I cannot figure out the logic of this.

So I just found out that 10 of my warehouse workers do something very strange with their money. Every paycheck they all put $100 into a pool and 1 of them gets the $1000 every time. This repeats every pay day and they rotate so the next person gets the $1000. They are convinced that they are gaming the system by doing this.

And that's why they are warehouse workers...

Either they don't know what they are doing and just like the psychological feeling of getting $1,000 in hand every tenth pay period or they are performing the most complicated hedge scheme in history and will retire very shortly.... I'd put my money on the former.

You can't use logic when there is none involved

Maybe that's just the easiest way for them to save?

Basically like fantasy football except it takes less time.
Not uncommon among Hispanics, btw.

You could look at it as kind of a payroll deduction plan. They'll blow that $100 weekly on insconsequential bullshite, or they can net $900 every ten weeks and have a hellacious blowout.
Also, the guy who wins the first time is always ahead. The worst he can do is break even. When he quits or the game ends, he'll be anywhere from $0 to $900 up, depending on where he is in the cycle. Everybody else is always playing catch up.

With their logic, I'd have to assume that their retirement plan is the lottery?

Good luck when the first guy bails out after his payday...

My wife's family is from the Caribbean and this is very common but with a larger amount of money and less people. It's called Sou-Sou
