Bangthebook.com - Sports Betting Radio

Host Adam Burke had a lot to do on today’s edition of BangTheBook Radio. There were three separate segments rolled into one with The Bettor’s Box, the Monday Mailbag, and an early look at the NHL playoffs. Baseball took up the majority of today’s show with some really strong advice and insight that you are definitely not going to find anywhere else out there in the industry. After talking about the great contests being offered at BangTheBook.com and the content available to readers, Adam stepped into The Bettor’s Box and took listeners on a trip around Major League Baseball. He went Beyond the Box Score into some of the most notable series from the weekend. He went Down the Lines to explain some line moves and why he thought the numbers moved the way they did. He also discussed a sabermetric stat of the day, a DFS tip, and pick for Monday night’s action, and also a look ahead at the games coming up before Thursday’s edition of the show. The Monday Mailbag had a handful of listener questions about betting ty

On this edition of The Bettor’s Box, Adam gave some introductory thoughts on what the show is all about and what listeners can expect to hear about. This show featured a Beyond the Box Score look at the series between the Indians and Rangers, Rockies and Brewers, Astros and Mariners, and Giants and Diamondbacks. With the Down the Lines segment, Adam fielded a listener question about predicting line moves and talked about what the big moves mean this time of the year. He picked up on a few trends with teams early on in the season, including a betting angle on the Tampa Bay Rays. Today’s sabermetric stat of the day was his personal favorite offensive statistic and his daily fantasy tip is something that everybody can apply with ease. His top pick actually came from the NHL with a lot of day games on the MLB side, but he did add a MLB pick.

The first installment of our "Tuesday Takeover" show on BangTheBook Radio won't be a whole lot different than what you're used to hearing on Tuesdays. Host Adam Burke will be joined by Bryan Leonard of WagerTalk.com to chat some NBA and also some MLB. Late-season NBA betting is a challenge, but the playoffs are drawing closer and that means that it's about time to re-evaluate some of the NBA teams and see how they are playing heading into the postseason. On the MLB side, Adam and Bryan will discuss the challenges of betting early in the year with a very inefficient market and how that affects his ability to get plays to clients. To wrap things up, Adam will give a few MLB thoughts based on Opening Day and also take a look at the NHL card for tonight.

The last show with our traditional BangTheBook Radio format for a while will be on Monday. We'll start things out with host Adam Burke and the Monday Mailbag segment. Listeners have sent in some interesting questions for this week's segment, so Adam will talk about those and also break into some Major League Baseball betting advice.
