superbowl square
 

somebody man up and set up a talkingpoker.com superbowl square. I'd be good for a couple of squares at least. Somewhere in the range of $5-20 a square, whatever the highest denomination is that you think we'd get all 100 squares sold.

I'd do it, but I suck.

I also suck.

I've got a $200 square in another pool.

What is a square?:o

You draw a 10 x 10 grid. You write, NE on the top (for example) and NYG down the side. Everybody puts up $x per square for the right to claim that square in the grid (100 total), when they're all claimed you randomly assign numbers 0-9 to each row and each column.

Each grid spot then represents a number for each team. Say NE 5, NYG 2.

At the end of each quarter, if your numbers match the team's score in the 1's place (Say NE 15 NYG 12) you win the portion of the prize pool for that quarter.

Depending on who runs the pool, each qurter may be worth an equal amount, or there may be increasing prize value as the game goes on.

Now the obvious question. How is it possible you've never seen this before? Its been pretty damn standard in every bar, workplace, home party, etc. for at least 20-30 years. :confused:

Id be willing to set this up. Give me till later tonite to come up with the logistics (aka steal everything from the 2p2 pools ideas).

Im in 3 SuperBowl pools riight now..make one up and I will buy a few squares! :)

K I think ten bucks a square is a good middle ground and will sell the most squares. 100 x 10 = 1k prizepool. well do 200 for end of 1st and 3rd quarters and 300 for half and end of the game.

ship the money to mayhem45 (windsor) on stars. I will buy whatever squares are left over as well as reserve 10 for myself.

good work. I just shipped $50 for 5 squares on Stars. I will split whatever is left over with you 50/50, as long as you don't mind me sending you money on fulltilt, as now I got nothing on stars.

k that makes 17 squares sold so far. 83 left people!

k new guy has 5 as well. 78 left.

5 for studiopet. 73 left. hurry people.

I will buy a square (maybe another if you have trouble moving them). I will send you the $10 tonight if i log on my home laptop (i am at work now).

Got my 5

BTW

10 for TP. Shipping $100 to "Windsor" now. :rolleyes:

You manned up and agreed to run this, so we play by your rules... but may I suggest splitting the money with more on the Final score somehow? Like maybe $200, $250, $200, $350. Meh, whatever. Not like I'll win a number anyway.

BTW, how are you going to assign the names and the numbers? I've never done a square pool "virtually" before.

If anyone wants to see some CRAZY square rules, how about these from the $200 ($20,000) one I'm in:

The "opposite" rule is pretty cool (and simple) if you want to give a few more prizes.

Jesus Christ, id rather not spend all nite sunday making transfers, So i think we'll keep it simple and only have 4 prizes. Im all for the 200,250,200,350 breakdown tho, as long as noone who already transferred funds disagrees.

I wasn't suggesting doing those! Was just sharing the rules from the big pool I do every year. Don't forget to tell us how you're assigning squares.

Edit: If it was me, I'd make a list, numbered 1 through 100 and fill in people's names as they pay, ie:

1. Mayhem
2. Mayhem
3. Mayhem
...
11. melioris
12. melioris
...
16. New Guy
17. New Guy
...

You get the idea. Then, after you have the list filled in (or at any time, really), go and generate a sequence of 100 numbers. Write those numbers in the boxes of your grid (0,0 Top left - 9,9 bottom right), starting in the top left square and going across and down, like you would if you were writing. Then simply add people's names to their square and Tada!

I am in for 10 squares if I can get a transfer from FT or pay on FT.

I'll take 3.

Anyone who wishes to pay on FTP my name there is fghtffyrdmns. First letter of city is W.

I didnt put this in the original post because of the high probability of typos, lol. Probably best if you copy and paste the name from this post.

Yeah I know, I just feel bad for whoever is running your pool, lol. Yeah I was gonna google a random number generator after everyone had paid, but that one looks good. Thanks TP.

This is first come first serve based on payment btw, looks like it will sell out too. If I get too many transfers I will transfer back to whoever misses the deadline ASAP.

I'm in for 1. I'll transfer on 'Tilt.

$10 transferred

I'm in for 2 squares. Money shipped.
Cali :)

I don't really understand how this is going to work, but fuck it I like 0 EV gambling. Give me 5.

damn tp for a guy who sucks you sure got a lot of ideas about this :rolleyes:


FTW

Ohhh, fancy....

And yes, I suck (suck = uber lazy), but I still want things done right! :cheers:

9.95? lameeeee

TP 10
Kurn 1
Storm 10
Cali 2

That leaves 50 spots left. gogogogo.

100 shipped to fghtffyrdmns on full tilt.

3 squares for me ($30 shipped on Stars).

lol, you remind me of my Dad.

Yeah, of course sucks = lazy. Remember I am the original sucker in this thread. :D

Although I still don't think it is right, sounds more like you got to do it yourself next time or eat your "suggestions" :p

money sent
 

$10 sent for 1 square

I have no idea what I'm doing, have never watched a single game of football, nor will I know how to tell if I actually win something or not, but what the hell, if all I have to do is send money without comprehension, I'm in. So, 2 squares for me and money sent.

Jillaj 10
Blib 3
Bdawg 1
N1k 2

35 spots left.

Yeeeeeeeehawwww keep em comming!!!!!:thumbsup:

Do we really want to let a guy that can't get basic math right run the pool???? :D:D:D

Assuming Storm did pick up 10, I think there's 34 left...

lmao, yeah 34 is correct, and yes boobie did send 100.

buying two more squares
 

assuming that there are still some left to buy - i am going to send another $20 for (2) more squares

got it. 32 left.

Crap, I keep forgetting to send in the $, sorry May... I'll try to get it shipped tonight (if I can f'in remember). :rolleyes:

I'll take at least one for now.

I may get one or two more if any are left before gametime.

sending now..............

:cheers:

Come on people ante up .This will be great fun and dont stick mayhem with the remaining boxes. Shit he'll probably win every quarter if that happens...Real fun!!!

Received Drewjax. 31 left.

k

had a decent night shortstack donking 25NL:p

gimme one more


$10 sent

thanks for setting this up mayhem...............and rigging it in my favor obv.

:cheers::cheers:

Shipped (finallly).

Received both, thanks. 27 left.

I may jump in for a couple of more if there are any left tomorrow. let me see if I can drum up some business here in The Ocean State.

If anybody wants to pitch in and share a few squares, lemme know. Id be up for it. Try to get a few more sold.

Like if we get 4 or us, we can each buy one more, and then split em 4 ways........It would give us several more opportunites to at least break even or make a few bucks.

Im setting the cutoff for purchase at 4pm ET tomorrow. Hurry up people!

I am still good for up to half of what you have left.

I'll take 2 more to help with the leftovers. Shipping $20 now. Make them winners.

Do you think you'll be able to get the numbers posted by 5:00 or so? That would be great.

Thanks for running this.
