Superbowl Party Games and Betting Games

[over the mountain]

We've all been to superbowl parties with betting games such as the square game where you pick a square and hope the score at the end of the half or quarter matches your square. These games can get you quite a bit of coin.

Figured id start a thread talking about it.

What i really want to know is:

1) what is the best strategy (best squares) in the square game?

2) are there any new cool superbowl games?

heres a link of general games and what-not to get started. Plus it has a printable square for you to print and take home.

Doesn't matter which square you pick. The numbers are drawn at random prior to the game, so you have no idea what numbers you'll have. If the numbers were already there everyone would want the 7x7, 7x3, 3x0, etc.

yeah the numbers are random but 0-3-7 seem to be the best to have...

My father was in a pool which was 300 a block and it paid on ever score change and also paid out 0 to 0 starting the game and it also paid at the end of every qtr. Well he got 0 & 0 and won like 6,000 that night. Its all luck so just pick one.

I've only played paper football at halftime, sorry.

Oh and shots on opposing team scores.. and turnovers

Ive actually heard that 6 squares down and 7 squares over is the best to have. ie it hits a tiny percentage more than the others. Unfortunately I cannot find a link to support that. I heard the local sports guy say it last year.

Maybe they checked the past scores and determined that a lot of them were 6/7 endings

but wouldn't that depend which team you put on top.. and which on the side?

I guess buy both
