Bangthebook.com - Sports Betting Radio

We've got a great show coming your way to wrap up the first week of 2017 on BangTheBook Radio. Three guests and three very different segments will be heard on today's show. We'll start things off with a really special interview. James, who won the 2015 Westgate SuperContest as rounding again and finished tied for third in 2016 as Anton Chigurh, joined us to talk about his SuperContest experiences and his strategies for the world's ultimate handicapping test. This NFL betting contest is renowned across the industry and it was so much fun to hear from James and to get that perspective from a SuperContest icon. Next up, we had our weekly version of The Odds Report with Brent from DSI Sportsbook. The guys talked about the College Football Playoff National Championship Game and also about the four Wild Card Weekend games coming up. They also discussed moving the juice around on numbers and talked about what value that has for the bettors and also for the house. Finally, Aaron Saunders of BangTheBook.com and Numb

Two excellent professional handicappers will join us on the BangTheBook Radio airwaves today to cover college football, the NFL, and college basketball. Host Adam Burke will get things started with our good friend Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com for this week's edition of Powers Picks. The guys will chat about the College Football National Championship Game between Alabama and Clemson and also discuss some New Year's Resolutions for Brad as a college football handicapper. What worked? What didn't? What areas need improvement heading into next season? Those are all important questions to ask as you review your season. On the pro side, Brad will give us his assessments of the four NFL Wild Card Weekend games with some free picks on the NFL playoffs action. Ralph Michaels of WagerTalk.com has been an excellent addition to our show over his first three segments and we welcome him back for some top-notch college basketball betting analysis. We'll talk about some of the conference play shenanigans and the upse

Our Hump Day edition of BangTheBook Radio will be one that showcases the variety of topics and guests that we bring to the broadcast. Host Adam Burke will start things off with Alex Nicolas of the SB Nation blog Miner Rush for some Conference USA college basketball betting tips and predictions. We talk about conference specialization on our shows all the time and this is a chance to focus on one of America's less-appreciated mid-majors. We'll chat with Alex about home court advantages in C-USA, about the Thursday and Saturday slates of games for this week, and about what's going on with the UTEP Miners. Wes Reynolds wound up unable to join us on today's segment, so host Adam Burke filled in by talking about some NHL betting stuff and also touching on some important handicapping topics and philosophies. He also added a little bit of analysis at the tail end of the show with a couple of his thoughts for the SBS Tournament of Champions, the first PGA Tour event of 2017 featuring the 32 winners from the 2016 cal

We'll have one-half of our Tuesday Meeting guests here on this week's version of BangTheBook Radio and we certainly have a lot to talk about. Things get underway as host Adam Burke welcomes professional handicapper Bryan Leonard of WagerTalk.com to the broadcast. The guys will cover the four NFL playoff games coming up during the Wild Card Weekend and also take a look at the early line for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.  We'll continue that basketball theme with some NBA insights from writer Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com. It's that time of year when a lot of bettors are transitioning over full-time to betting basketball because it's really the only game in town. We'll chat with Philip about a lot of potential wagering angles, including stuff that only somebody that interacts with a team can share, as well as an update on some of the new head coaches, and so much more.

We're kicking off the 2017 year in style on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will be joined by Joe Everett of NFL Draft Bible for our NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview segment. As it turns out, there's no Monday Night Football this week or for the rest of the playoffs, so maybe we need to rename the segment, but we'll put a wrap on the NFL regular season and then look ahead to the postseason and the Wild Card Round coming up this weekend. Joe's scouting and evaluation background has been a huge help to our listeners and we expect more of the same throughout the NFL playoffs. Professional handicapper Kyle Hunter will join us for an extended segment on Monday's show as we meld the College Football First Look and Handicapping the Hardwood into one segment. For the College Football First Look, the guys will preview Monday night's Sugar Bowl between Auburn and Oklahoma and also look ahead to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game between Alabama and Clemson. On Handicapping

We've got one show left to go for 2016 and you already know what to expect. Host Adam Burke will lead listeners through our two regular Friday segments to send us off into the New Year on a high note. First, Adam and Cole Ryan break down their thoughts for Week 17 of the Westgate SuperContest and share four of their five picks for this season-ending card. The guys also share their opinions and predictions for the remaining games during the Rapid Fire Rundown segment. We'll also be joined by Brent from DSI Sportsbook for this week's version of The Odds Report. There were some sharp line moves on both the college football side and the NFL side, so it was a great time to discuss those with such a difficult Week 17 on the horizon. You can choose to follow the guys on "The List" or take your chances going against them, but it's all about providing the information that you need to make the most informed wager possible.

Our 90-minute mega show is coming up on Thursday December 29 and listeners everywhere are excited to hear from three terrific guests to help you close out 2016 on a high note. Host Adam Burke will start things off by chatting with Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com for this week's Powers Picks segment. The guys will discuss the bowl games coming up on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, including the Orange Bowl, Citrus Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and the College Football Playoff Semifinals. They'll also discuss some NFL games for Week 17. After Brad, we'll shift the focus to the hardwood with Ralph Michaels of WagerTalk.com to look at some college basketball action coming up this weekend. The guys will look back at a couple of recent results and then look ahead to some good situational betting opportunities and discuss the differences between non-conference play and conference action. College basketball betting free picks and tips from one of the best. Finally, we'll wrap up the show with Jay Primetown of MMAOdd

It's time to focus on the NFL and we certainly have a lot to focus on during Week 17. It is a very challenging week for handicapping. Fortunately for our BangTheBook Radio listeners, we are going to get you going in the right direction. Host Adam Burke will be joined by Cole Ryan for this week's Gridiron Gambling Report segment. On this segment, the guys talked about ways to be prepared for this week with some important NFL betting tips. They also broke down four games, including the Buffalo Bills against the New York Jets, the New Orleans Saints against the Atlanta Falcons, and the Green Bay Packers against the Detroit Lions. With Wes Reynolds unable to join us due to a scheduling conflict, host Adam Burke will wrap up the show by elaborating a little bit on some of the NHL thoughts that he discussed on Monday's show and also look at some situational betting opportunities in the NBA.

The holiday weekend has altered our schedule a little bit here on BangTheBook Radio, but our commitment to bringing you the best and brightest in the industry is something that we take very seriously. We won't have our traditional "Tuesday Meeting" show today, but we have one of our favorite guests and a fixture here on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will be joined by Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com for our two weekly segments with him. First, we'll have our College Football First Look with a bevy of bowl games free picks, including the Peach Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl with the four College Football Playoff Semifinals teams, Ohio State, Alabama, Washington, and Clemson. In the second part of today's show, our Handicapping the Hardwood college basketball segment takes center stage. Kyle always has a lot of terrific information to share with listeners and conference play is starting up for most teams this week or next week, so that will be a topic of conversation. The guys will discuss some specific gam

We'll ease back into things here on BangTheBook Radio coming out of the holiday weekend. We've got a couple of guest switches going on with holiday travel and the like, but this train never stops running. On this Monday December 26 edition, we'll welcome back our friend Joe Everett of NFL Draft Bible for our NFL Week in Review & Monday Night Football Preview. Many of the playoff spots have already been decided, which will impact Week 17 in a big way. Before we start Week 17, we'll have to take a look at the Monday Night Football game between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys. Along with Joe's analysis on that game, we'll talk about several things coming out of Week 16 and also see how these teams are shaping up for the NFL playoffs. With Kyle Hunter joining us for a full hour on Tuesday's show, host Adam Burke will take this opportunity to talk about a few NHL betting things with a condensed schedule coming up between now and the All-Star Break in late January. He'll also touch on some recent MLB

Listeners of BangTheBook Radio already know what to expect from our Friday shows and we're certainly not going to flip the script heading into a holiday weekend. Our two regular segments came across loud and clear on the airwaves. Host Adam Burke was joined by Cole Ryan for the Week 16 Westgate SuperContest Selections segment. Unlike most weeks, the guys actually had their entire five-play card ready to go for this show, so listeners don't have to play the guessing game about their fifth pick. The Rapid Fire Rundown ended the segment with picks on all remaining NFL games to help you with your NFL capping this weekend. Brent from DSI Sportsbook gives us an oddsmakers' perspective on the weekend at hand and it's always interesting to hear what the sharp players have invested in. Some long-term college football looks on upcoming bowl games, including a sharp move on the Ohio State vs. Clemson game, were discussed. A long, long list of NFL action was covered as sharp players seem eager to dive in on what appears

Two great professional handicappers will join us for our Thursday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke is fired up for today's show, which will feature Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com for a comprehensive breakdown of a lot of bowl games and also for Week 16 of the NFL season. College basketball betting expert Ralph Michaels of WagerTalk.com will also be on the broadcast. With Brad, we'll introduce a lot of bowl games that we have not yet discussed on the show, as the focus is fully on next week's bowl action, since we've gotten a lot of input on the upcoming games for this weekend. Too many bowl games to list in the description will be discussed, so listeners should simply tune in to find out which games and which sides or totals Brad is looking at for the college football postseason. We'll also talk about some games that stand out for Brad on the NFL side this weekend. Ralph Michaels is a spectacular college basketball handicapper and he likes to use a lot of situational betting angles to his

Wednesday means that it's time to really start focusing on the NFL card. We've done that a little bit here already this week, but the spotlight shines on the pro football betting market with the Week 16 version of the Gridiron Gambling Report. Host Adam Burke and Cole Ryan had a ton to talk about this week, with a majority of teams forced to play on a short week with the Christmas holiday on Sunday. Some key betting angles were discussed and then four games, including Thursday Night Football between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles and also Sunday football between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Our Wednesday Wagering with Wes Reynolds segment for this week focused on the bowl games and on the NFL. There are a lot of football games this week and it can be tricky to keep up with all of them and to make smart investments. That's where chatting with Wes is important because he'll share some good ways to stay organized at this time of year and some good live betting strategies to

The guys shared four of their five picks for this week, as the Mini Contest gets underway, and also gave additional thoughts on every game during the Rapid Fire Rundown segment.

It's time for our Thursday mega show and we're really fired up about this one. We'll start with Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com for our weekly Powers Picks segment. We've got a bunch of bowl games to talk about, so host Adam Burke picked Brad's brain about those matchups coming up this weekend and then next week before we talk again on Thursday. The guys also looked at the NFL Week 15 card and talked some more about college basketball season preparations. Jay Primetown of MMAOddsbreaker.com joins us for some UFC on Fox 22: VanZant vs. Waterson analysis and free picks. This card in Sacramento also features fighters like Sage Northcutt, Urijah Faber, and Takeya Mizugaki, so it should be a strong segment. Nobody breaks down MMA like Jay Primetown and he shares his top picks, parlay betting options, and prop bets with our listeners for just about every UFC card.

Week 15 of the NFL season is here and that was a major topic of discussion on the Wednesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Wednesdays mean that you're going to hear from host Adam Burke and Cole Ryan with the Gridiron Gambling Report. Week 15 presents some interesting challenges, including our first NFL Saturday Night Football game of the season. The Thursday Night Football game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks certainly has some intrigue with the Jeff Fisher firing and the guys talked about that and more, along with Saturday's game and two NFL Sunday games. We'll also be joined on the broadcast by Wes Reynolds for our Wednesday Wagering segment to chat about a variety of sports. College basketball, college football, and the NFL were all topics of conversation with this high-volume capper that looks for advantages in the deratives market and in a lot of other ways as well.

This was a really special edition of BangTheBook Radio on Tuesday December 13 with our Tuesday Meeting show. Host Adam Burke is always fortunate to chat with a couple of professional handicappers in Bryan Leonard and Sports Cheetah. This week, the Sports Wagering Talk and the Hunting for Winners segment merged into one. Adam was able to chat with both guys at the same time and it was a great opportunity to bounce ideas and concepts off of two intelligent sports bettors in real time. This segment focused on both college football and the NFL. With a handful of bowl games coming up here this week, those were the spotlight games during this conversation. The New Mexico Bowl, the Las Vegas Bowl, the Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl, the New Orleans Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl were all topics of conversation with a variety of different approaches and handicapping techniques discussed throughout the show. The NFL games under the microscope were Los Angeles vs. Seattle, Detroit vs. the New York Giants, and also Cleve
