The Survivor Pool's Quiet Revolution The Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas has become a hub for a rapidly growing phenomenon: professional and amateur football enthusiasts are flocking to Circa Survivor, a high stakes NFL betting contest that combines simplicity with strategy.
At its core, Circa Survivor is a survivor pool format – pick one team to win each week, don't repeat any teams, and if you're still standing after 20 weeks, you'll be eligible for at least $20 million in prize money.
The contest has attracted a diverse range of participants, including celebrities like Greg Maddux and Dana White, professional poker players, and first time entrants with just $1,000 to spare.
