Everyone into the "Pool"

I have always had occasional opportunities to get in on some football pool or bet basketball brackets or get some other sports action. It has always been so seldom I go for it just because its sort of a novelty. Enter my current job site where one of the engineers is taking action every week on every sporting event you can imagine. Last week he covered NFL, College Football, Tennis, Nascar, Baseball, Golf, not to mention something called the survivor pool and some side betting on what takers would perform worst in the NFL pool. I'm waiting for a game of alley craps to breakout at lunch. I am not much of a gambler but I enjoy taking a chance on the NFL pool. The pots are sizable and there is always some smacktalk on the job regarding the winners and losers. Some of the schemes to make a sport bettable for a group are interesting and unusual. How do you turn a golf tournament into an opportunity for 30 guys to bet collectively against each other, its involved and takes some work to organize and analyze the results while keeping it fare. I have to hand it to the guy he is on top of it all the way. I just hope 1 week he will have to hand it to me.
