Certainly there are plenty of people who find his schtick amusing and he's certainly knowledgeable about college basketball, but I would be very surprised if a follower would win in the long run following Alan Boston.
I'm actually kinda friends with Alan now, or fairly close to what might actually be considered a friend for him. He's a different sort, to be sure, and has no patience for smalltalk or sarcasm, but he is quite knowledgeable on College basketball, obv, but he seems more concerned with right side than right price, which can obv cut deeply into your profitability. Math-based picking is mostly anathema to him, and he laments what he considers the passing of the days where a guy could just get by on knowledge without all the numbers. Also, his "shtick" isn't a shtick; he's actually like that, almost all the time. With Alan, what you see is what you get, which can be alternately very annoying, frustrating, or awesome. But what you will never get from him is a facade. He is truly one-of-a-kind, and I, for one, count myself as happy to know him. Results certainly vary on that count.

"He is truly one-of-a-kind" - as in, he's a freaking alien whilst everyone else is human?

"Quite knowledgable" ? That's like saying Justin Verlander is an ok pitcher.

Alan's an ok guy too, just wired differently, like a lot of successful pro gamblers. Actually, a lot differently, but he's not malicious.

alan boston is the man when it comes to stud. He was also awesome when it came to his duties on FTP to talk to people and answer/explain plays and reasoning...where most other pros would just block chat.

Ya. Instead of blocking chat he'd do coke and ban chat privileges like a tyrant. Bout accurate for a FTP representative tho.

Calling a man about his looks while being a faceless troll is pretty low imo.

Oh the internet, where people can be complete jerks and not be held accountable.

Alan Boston is a weird looking guy. Nevertheless, shame on those who ridicule him, and shame on the society which permits it.

I had no clue who Alien Boston was until I read this but he seems like a nice enough guy who is probably a poor man's version of Mike the Mouth. He wears his heart on his sleeve and it's hilarious how much he explicitly gets upset about the avatar jokes, which only gives provacation for 2p2-ers to do more ridiculing. All in All, Alien reminds me of a bad guy wrestler in how he handles himself and confrontations. I wonder what his gimmick would be??
