How to bet March Madness & Survivor Pool Tips!

·31 min·2 clips

Fezzik says to burn five seeds in round one, use threes and fours next, then work backwards from your final two teams.

1. Even Money: NFL Betting Podcast covers how to bet March Madness and play the SplashSports survivor contest, a $35,000 guaranteed, $50-entry pool. 2. Hosts Ross Tucker and Steve Fezzik lead the episode, with Tucker introducing Fezzik as the only two-time winner of the Las Vegas Super Contest. 3. The central thesis is that survivor and bracket success depends on planning around tournament structure and on fading public consensus, with Fezzik admitting he is a 'neophyte' at March Madness survivor. 4. Fezzik advises burning five seeds in round one and three or four seeds on the weekend, then working backward to reserve the final two teams for the Final Four, with days 7 and 8 requiring two correct picks. 5. On multiple entries, he says the first entry carries the best ROI, but a guaranteed prize with an overlay could make a second entry worth about a 45% ROI against a 50% first entry. 6. For brackets, he says he would take every favorite in a head-to-head with Tucker, but in big national pools he would pick one 'crazy' result like a six seed in the Final Four and stay chalky elsewhere. 7. He cites the Thanksgiving-weekend Eagles-Bears survivor game as an example of taking the underdog when more than half of a pool is on the favorite. 8. Fezzik says NIL has reduced Cinderella upsets, describing a salary-cap league where one team pays $20 million and another $500,000, and recommends selective first-half unders because teams are tight. 9. He says the market forgets each year that NIT bubble teams like Dayton and Auburn play loose in early rounds, which he says pushes those games over, and he rates JJ McCarthy at minus 2.75 versus Kyler Murray at minus 0.3, worth about a win for the Vikings. 10. Sports bettors and survivor pool players preparing for March Madness will get the most from this.
