The Action Network Podcast

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, Action Network host Gilles Gallant welcomes back PoolGenius expert Jason Lisk, as the two discuss the basic strategies and best practices winning pool players utilize season after season. "You aren't playing the game you thing your 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 any given pool on a weekly basis. So if you're interested in how to increase your leverage on your pool opponents, this is the episode for you!  And be sure to sign up with our partners at PoolGenius!
