you first.
One friend of mine intern on the trading floor and they placed bets to see who would start taking coke for the job first.
I have some good stories but rather not tell
Betting on who could hit the exit sign first with paper airplanes Betting on if a senior trader's daughter has lost her virginity and having an independent source verify it
I've heard stories of traders looking out the window and betting how long until someone on a skateboard comes by, someone in a sombrero, etc.
Seems like betting for betting's sake to me.

Having the entire trading floor clap for you as you leave after being fired.
between 2000 and 2004 the CME and CBOT floors were absolute shitshows. My former boss told me back then he would routinely have six-figure days, and numerous other traders were making huge fortunes. They would hire smoking hot chicks to work as clerks; i always enjoyed seeing attractive blondes walk around on the floor wearing tight pants and CME clerk jackets. After the market close, the traders would do cocaine, play strip poker with their clerks, and sexual relations were frequent. Sadly, those glory days of the floor are now gone.
