And the Winner Is...

I have noticed something recently that I never realized before. I have in the past found that in some work places, the employees will bet on certain sports events or other such things. However since I have joined the ranks of the cube workers, it has become apparent that this is a massive understatement. The amount of betting, pools, and other such vices in the office are staggering. There is a pool or wager on almost every event that Yahoo or Google can display. Since I have not been a big gambler in the past it amazes me to the amount of people involved. I am curious to know what everyone else thinks about this. Is there a casino where you work? If so are you an active participant?
