I'd run it by your boss to make sure he/she is fine with it. Provided that you aren't in an organization that is particularly sensitive to betting (ie. college athletics department, sports team/league, etc.) it shouldn't be a problem.
The chance of you getting arrested for it is roughly 0. I'd be more concerned with the company getting angry.

If she did no longer have the money up, she shouldn't obtain the payout. it is not possible to assert she could have paid after the actuality for the sq., yet whilst it is your cash that became on the line, it is your winnings. think approximately if she is your pal and additionally you think of she actually could have paid you, it may be properly worth disposing of what you place into her sq. and pay her the winnings. in case you do no longer understand her that properly, you would be doing something that i could purely do for a good pal I have confidence via paying her.

Actually, YES, in many states, it's illegal. But the chances of anyone prosecuting you for it (or caring) are slim to none.
There are exceptions, though. You should check your local laws. In Montana, for example, it's legal if no more than $5 is be wagered for a chance on a sports pool and the prize doesn't exceed $500.
