Summary

Survivor and Pick 'Em pools are two of the easiest ways for NFL fans to get in on the action during a long and unpredictable football season. Whatever the buy-in, pools let fans experience the thrills and chills of weekly betting without an onerous time or money commitment. On today's episode, host Brendan Glasheen welcomes Action Network predictive analyst Billy Ward and Action pool expert Travis Reed to discuss the basic strategies and best practices winning pool players utilize season after season. "You aren't playing the game you think you are" is a common refrain in this annual episode, and it's truer every season. Separating yourself from the most casual participants is the easiest way to survive the furthest into the season and gain equity in a given pool on a weekly basis.
