Are you participating in an office pool this year? What is your office's stance on having these pools? How much do you expect to get done this week?
Office Pools
- Thread starter EWISUCyFan
- Start date
Our office has a STRICT no gambling/betting/bracket policy, however there is an underground scene. I don't see work slowing down much though as out of the building of around 500 people, I would say there are around 30 guys, and only about 10 of which care about sports.
we sometimes do pools when they are Packer games or baby birthdate ones. I don't think they do a basketball one though. Hopefully I get a lot done this week........as much as I want to pay attention to the games, I have a ******** of work to get done by my deadline.
I tried starting a pool with my friends but they are still butthurt about last year when I won it before the Elite Eight started.
And I don't think the office I work in on Campus does one.

I won one of my pools last year and still have received none of the winnings, although the commish collected from everyone at the beginning. Butthurt yes.
I have run a pool for the last eight or nine years, starting at my previous job. I have people I currently work with, formerly worked with, and friends and family of friends and family. Last year, I think I had about 45 entries (at a buck apiece, winner take all). I've never encountered a problem with having one at work, but I'm also fairly discrete about running it as well, aside from the people who I know will want to play it every season. They're too fun not to do!
My bosses are addicted to sports betting. They always set up pools, survivors, and a bunch random bets. And they always make the buy in a lot of money, which kind of sucks, except when you win. I won $1500 on super bowl squares.
