    Anybody want to do a pool for the super bowl?

    I always get in on a few of these with friends and family, figured I'd toss the idea out here to see if anybody wanted in. Essentially a 10 x 10 square. Fill your name out on as many squares as you want. Then randomly fill in number 0-9 on top and side. At the end of each quarter if your numbers match, you win 1/4 of the pot. 50 cents per square would make each quarter worth $12.50. We could even do $1 a square if we were feeling like a gamble.

    there would be 100 spaces that needed to be filled and this is a little last minute. If you want in, post here and let me know how many you'd want and how much per square you'd want.



    Im on my phone but hopefully that shows up.

    Id collect the money via PayPal and send the winner of each quarter their winnings after the game

    If we get enough people I'm in. This is actually pretty fun and who wouldn't want to do $.50 per square

    It's a lot of fun! It's kind of like a replacement of fantasy, gives you something else to root for during the game while putting a little cash on the line. 50 cents per square is cheap enough that everyone can enter without breaking the bank.

    heck, if people who don't know anything about football just want to put a dollar or two in, they could end up winning one or more of the quarters!

    I'd be interested. Just tag me or something if it works out. I'll be away most of the day though so worst case scenario just put me in on 2 squares I'll pay the money later on if it happens.

    I'm just going to go ahead and start it up.
    I picked 16 squares, $8.

    The pool is below.



    If you want squares, just copy it, add your name to as many squares as you want and post the resulting square up. Hopefully we can fill it up in time for kickoff. We can do payments later if it works out

    The nfl is pretty shady to gamble on. There has been a little too many coincidences in the past few years.

    Patriots winning after 9/11
    Saints winning after Katrina
    just to name a few....

    There's really no way to know for sure. With this particular type of gambling, you're not betting on one outcome or another, it's just adding a little more fun to the game.

    Couldnt get nearly enough people to play though which is very surprising. Oh well.
