Summary

This week millions of American will fill out their annual March Madness brackets, with many competing in office pools of widely differing scales. For all those entering bracket-related contests or popular Survivor pools, we've got you covered, regardless of experience level. Action Network expert Michael Calabrese welcomes back friend of the podcast Jason Lisk from PoolGenius.com, as they help outline the best strategies to employ across pools of all shapes and sizes. They discuss how a mentality of "If you're not first, you're last" can work to your advantage, as well as fixating on schedules and a working-backwards approach to brackets.
