Bookie style office pool

[jjaycuny]

I am starting an office pool for NFL season (if it even happens) where i work, Just wanted some feedback on it or any suggestions. Each participant can wager up to $1,000 a week in fake money, betting the spread, moneyline, over/under or up to a 10 team parlay. Whoever has the most "money" at the end of the season wins the pot. I was planning on using either wagerstation.com's software or gamedaypayoff.com's software to track the bets.

i use the standard, boring, pick-em style.

will look in and share if i find anything good.

I would suggest not giving them 1,000 a week. Because if someone lost a few weeks in a row they'd be resorting to hitting a big parlay and if they did they'd jump back into first place.

Id give a bankroll for the year. Say 10,000. maximum you can bet a week is 2500. if you loose your roll your eliminated.

Unless your office is full of degerates you are going to spend so much time explaining speads, parlays, over/unders.

I tried years ago to spice it up and it was horrible, end up doing just do a straight pick em.

Easy way to lose your job Son, can be misinterpreted

Be careful

I can see this going very poorly and some people there are going to think you have a gambling problem

Full of degenerates would be an under statement. No need to explain anything.

That's actually part of the fun of it, someone can be down then come back on some crazy parlay

I would say good luck, watch out on management as sometimes they tend to look down on this.

Appreciate the concerns, However all but 4 of the people in this pool work in law enforcement. This pool is 100% legal. Even money is being wagered with no 3rd party making money.
