Peeling back the curtain on a once taboo industry during its most critical juncture, ACTION chronicles the lives of professional gamblers, bookies and oddsmakers throughout the 2018 NFL season, culminating with the biggest gambling day of the year, Super Bowl Sunday. The character-driven narrative delivers intimate access to a diverse cross-section of the sports gaming community and documents the effects of legalization through their prisms. To watch and share the official trailer for ACTION, go to:

An estimated $400-$500 billion is wagered annually on sports gambling in the United States. The central figures introduced in ACTION range from some of the most respected experts to influencers in the industry. Those profiled include professional gambler Bill "Krack" Krackomberger, professional handicapper Kelly Stewart aka "Kelly In Vegas" and polarizing sports betting consultant Dave "Vegas Dave" Oancea. ACTION also features Seattle Seahawks quarterback and Super Bowl Champion Russell Wilson, legendary bookmaker Jimmy Vaccaro, sports broadcasting icon Brent Musburger and comedian Cousin Sal.
