I heard that this type of activity is illegal. Should elected officials be advertising this type of activity?

ReplyDeleteNo, NCAA Pools are NOT illegal. As I stated in the post: "Nothing is at stake, except bragging rights....".
I also find your moral relativism interesting. If something is illegal, shouldn't everyone avoid that activity and not just elected officials?
Again, this pool is just for FUN. Don't sign up if you don't want FUN. Otherwise, please do join us.
Doug,
