1. Keep the money and run?

2. Buy breakfast/lunch for the people you work with (your whole building)?

We have a superbowl pool where I work and it has come to be tradition that people buy breakfast/lunch for the entire building with your winnings.

If I'm going to do a pool, I'm sorry but I want to WIN and keep the cash! I did a pool somewhere else this year.

Re: If you won your superbowl pool at work would you...

I'm in a regular football pool through work. When I win that I just give the guy who runs it a percentage - like 10%.

If it's an office superbowl pool...eh...personally I'd prefer to take the money and run like you said (still giving a cut to the person who ran it), but if it's a tradition through the office to buy breakfast...just do it. You'd probably NEVER hear the end of it if you didn't.

My husband won $2000 in his football pool. He gave the person who organizes it $200.

When I use to work in an office I won 2 years in a row.... I got breakfast bagels , coffee etc. , all the other girls would laugh at me and say why did you do that we would never do anything like that..They were so CHEAP!
