Wagering on organized sports teams or events is illegal except in Nevada and Atlantic City. Whether or not gambling is considered a crime of moral turpitude is a debatable question. However, since most of us in the business owe fiduciary duty to our clients, participation in any illegal gambling (including office pools) could be construed as weakening that standard of care.

How’s that for a buzz-kill?

If only I had known this BEFORE the big game… wouldn’t have picked 5-5 and 2-2…
Where the hell do you find pools where you can pick your own numbers?!?!?!
And yes, strip clubs are still very cool! That’s how I’m putting my kids thru college. “Now on center stage… The Unnnnnnderwriteeeeerrrrrr!”
