superbowl square

[Talking Poker]

I also suck.

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

What is a square?

[Kurn]

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.

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!

[MAYHEM45]

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.
