It's a new week on BangTheBook Radio and a very big week at that. We're only doing three shows this week, but all will be extended as we try to cover as much as we can regarding conference tournaments and the other spots. We started off today with the Monday Mailbag, as host Adam Burke answered listener questions about college basketball, MLB, and the industry as a whole.

Kyle Hunter from HunterSportsPicks.com joined us for the first of two Handicapping the Hardwood segments this week. The guys hit the MAC, MEAC, Sun Belt, SWAC, ACC, P12, A10, Big East, Big 12 conference tournaments on today's show, which leaves us 10 of them to discuss for Wednesday's show. The guys looked at futures bets, tournament betting trends, totals angles, and a whole lot more for these nine conference tournaments.

Three segments finished out our week on BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke started with an interview with Ian Epstein from PropSwap, a marketplace for buying and selling futures bets and prop bets. The guys talked about how it works, what the benefits are for the buyer and the seller, and also talked about the 12 states in which it is legal to buy tickets.

Christian Pina from the Sports Gambling Podcast is also our UFC writer at BangTheBook.com and he shared his thoughts for the UFC on ESPN+ 4 card in Wichita with a main event of Derrick Lewis vs. Junior dos Santos. The guys also discussed the other fights on the Fight Night 146 card to get Christian's top picks and predictions.

Finally, Adam wrapped up the show by talking about the AL Central for the 2019 MLB season. There are some interesting futures betting opportunities in the very top-heavy American League Central this season, where the Indians look to be challenged only by the Twins while the Tigers, Royals, and White Sox fight for scraps.

Two professional handicappers joined us for this Thursday edition of BangTheBook Radio, as host Adam Burke started off the program with Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com. The guys talked about college football spring games and spring practices and Brad used the example of Arizona State's spring game to illustrate how he uses those in his preseason plans. Then the guys took a look at the Duke Blue Devils and Zion Williamson and what the team's chances are without him. The guys also talked about the bubble and pressure on teams in one-bid leagues. They also took a quick look at the West Coast Conference.

Tony George from Doc's Sports also joined us today. The guys scouted the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament, which begins tonight, and some general conference tournament betting tips, angles, and strategies. The guys also elaborated on the NBA betting market by looking at ways to combine the statistics with the situational betting angles that Tony has used to his advantage all season long.

We wrapped up our conference tournament previews for this week by hitting on five more and also talked some PGA Tour golf on today's edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke was joined by professional handicapper Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com and BangTheBook.com to chat about the MAAC, SoCon, America East, Colonial, and Summit League Conference Tournaments, as the guys completed their breakdowns, picks, and analyses of all 13 conference tournaments this week. They touched on venue-specific betting angles and betting options for the winners, including money line rollovers.

Wes Reynolds, @WesReynolds1 on Twitter, joined us for our second segment to chat some general conference tournament betting strategies and the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill this week. The guys talked about how conference tournaments set up well for derivative betting and then looked at some picks to win this week's very-loaded golf tournament.

We talked a ton of college basketball on the Tuesday March 5 edition of BangTheBook Radio. In fact, the whole show was dedicated to college hoops. Host Adam Burke started it off with professional handicapper Ralph Michaels of WagerTalk.com to look at the end of the regular season in the major conferences and also to discuss some general conference tournament betting strategies. The guys also looked at Ralph's top situational and technical plays of the week in college hoops.

Kyle Hunter joined us for the first of two Handicapping the Hardwood segments this week to talk about seven conference tournaments. The guys tackled the Patriot, Big South, and Horizon, as those all start today, and also hit the NEC, OVC, Missouri Valley, and the West Coast Conference. We'll also hear from Kyle tomorrow to tackle five more conference tournaments and you can always read his daily work at BangTheBook.com and see his work at his website HunterSportsPicks.com.

We started a new week on BangTheBook Radio, but may have thrown our listeners for a loop in the process. With a shortage of conference tournament odds, we pushed Kyle Hunter back to Tuesday for the first Handicapping the Hardwood segment this week, so you'll hear from him on Tuesday and Wednesday. Instead, host Adam Burke answered your listener questions during the Monday Mailbag segment to start us off. Topics ranged from how he got his start to futures value for the NCAA Tournament to baseball betting tips for regression candidates. Adam also hit on a listener question about mid-range underdogs.

Brian Blessing joined us in place of Kyle Hunter today. The guys talked about the post-Trade Deadline NHL and tonight's card. They also talked conference tournament betting strategies, the new NASCAR rules package and how it will affect bettors, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, this week's PGA Tour event. These Betting the Board segments really are a grab bag of info, which is why we're lucky to have a guy like Brian.

We wrapped up a full week on BangTheBook Radio in style with two very different segments. Host Adam Burke was joined by Christian Pina, our weekly UFC contributor, for a detailed look at UFC 235, as Jon Jones battles Anthony Smith for the light heavyweight title and Tyron Woodley and Kamaru Usman also fight for a championship. The guys looked at most of the 12-fight card to isolate Christian's favorite picks and also talk about some important betting angles, especially in the Robbie Lawler vs. Ben Askren fight.

Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com and BangTheBook.com joined us for the second Handicapping the Hardwood segment this week. The guys discussed the MEAC to finish our conference breakdowns. They also talked about the Pac-12 as a one-bid league, discussed some general conference tournament betting strategies, hit some fade/follow teams, and then previewed this weekend's action, including the rematch between Kentucky and Tennessee and a big game between Nevada and Utah State.

A new edition of BangTheBook Radio came your way on Thursday with two professional handicappers sharing their expertise on the airwaves. Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com joined us first to chat about a little bit of college football, as Heisman odds hit the board this week in Las Vegas. Then the guys transitioned into some listener questions. They talked about bankroll management across multiple sports and the concept of getting value. Finally, with a lot of them coming up this weekend and next, the guys hit Senior Day handicapping in college basketball.

Tony George from Doc's Sports was our second guest. He was asked the same listener questions. Then the guys talked about handicapping college basketball over the last couple weeks of the regular season, focusing specifically on small conferences, which will finish up this weekend. Finally, the guys talked about the NBA and whether or not it has become something of a forgotten market with so many people invested in college basketball as the calendar approaches.

We pushed our way through the work week here on BangTheBook Radio with our Hump Day edition of the show. Listeners have been requesting more baseball coverage, so host Adam Burke talked about the American League East Division in today's first segment. Adam gave his thoughts on the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, and Toronto Blue Jays as we start to look ahead to the MLB season on the broadcasts. As time permits, Adam will cover the other five divisions as well. He talked about some betting angles and some pitchers to watch from a fade or follow standpoint.

Wes Reynolds joined us for the second half of today's show, as the guys discussed some of the Monday Mailbag questions, including Wes's thoughts on bankroll management and the concept of value in sports betting. The guys also talked about late-season college basketball betting as conference tournaments are on the horizon. Finally, the guys handicapped this week's Honda Classic at PGA National.
