Finale of Showtime's ACTION Airs This Sunday  Image

SHOWTIME'S new documentary series ACTION follows the biggest gambling day of the year - SUPER BOWL LIII - in its finale on Sunday, April 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Professional gamblers, handicappers, polarizing consultants and more place wagers on the big championship game. Major sports leagues begin to embrace the once taboo gambling industry as legalization expands, "prop bets" become popular, and a final look at the social and economic cost/benefit of sports gambling.
