The Odds: Part 1

The gambler's code of silly pride and outright boasting

Alan Boston is one of the men that IU grad Chad Millman profiled for his book "The Odds," a story surrounding sports gambling during the college basketball season 1999-2000. Millman tracked a couple of professional bettors and a bookmaker -- all living in Las Vegas -- as their fortunes rose and fell with each game. Excerpts of Millman's book, which went on sale March 20, appear in today's IDS.\n
