Washington state says those office betting pools on the NCAA basketball tournament are illegal. Gambling Commission spokeswoman Amy Hunter says the only legal pools are the grids used in football. She told The Olympian that when the Gambling Commission gets complaints about NCAA pools it issues warnings. The paper says betting in an office betting pool can be a misdemeanor or felony depending on the size of the pool. State workers sign an ethics agreement the specifically bans taking part in betting pools. -The Associated Press.
