For a perfect example of how the law does not always reflect the will of the people, we need look no further than March Madness and the office pool you are probably a part of right now. Don't worry, this does not mean you are going to be in trouble, or that you shouldn't post on social media about how you totally knew that 12-seed would beat that 5-seed. But, if you run or are part of an office pool, the below article may shed some light on where those pools sit from a legal standpoint. Remember - You aren't likely to get in any sort of trouble for hosting or participating in a bracket pool, but it certainly doesn't hurt to be informed.
