March Madness is here! Host Adam Burke didn’t want to leave BangTheBook Radio listeners empty-handed for this first day of the first round, so he recorded about a 15-minute pep talk for our listeners with some important betting concepts to keep in mind throughout the day.

With the odds screen lighting up like a Christmas tree, it is another reminder that the most wonderful time of the sports year is here. Adam talked about what bettors should be doing in terms of looking at the board to ascertain who is betting what and then figure out why they are doing it. That is an important key today and tomorrow, when public investment certainly carries more weight in the betting markets. It is also important, as always, to keep live betting and derivative betting in mind. Adam talked about a few of the things to look for over the course of a game to grab some profitable opportunities.

We've got one more full-length show this week to get you ready for March Madness. Two guests will join host Adam Burke, as Wes Reynolds and Ralph Michaels share their expertise and insights with our excellent listeners. Adam and Wes will start with a few minutes on the Arnold Palmer Invitational and then talk about the NIT, as the rule changes have certainly done some interesting things to those games. With Wes, the guys will focus on the Midwest Rergion and the West Region for the NCAA Tournament.

Ralph Michaels of WagerTalk.com is next, as the guys will examine what we saw last night in the NIT and then also take a look at the CBI and the CIT. As far as the NCAA Tournament goes, Adam and Ralph will chat about the South Region and the East Region. Ralph will share some best bets and betting tips for what promises to be an outstanding weekend of basketball.

Three guests joined us on the Tuesday edition of BangTheBook Radio. Host Adam Burke opened up the show with a few notes on the recent MLB signings of Jake Arrieta and Neil Walker and what they mean from a futures standpoint while waiting for today's first guest, Brian Blessing, to join the show. Once Brian did, it was almost all college basketball the rest of the way.

Adam and Brian discussed the South Region, as well as the play-in game tonight for St. Bonaventure against UCLA. Brian talked about some good betting angles to consider and also some his free picks, including an over that he really likes.

Tony George of Doc's Sports was on the program with a lot of thoughts about the NIT, March Madness, and some really good betting angles for the East Region.

Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com joined us for a long talk about the NIT, CBI, and CIT before taking a look at the Midwest and West Regions for the Big Dance. There are a lot of premier betting opportunities this month and we covered a lot of them on today's show.

March Madness Week is here!! It also happens to be the week that the other postseason tournaments start as well and our very smart listeners are all over that. Host Adam Burke will open up the week with the Monday Mailbag segment, which features tons of listener questions about the NIT, hedging March Madness futures, the possibility of upsets, and a little bit on baseball betting systems and the AL Central race.

Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com joined us to chat all things college basketball on today's Handicapping the Hardwood segment. A lot of the futures questions and the NIT rules questions were posed to Kyle as well. Then the guys got into a heavy March Madness discussion about underseeded teams, overseeded teams, venues for totals, home court advantages, tough draws, matchups, totals betting angles, ATS betting angles, and so much more.

A pick on yesterday’s show launched Adam into a big discussion about bankroll management and the industry as a whole. The Charlotte Hornets lost to the Brooklyn Nets in a game that was mentioned on the show as a good situational spot for the favorites. Sometimes it is good to reinforce important betting concepts in light of a bad outcome and Adam took the time to do that on today’s show.

He also talked about some college basketball betting angles for conference tournaments and why it’s important to file things away for future postseason events. A big card comes your way tonight in the NBA with some interesting situational spots, especially with the Cleveland Cavs, who are spending four days in Los Angeles at the tail end of this week.

As it turns out, host Adam Burke just can’t stay away from the microphone and from giving the listeners what they want. With daytime conference tournament action and four shows in three days, we were going to take a little breather today, but Adam decided that he would have none of it. Your favorite host chatted some college basketball, NBA, NHL, and MLB on today’s solo show.

Adam talked about four different sports betting markets here on today’s show, beginning with college basketball. He picked up on some observations from the conference tournaments and also talked about some of the things that we previously discussed with our listeners. Conference USA did play well for under bettors and derivative betting remains the way to go, with some interesting stats on second-half totals. For the NBA and NHL, he talked about some situational betting angles and also some important notes on how to read context clues in the betting market. With some MLB at the top and bottom of the show, listeners got a full-range of thoughts and ideas to consider.

After releasing the first part of our March 7 show with Kyle Hunter late last night, we'll fire up a regular live recording of BangTheBook Radio to get ready for the remaining conference tournaments. Host Adam Burke will be joined by Wes Reynolds for some insight on the Mountain West and Pac-12 Conference Tournaments, as well as a little bit on the Valspar Championship on the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook as we check in on the PGA Tour.

Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com joins us for a look at four conference tournaments during our final segment for this week. The guys will hit the Big West, SEC, A-10, and Ivy League Conference Tournaments, with some starting here tonight. Ralph is having a tremendous college basketball season, so you definitely want to hear what he has to say about these teams.

Crisp and clean is a good way to describe this special edition of Handicapping the Hardwood. Not just because Adam was in studio, so we’ve got HD audio for you, but also because the guys were on point and in the zone with terrific conference tournament betting tips, free picks, and analysis. Kyle Hunter of HunterSportsPicks.com has been with us for a long time breaking down conference tourneys and the guys hit all 32 again this year.

The nine in question on this episode were the AAC, Southland, WAC, Big East, Big 12, Big West, Atlantic 10, Ivy, and SEC. We’ve got some tournaments at new venues, which could have a major impact on totals, and we have a lot of bubble teams spread across these leagues. The guys talked about futures prices that make sense, hedging possibilities, money line rollovers, coaching angles, and so much more. You’re not going to find many shows that cover all 32 conferences and Adam and Kyle have done it over four segments like it was nothing.

We'll be cramming basically five days worth of shows into four blocks of radio this week, which means that we have a change for today's show. Host Adam Burke will start things out with Brian Blessing, the host of Sportsbook Radio and Vegas Hockey Hotline, for some discussion about hockey, but the guys will also talk college basketball. They'll talk about betting angles following overtime games, as we had four in the NHL on Monday and a team in action that has played five straight. On the college hoops side, they'll discuss the MAC and Atlantic 10 conference tournaments.

Tony George of Doc's Sports joins us next, as the guys take an in-depth look at the Big 12 Conference Tournament, which begins tomorrow. The guys will talk about the betting angles, the matchups, and the draws for these respective schools. Tony will also spend some time with us on the AAC Tournament, as team he knows well from the Missouri Valley in Wichita State tries to take down the title.

Finally, we'll chat with Brad Powers of BradPowersSports.com about the Pac-12, ACC, and SEC Conference Tournaments. These are three interesting leagues with a lot of different betting considerations. Brad will tell us about the betting angles he's looking to play and some of the matchups that he is looking to exploit this week with these deep fields.

It will be an extremely busy week on BangTheBook Radio as we try to bring our loyal listeners comprehensive coverage of all of the conference tournaments that will be happening this week. Before we do that, we'll start with host Adam Burke and this week's Monday Mailbag segment, as a lot of great listener questions have come pouring in on a variety of different topics, ranging from Spring Training betting to factors to look for when betting NCAA Tournament games and futures.

With picks, analysis, and betting tips for the MEAC, MAC, Big Sky, ACC, SWAC, Sun Belt, Mountain West, Pac-12, and Conference USA, the guys will hit nine of the 17 conference tournaments that will be played this week as teams try to secure their spots in March Madness
