  • NCAA Tournament Bets, Potential Cinderellas & the Mob in Las Vegas | ALAN BOSTON & KRACKMAN
    Legendary sports bettors Bill “Krackman” Krackomberger and Alan Boston sit down for another fascinating hour of stories, betting insight, and classic Vegas history. The show opens with an incredibly sad and shocking story involving the flamingos at the Flamingo Las Vegas, setting the tone for a conversation that moves from wild Vegas moments to serious college basketball betting talk. Alan Boston dives deep into college basketball and the road to the NCAA Tournament, sharing his thoughts on which teams he believes will make the tournament… and which teams will be left out on Selection Sunday. Boston also breaks down how he approaches betting conference tournaments, where sharp bettors often find some of the best edges of the entire season. Along the way, Boston shares old-school Las Vegas stories from the mob era, giving a glimpse into what gambling culture was like in the city decades ago. The conversation also takes a fascinating turn into one of the most talked-about gambling topics in tournament betting — whether bettors have ever received information about basketball rims at college tournament sites and how much that could potentially impact shooting and totals. Finally, Boston discusses whether there are any true longshots with a real chance to make a deep run in March Madness, and what bettors should look for when hunting for a Cinderella story. If you love sharp betting insight, classic Vegas gambling stories, and March Madness strategy, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
