Get Doc's Sports Super Bowl Squares

In most Super Bowl squares, a winner will be determined at the end of the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, plus the final game score. The winner is decided by looking at the last number in each teams' score and then matching those digits on the grid to see where the squares intersect.

Because Super Bowl squares pools involve randomly assigned numbers rather than numbers chosen by the contest entrants, these pools are certainly games of chance. Thus, because a Super Bowl squares pool includes an entry fee and a prize, as a technical matter it is probably illegal.

While the 0-0 square is the best to have early on, the chances of winning in a particular slot change throughout the game. 19.1% of first quarters end with the 0-0 box winning, 20.9% end wither 7-0 or 0-7, and 16.4% end 3-0 or 0-3. If you have those values, your chances get worse every single quarter.

Make a copy of the grid for each player with the squares that they're selling highlighted. As they sell, they'll fill in the initials of each buyer on the square(s) that they purchased. (We charged $10 per square. But you can go up or down on the price, depending on what team members agree on.)

Large Football Squares As you can see there are 13 different combinations that have never appeared in a Super Bowl and the number combination of 0 and 7 is the most popular, appearing 20 times.

The most common way to structure the payout is one winner for each quarter (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and then a 4th winner for the final square. The payouts can either be equal, or increase in amount for each quarter, with the final score of the game winning the most. Let's say you collect $10 off per square.

The setup for Super Bowl squares is simple. Create four 10-by-10 boards (one for each quarter), with zero-to-10 on each axis. The Patriots will take one axis, placing the Rams on the other. Each square should be priced equally let's say $1 per square.

The game starts with a 10-by-10 grid, or 100 individual boxes each of which is assigned a universal price tag, like $1 per square. Before the Super Bowl kicks off, participants purchase individual boxes generally as many as they wish until all 100 of them are accounted for.
