A great Tuesday show comes your way on BangTheBook Radio with host Adam Burke this week. We'll welcome back last week's first-time guest Brian Blessing from Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline to chat some NFL for Week 16.

Two segments were all that we were missing from a terrific week of BangTheBook Radio and we brought those to you on this Friday December 15 edition of the show. Host Adam Burke is looking to finish strong with the 2017 Westgate SuperContest and he has gone 8-2 over the last two weeks, so he enlisted the help of Joe Everett from NFL Draft Bible once again. Adam and Joe talked about the card overall and some of the interesting NFL betting storylines as we head into Week 15. Adam had three picks extremely likely to make the card, a fourth that was more of a pick than a lean, and also hit on a couple of leans with his NFL betting picks for the SuperContest. Brent from DSI Sportsbook also joined us for this week's version of The Odds Report. We're not seeing a ton of sharp money just yet in college football, which led to an interesting discussion between the guys. They talked about when to expect that kind of investment from sharps and did hit on the bowl games that have seen notable money. The NFL has been a bit

Two professional handicappers join us today on what we like to call our Thursday Meeting show.

We'll talk some NFL with him, as we focus on the Cardinals vs. Redskins and Cowboys vs. Raiders. The majority of the segment will be dedicated to talking college hoops. It has been a light schedule lately with the exam breaks for the majority of the teams. Most get back on track this weekend. Ralph will share some betting angles in those spots, including thoughts on the best and worst ATS teams so far and some top picks for

It has been a really good week on BangTheBook Radio and we have no intention of slowing down. Our Wednesday edition of the show will feature our two regular guests, as we chat with Bryan Leonard from Wager Talk and also Wes Reynolds.

We've got three new voices coming your way on BangTheBook Radio for this Tuesday edition of the show.

We are back again with BangTheBook Radio. This Monday edition of the show will be a kickoff to what should be a fantastic week on the program. Host Adam Burke starts it up with Joe Everett of NFL Draft Bible for the NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview. The Patriots and the Dolphins are in the MNF spotlight today and we'll look back at an exciting Week 14 with thoughts on the loss of Carson Wentz for the Eagles, the struggling Titans, the Packers, the Jets, and the shenanigans at the end of the Seahawks vs. Jaguars game.

We've had a great week on BangTheBook Radio with some excellent shows and some brilliant analysis from our guests. We wrapped it up with two segments that you know and love. The Westgate SuperContest Selections segment allows us to get a look at host Adam Burke's thought process for the upcoming NFL weekend. We had Joe Everett of NFL Draft Bible back on the show to bounce thoughts and ideas off of during this segment as Adam talked about three picks that he really likes for this weekend and a couple of leans. This is a good overview of the NFL betting card and the SuperContest is always fun to discuss. Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us as our final guest of the week for this week's version of The Odds Report. The Army/Navy game has sharp money involvement, but the focus of the college football part was mostly to look at bowl season and talk about how that process goes from managing risk to raising limits to everything in between. Some games have seen sharp betting already, so Brent touched on those games w

Our Thursday Meeting show is back for another go-round this week with two professional handicappers and host Adam Burke on BangTheBook Radio. We'll start it off with Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com. The guys will chat about Adam's thoughts from the introduction of this week's Power Ratings article, in which Adam made some bold statements that may be viewed as controversial in the handicapping community. The guys also discussed bowl season approaches, when to look for movements in the marketplace, and some of the more intriguing matchups that look like exciting games. The guys also hit on a couple NFL games with the Vikings vs. Panthers and Cowboys vs. Giants. Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com is today's other guest. We'll get his college football bowl season thoughts on a lot of those same concepts that we discussed with Brad. Everybody has a different approach to the bowl season, so we'll hear Ralph's and see how it aligns with those that we've heard from other guests this week. We'll then go in a dif

It's Hump day and we're getting through the middle of the week with this Wednesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will be joined by two guests today, as we chat bowl season betting strategies and NFL with Bryan Leonard from WagerTalk.com and talk the same plus college basketball with Wes Reynolds. Bryan's bowl strategy may be a little bit different than most, so we're going to compare and contrast how Adam and Bryan approach the bowl games. They'll also take a look at some key NFL matchups with the Saints vs. Falcons, Seahawks vs. Jaguars, and Eagles vs. Rams. With yet another BlogTalkRadio screw-up, we were unable to patch Wes Reynolds into today's show, so host Adam Burke took a look at the NBA card and touched on a couple of really good situational betting spots for our listeners to take advantage of on the hardwood.

A couple of familiar voices join us on today's edition of BangTheBook Radio, as we look to specialize in one college sports conference and then chat a little bit of NBA. Host Adam Burke will start things off with Alex Nicolas of Miner Rush, the SB Nation home of the UTEP Miners.

Another week begins here on BangTheBook Radio with a lot of stuff to talk about.

Two segments were left to go on what has been a solid week on BangTheBook Radio. We certainly had a different start to the week with our host on vacation, but the show went on and we've done everything we can to consistently bring you the best and brightest that the sports betting industry has to offer. On this Friday edition of the show, host Adam Burke talked about his Week 13 Westgate SuperContest picks with the help of Joe Everett from NFL Draft Bible. The guys discussed last week's results, this week's overall card, and then focused on Adam's opinions, with three solid picks and a set of leans to pick two more games from. Joe offered some support and also some counterpoints to allow the guys to take a full 360-degree look at these NFL betting options. Brent, a risk manager at DSI Sportsbook, is once again managing risk based on the actions of sharp bettors. With conference championship games, we had a smaller number of college football sharp action, but the guys were able to dig a bit deeper into those

We're getting over the hump of what is a very busy sports week with this Wednesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will chat with two savvy and sharp handicapping minds today, with the first being Bryan Leonard from WagerTalk.com. The guys will hit on Bryan's specialty with the MAC Championship Game between Akron and Toledo and then focus on the NFL.

We're ready and raring to go with a new edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will be joined by two guests today, as we chat NBA with the great Philip Rossman-Reich from Orlando Magic Daily to start things off. The guys will hit on how to approach this month of the season between holidays, since it is widely believed that the season technically starts on Christmas.

We're back on the airwaves with this Monday edition of BangTheBook Radio. After a hectic week last week, we'll try to bring some sense of normalcy back to the program this week. We'll start by checking on the NFL with Joe Everett of NFL Draft Bible for the NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview. The guys will preview the Texans vs. Ravens game and then look back at Week 12, with special attention focused on the Jaguars/Cardinals game, the mess that is the the Broncos, a shaky Bears team, and skepticism about the Falcons. Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com joins us for our Week 14 College Football First Look, but we'll incorporate some more college hoops into the mix once again.

The show must go on. You've heard that a time or two, I'm sure, but that was the theme this week on BangTheBook Radio. Between audio issues and the holiday, it has been a trying week, but the show went on and we brought you the content that you expect. Host Adam Burke had two items of business left to take care of this week on the show. The first was the Westgate SuperContest Selections segment with Wes Reynolds once again pinch hitting for Sports Cheetah. The guys recapped what we saw last week in the SuperContest and then talked about Adam's approach to Week 12, which included a Thursday Night game. Adam had five other plays that he discussed and had to cut it down to four after the show, but he hit on his stats, trends, and information that helped him to a decision. We also chatted with Brent from DSI Sportsbook for this week's version of The Odds Report. Sharp money is out there in the college football and NFL betting markets and it is moving lines. Brent hit on a list of games that has seen that wiseguy

We fell short of expectations on Labor Day by not being able to do a show. We weren't going to let the Thanksgiving holiday pass us by. Host Adam Burke was joined by Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com for this week's Powers Picks segment, which functioned as our Thursday show. About 45 minutes worth of top-notch college football handicapping is a good start to the day. The guys talked about Brad's approach to rivalry games and then hit on a whole slew of Week 13 matchups. They hit rivalry games like North Carolina vs. North Carolina State, Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State, Arizona vs. Arizona State, Oregon State vs. Oregon, Colorado vs. Utah, and Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee, but also hit on non-rivalry games with interesting betting angles like Miami vs. Pitt, Southern Miss vs. Marshall, and Old Dominion vs. Middle Tennessee State. This was an awesome segment and we wish all of our listeners a very happy Thanksgiving.
