Bangthebook.com - Sports Betting Radio

Just because it is a short holiday week elsewhere doesn't mean that it is on BangTheBook Radio. It will still be Hump Day for us with a full five days of progamming. Host Adam Burke will be joined by two very smart handicappers on the Wednesday edition of the show, as we chat with Bryan Leonard from WagerTalk.com to kick things off. The guys will discuss some of the same talking points that we have addressed throughout the week regarding rivalry games and those betting angles. They'll hit on some MACtion with Western Michigan vs. Toledo, Ohio vs. Buffalo, and then a Sunshine State rivalry game between Florida State and Florida. On the NFL side, we'll have some Turkey Day football talk with a look at Vikings vs. Lions. Wes Reynolds also joins us for this week's Wednesday Wagering with Wes Reynolds segment. On this week's segment, the guys will chat about betting the NBA and NHL prior to the holiday and also talk about situational betting opportunities in those two markets. They will also chat about some obser

A frustrating start to the week to be sure, but we're fighting through it here on BangTheBook Radio. We certainly made up for Monday's problems with an outstanding Tuesday edition of the show. Sports Cheetah from WagerTalk.com joined host Adam Burke for a comprehensive breakdown of all things college football here on Hate Week. The guys talked about a lot of general betting angles about this week and then explored those concepts using specific games. Does Cheetah make any power ratings adjustments to rivalry games? Is the "must-win" factor built into the line for five-win teams? The guys applied those concepts to games like The Game between Ohio State and That Team Up North, the Egg Bowl, the Apple Cup, South Florida vs. UCF, Ohio vs. Buffalo, North Texas vs. Rice, Florida Atlantic vs. Charlotte, the Iron Bowl, and so much more. If you're betting college football this weekend, don't do it without listening to this show first.

A new week starts up on BangTheBook Radio with two outstanding segments. Host Adam Burke will start on the NFL side with Joe Everett of NFL Draft Bible for the NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview. The guys will discuss the Monday Night Football game between the Seahawks and the Falcons, paying special attention to the matchups and the X's and O's that can help you win a bet. They'll talk a look back at Week 11 and touch on the slumping Kansas City Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills, and the Baltimore Ravens, and the Tennessee Titans. Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com will join us for the Week 13 College Football First Look, but the guys are also adding a bit of college basketball to the mix. They'll start by talking about betting approaches to rivalry games and whether or not that factor really means that much. They'll also break down a few games by talking about Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State, Virginia Tech vs. Virginia, and South Florida vs. UCF. The Pick Six segment and Kyle's exclusive free

Two items of business were left for this week on BangTheBook Radio. Two of our favorite segments, in fact. Host Adam Burke went over all five of his plays for Week 11 in the Westgate SuperContest with pinch hitter Wes Reynolds, who filled in for Sports Cheetah this week. Because Adam played the Thursday Night Football game, all five picks were submitted, so he talked about the thought process for his games and gave news, notes, stats, and trends in support of his NFL betting picks. Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us once again for another edition of The Odds Report. After a discussion on the heavy game day line moves that we are seeing this season, the guys talked about sharp money in both the college football and NFL betting markets. Sharp players have been very active again this week and hit sides and totals that had value. Brent hit on those games, talked about his wager counts and money amounts, and discussed where those lines may move as we get closer to kickoff. This view from the other side of the co

Two items of business were left for this week on BangTheBook Radio. You know 'em. You love 'em. The first was the Westgate SuperContest Selections segment with host Adam Burke of the Bang The Book Podcast entry. Adam was joined once again by Sports Cheetah, as the guys talked about some noteworthy elements of the SuperContest, including last week's Colts/Texans stale line.

On the college football side, the guys will cover West Virginia vs. Kansas State and Boise State vs. Colorado State. On the NFL sid

Two guests join us today as we push through the middle of the week on BangTheBook Radio with host Adam Burke.

A lot of NBA teams have now played at least 10 games, so we'll check in with Wes about teams he's looking to buy or teams he's looking to sell in the coming days and weeks.

We missed out on the College Football First Look on Monday, but we more than made up for it with you college football betting fanatics on the Tuesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke was joined by the great Sports Cheetah of WagerTalk.com and PodcastU.Vegas for a look at Week 11 of the college football season during this week's Hunting for Winners segment. The guys talked about some of the different considerations in the month of November and about the dwindling importance of power ratings.

A new week starts out on BangTheBook Radio with host Adam Burke on this November 6 edition of the show. We'll be joined by Joe Everett from NFL Draft Bible for our NFL Week in Review and Monday Night Football Preview. This week's MNF game features the Detroit Lions up against the Green Bay Packers, so the guys will talk about Matt Stafford's regression, Brett Hundley off a bye week, and a whole lot more. As far as the "Review" part, Adam and Joe will address the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks, a fight-filled NFL Sunday, and teams looking ahead to next season. Kyle Hunter is out sick today, so host Adam Burke will take a College Football First Look on his own, as he breaks down some of the more interesting lines of the Week 11 openers. He'll discuss some important handicapping tips for the month of November and talk about some of the differences as the regular season starts to wind down.

To wrap up a fine week of content, we had two segments left to go on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke's Bang The Book Podcast entry sits at 20-20 in the Westgate SuperContest heading into Week 9. We once again enlisted the help of Sports Cheetah to break down the SuperContest card for this week and to talk about a really interesting decision that Adam made in Week 8. Adam had three picks and a lean out of the five plays required for his card, so the guys talked about those and also looked at an overview of the contest as a whole. Brent from DSI Sportsbook joined us for this week's version of The Odds Report. The Deshaun Watson torn ACL news came down just after we recorded the SuperContest, but we did get to talk about it with Brent from the sportsbook's point of view. How do they handle an injury? What is the process for something as big as that? Along with those questions, the guys covered a long list of games with sharp money in the college football and NFL betting markets with a look at where the sharp
