Sports Gambling and Your Job
Sports betting is popular and often peaks in the spring, with a flurry of wagers centered on the March Madness National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball tournaments. Some companies view it as a morale booster. Others prohibit it-big time. Play it smart. Know your organization's policy or position on this activity. In any case, avoid allowing betting pools to interfere with your job. If you coordinate a betting pool, you can count on fellow employees wondering why or how you have all that free time. Caution: Sports betting has added to the risk of compulsive
gambling and many experts considered it an entry point for young people into a lifelong gambling addiction.
