Developing Amazon Alexa skill and I am having trouble with slot values (acronyms) being read as words

I am building a TV guide as an Amazon Alexa skill and have all of the necessary parts working (I.E. Lambda, DynamoDB, and Alexa Skill console) where the majority of channels will be recognized by voice, found in my database, and returned.

The reason for this question is I want Alexa to take my voice input of "BET", but every time I spell out BET, she doesn't recognize the slot. If I say "bet" she will recognize the slot, uppercase the slot (part of my lambda function), match to word in my database, and return the item. I would prefer to spell out the word rather than just say "bet".

How do I ensure that when I spell out "BET" that Alexa will understand "BET" and not "bet"?
