Then it was time to chat college football, as the guys discussed the MAC and the AAC. Bryan has more of a focus on coaching this season, so the guys talked about the coaches in the MAC and some of the new hires for some of the conference’s worst teams. They also looked at the top of the conference with Ohio and Toledo. A quick look at the AAC shined some light on the top teams and some of the new head coaches, with a team that may make us a lot of money this season.

Host Adam Burke was back to kick off a new work week with the July 29 edition of The Bettor’s Box. Usually we start with a Monday Mailbag segment, but with no questions for this week, he went right on into the Beyond the Box Score segment to look at Dodgers vs. Nationals, Yankees vs. Red Sox, Giants vs. Padres, and Brewers vs. Cubs. He touched on some Trade Deadline stuff and then gave an update on batting stats vs. pitch types to find some good information for you to use in your daily handicapping.

Today’s top pick actually preceded the Down the Lines segment because it was relative to some of those stats. A recap of the betting odds from Friday through today gave way to a preview of the week ahead, as we really have some good series on the docket this week. Braves vs. Nationals, Astros vs. Indians, Twins vs. Marlins, Rays vs. Red Sox, and Cubs vs. Cardinals were under the spotlight to wrap up the show.

Host Adam Burke was joined by Christian Pina of the Sports Gambling Podcast to take a detailed look at UFC 240, which is on ESPN+ this week. The pay-per-view portion of the show is highlighted by big favorites, like Max Holloway over Frankie Edgar and Cyborg over Felicia Spencer. How do you approach big favorites in spotlight fights? That was a big talking point for the guys.

A couple of Canadian underdogs round out the main card in Oliver Aubin-Mercier and Marc-Andre Barriault. Are they worth betting? There is a full set of prelim card matches as well and that’s where Christian found most of his favorite picks for this weekend. This was a good show with a lot of good analysis on a card that could turn out to be a dud.

Host Adam Burke was back on the air with a new edition of The Bettor's Box to send us into the weekend with a lot of baseball betting knowledge to consider. On this July 25 edition of the show, Adam went Beyond the Box Score to look at Yankees vs. Twins, A's vs. Astros, Reds vs. Brewers, injuries, and more frustrations to the season. He talked about some regression candidates with runners in scoring position and also looked at some reliever splits for you to consider.

Finally, series previews on Yankees vs. Red Sox, Dodgers vs. Nationals, Astros vs. Cardinals, and Cubs vs. Brewers wrapped up another excellent episode of the best MLB betting podcast in the business.

Host Adam Burke got an advance copy of Ken Barkley’s college football guide and knew that the man known as Locky Lockerson had to come on the show to discuss it. The guys talked about what need this guide fills and what makes it so much different from the other guides that are out there. They talked about approaching championship and Heisman futures and why you may want to narrow your focus more than you think.

They talked about the stats that really matter when evaluating season win totals and when looking at teams coming into the season.

You got a sneak peek at the benefits of this guide and a lot of beneficial college football insight along the way.

Host Adam Burke joined up with regular guest and sharp handicapper Ralph Michaels on the July 23 edition of BangTheBook Radio to discuss some college football season win totals and conference previews. The guys focused specifically on the Pac-12, Big 12, and Mountain West conferences. The Pac-12 looks competitive, but is there an elite team? The Big 12 looks like Oklahoma’s to lose once again – do they have challengers?

Our first Group of Five conference was the Mountain West, which is clearly down from last year. Boise State is a clear favorite, but with a new quarterback. The top contenders have fallen back a few notches. Because of that, Ralph is seeing some crazy upset potential in the conference this season with a couple of long shots to consider from a futures standpoint.

It's a new week and that means that The Bettor's Box is back in all of its glory. Host Adam Burke took a look around the baseball betting world on today's show to give you some picks, tips, and analysis on what to expect this week and beyond. Adam opened with a Monday Mailbag question about bet tracking and then dove right in Beyond the Box Score with thoughts on A's vs. Twins, Cardinals vs. Reds, Nationals vs. Braves, and Brewers vs. Diamondbacks. He cautioned about some small sample sizes in the second half and also looked at the league's top defensive teams.

Host Adam Burke was joined by Christian Pina of the Sports Gambling Podcast to chat about this UFC on ESPN 4 card. The main card has a lot of excitement potential and the potential for a lot of violence. Rafael dos Anjos vs. Leon Edwards is the main event, but the main card features three heavyweight fights, including Greg Hardy vs. Juan Adams, and some of Christian’s top plays.

James Vick vs. Dan Hooker and Andrei Arlovski vs. Ben Rothwell are two of the fights that Christian is following the closest this week. The guys also bounced around the preliminary card looking for betting angles and also some scouting reports on some of the newer fighters that will be in the Octagon.
