was a hair over 50% over 400 plays), and that he'd once mentioned on the LVA conference call that he'd lost over his last 2000 plays. These posts are still publicly accessible on the old LVA board, so I can easily prove that my recollection was accurate. In response, this nitwit went in some Twitter rant calling me a liar, and in his usual primadonna fashion, said that people like me who make up lies are the reason he doesn't participate in gambling forums. No, Alan, the reason you don't participate in gambling forums is that stuff is easily searchable, unlike Twitter, so it's trivially easy for me to find the old posts about your record.
