The Bettor's Box is back! BangTheBook Radio's MLB Betting Podcast with host Adam Burke fired up a new season on Friday with the first edition for this year. Adam talked about a lot of baseball betting tips and strategies by using sabermetrics and by breaking down some of the stats, trends, and angles that he uses in his own handicapping.

Adam discussed Spring Training stats and which ones matter and which ones don't. He talked about resources that listeners need to use in order to have success and also talked about some line moves from Thursday's card. Two free picks for Friday led into a discussion of his favorite sabermetric stat and then he looked ahead to some key matchups this weekend for bettors to follow along.

The Final Four is just two short days away and we've got two exceptional guests to help us break it all down. Host Adam Burke will chat with Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com about college football, the NIT, the Final Four, and his college basketball season in review. What worked and what didn't for one of the industry's premier handicappers? What will he change for next year?

Similar questions were posed to Ralph Michaels of WagerTalk.com. Ralph gave his thoughts on tonight's NIT title game, as well as the CBI Final, the CIT Finals, and the Final Four. After breaking down those games, Adam and Ralph talked about what worked well for him this season and what didn't work so well in both the NBA and college basketball that he'll look to adjust going forward.

We're pushing through the middle of the week as we are one day away from the start of baseball season and a few days away from the Final Four. One guest will today us today as we chat with Wes Reynolds. We'll chat with Wes about the end of college basketball season. The Final Four and the National Championship, as well as what he'll look to incorporate differently next year and what worked well for him that he'll keep doing. The guys also hit the Houston Open and also talked about The Masters, since we'll be going to our twice-a-week MLB betting podcast exclusively next week.

After Wes's segment, host Adam Burke will talk about his process for betting baseball. The season starts tomorrow and we'll have overnight lines to consider later today. Adam will discuss what he looks for in a particular matchup and how he comes to a decision with his bets.

Three guests joined us today on BangTheBook Radio, as we did a double show to make up for not having one on Monday. Host Adam Burke started by talking college basketball and NHL with Brian Blessing of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline. With all of our guests, Adam talked with them about what worked and what didn't from a college basketball betting standpoint, so that was a conversation with Brian, along with some NHL.

Tony George of Doc's Sports was next up, as the guys chatted about some NIT, CBI, and CIT before looking at the Final Four matchups. They talked about what worked for Tony and what didn't during both the college basketball and NBA seasons.

Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com joined us to talk Final Four, March Madness, and more. The guys had a long talk about how the futures played out that they have been discussing and also about the Final Four games. They answered a listener question about futures and looked ahead to National Championship matchups. They also hit on what worked and didn't work for Kyle during the college basketball season.

We wrapped up this week on BangTheBook Radio with a couple of markets that we haven't talked a lot about recently. With everybody immersed in March Madness, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that Opening Day is less than a week away and that the NBA is still going on. Host Adam Burke talked baseball with Bryan Leonard from WagerTalk.com, as the guys discussed the importance of doing research and why fantasy baseball can be a big help. They talked about some season win total positions as well.

Philip Rossman-Reich from Orlando Magic Daily joined us to chat some NBA. The guys focused on tanking teams to talk about which teams are tanking and which teams are simply bad. They also discussed some good betting angles for listeners based on those teams. The Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, and Cleveland Cavs are the front-runners in the Eastern Conference, but they'll have to beat other opponents before facing each other. Who do these teams don't want to see come playoff time?

We hit all eight Sweet 16 games on this Thursday edition of BangTheBook Radio and projected ahead to the Elite Eight with our two guests. Host Adam Burke was joined first by Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com. The guys talked a bit about college football at the top of the show and then chatted about the right side of the bracket. The guys hit Villanova vs. West Virginia, Purdue vs. Texas Tech, Kansas vs. Clemson, and Syracuse vs. Duke. They also projected out Elite Eight lines for the potential matchups on Sunday.

Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com joined us for the second half of the show, as the guys broke down the left side of the bracket. Kansas State vs. Kentucky, Loyola-Chicago vs. Nevada, Florida State vs. Gonzaga, and Michigan vs. Texas A&M were the matchups in the spotlight there and the guys also looked ahead to the Elite Eight round on Saturday with projected lines and betting opinions. Adam and Ralph also hit the CBI, CIT, and NIT to look at some betting tips there.

More technical difficulties from BlogTalkRadio came into play on Wednesday, so we had a bit of a shortened show, but still lots of great information. Host Adam Burke was joined by professional bettor Wes Reynolds for a breakdown of the left side of the bracket for the Sweet 16 and two golf events, with one going on right now and one starting up tomorrow. The guys talked about Kansas State vs. Kentucky, Loyola-Chicago vs. Nevada, Florida State vs. Gonzaga, and Michigan vs. Texas A&M on the college basketball side and also explored a few futures.

The WGC-Dell Match Play has already started and the Corales Championship starts tomorrow, so the guys had a lot of golf things to discuss. They talked about different betting strategies to the Match Play event and also looked at Tony Romo and some props about his performance for the event coming up in Punta Cana.

A new edition of BangTheBook Radio came your way on Tuesday, as host Adam Burke and his two guests covered a variety of sports betting markets. Brian Blessing of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline was the first to join us, as he and Adam talked NHL, with a focus on eliminated teams and the Central Division. Betting tips that included a pick from Brian tonight were a good way to start us off.

Between guests, Adam took some time to chat about Major League Baseball, with some injury updates that are of note and also some minor league transactions that stand out. Adam talked about those key injuries and what they mean for season win total bets and the teams that are afflicted by the bad news.

Finally, Tony George of Doc's Sports joined us to chat the right side of the bracket for the Sweet 16 and a little NBA at the end. The guys discussed Villanova vs. WVU, Purdue vs. Texas Tech, Kansas vs. Clemson, and Syracuse vs. Duke. They also hit on the NBA Western Conference, with a focus on the tough spot for the New Orleans Pelicans.

What a wild and crazy weekend in March Madness! We certainly have a lot to talk about on the March 19 edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke will start it off with your listener questions during the Monday Mailbag segment. Plenty of questions came flooding in about how to hedge the upcoming NCAA Tournament games in the Sweet 16 and about bankroll management in terms of bet sizes.

Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com joined us for this week's Handicapping the Hardwood segment to talk all things college basketball. They recapped an insane weekend in March Madness and looked ahead to the Sweet 16 round of the tournament. They also talked about the NIT, CBI, and CIT, as you want to make sure that you don't forget about those betting opportunities.

The first full day of March Madness action was certainly exciting, so let’s do it all again today. Host Adam Burke recorded a short 20-minute morning update for those getting set to enjoy the chaos, as he looked at Friday’s card, talked about some of yesterday’s angles and tips, and looked ahead to the first Round of 32 matchups.

Adam looked at the card to check out some of the line movements and talk about what we’ve seen thus far. Using the market as a guide can be such a big help, as we noticed yesterday. We also saw several games fall in between numbers or right near the total. Adam had a few thoughts on that, along with some live betting and derivative tips that he picked up on and will look to carry over into today. He also previewed some of the second round matchups coming up on Saturday.
