A couple of years ago the boss came in my office when Pinny was posting the NCAA basketball games for a Saturday card. I did not even try to hide it. I was carrying on a conversation while simultaneously clicking in bets. He never said a thing about it. Hard to believe that with 20+ years of sports gambling in no employer has ever said anything to me about it.
Has anyone ever got in trouble at their job for gambling?

I work with a bunch a women so they don't know the difference however the few men I have worked with have questioned me when talking about games and I say something like it will be a low scoring game and Boston will win by ten. A gambler can spot a gambler and I do hide it.Comment -

#19Just about everything good is filtered out of the internet at work. I use my laptop for this very post and to surf the underbelly of the internet for all of my flagitious needs. If the company doesn't like it, they can find someone else to run the department, cause I can freelance this stuff also if I need to.Comment -
