office pool
Coworkers bet together
An office pool is a group betting arrangement among coworkers, typically on sporting events or other outcomes with uncertain results.
Participants each contribute money and make predictions; the winner or winners take the pot.
The Super Bowl office pool and March Madness bracket pool are workplace fixtures: I won $200 in the office pool.
The term also refers to shared workplace resources like a typing pool or motor pool.
