You may have seen a 10 x 10 grid with 100 squares when looking at a Super Bowl party flyer or an online ad for a football pool.

Introduction

NFL squares, also known as Super Bowl squares, are a popular betting game for the big game. The object of the game is to have your square selected at the end of each quarter, with the winner being the person whose square is in the correct place at the end of the game.

To play, each person will need to purchase a square (or multiple squares) on a 10-by-10 grid. The grid will have 100 squares in total, with each square representing a different score combination. For example, one square may be labeled “0-0,” while another may be labeled “7-3.”

Once all of the squares have been purchased, they will be randomly assigned to numbers between 0 and 9. These numbers correspond to the last digit of each team’s score at the end of each quarter. So, if the Patriots are leading 7-3 at halftime, then anyone with a square that has “7” as one of its coordinates would win.

At the end of each quarter, the winner(s) will be determined and will receive a prize (usually money) from the pool. The prize for each quarter is typically set beforehand by the person organizing the game. For example, if there is $100 in the pot and 10 people playing, then each person would receive $10 for winning a quarter.

The final prize is usually larger than the other prizes, as it is for correctly predicting the final score of the game. For example, if someone has a square that says “34-28” and that is indeed the final score, then they would win the entire pot.

How do NFL Squares Work?

NFL Squares is a game that is commonly played during the Super Bowl. It is a simple game where each square on a 10 by 10 grid is assigned a number. Players then take turns choosing a square and the person who chooses the square that corresponds to the final score of the game wins.

The Basics

At its most basic, an NFL squares pool is a gambling game in which each participant buys a “square” or “box” on a 10-by-10 grid. The grid is then populated with the numbers 0 through 9, both horizontally and vertically. Once all 100 Squares have been sold (or sometimes, once a particular amount of money has been raised), the numbers are randomly assigned to each row and column, and the game can begin.

During each NFL quarter, the last digit of both teams’ scores are matched up with their corresponding square, and whoever holds that square wins the prize for that quarter. So, if you hold the square where the Rams are located when they score a touchdown in the first quarter (giving them a 7-0 lead), and the 49ers are located in the second quarter (giving them a 14-0 lead), you would win two prizes!

At halftime, there is usually another prize given out for whoever holds the square with 0 in it. And at the end of the game, there is one final prize given out for whoever holds the square with the winning team’s score in it.

The Numbers

You’ll see NFL Squares with 100 squares, but you can also find 10×10, 25×25 and 50×50. The 10×10 is the most common. Each square is assigned a number from 0-9 on both the vertical and horizontal axis. So, in a 10×10 Squares pool, each square would be assigned coordinates like “3-0,” “5-2” or “9-7.”

How to Play

To play, you’ll need a 10-by-10 grid. Each square on the grid is available for purchase, and the price is set by the game organizer. Then, the organizers will randomly assign two NFL teams to the top and bottom of the grid. These are your team selections for the duration of the game.

Once all of the squares are filled, the game can begin. The 10-by-10 grid is subdivided into 100 smaller squares, and each small square corresponds to a specific score outcome in the NFL game. For example, if you purchase the square that corresponds to a final score of Patriots 14, Panthers 10, you would win if that were the actual final score of the game.

The prize pool is determined before the game begins, and it’s usually based on how much each square costs. For example, if each square costs $1 and there are 100 squares in total, then the prize pool would be $100. The winner or winners would be determined by whichever score outcome occurs most frequently on the grid. In our example above, if “Patriots 14, Panthers 10” is drawn five times out of 100 possible outcomes, then whoever purchased that square would win five percent of the $100 prize pool, or $5.

How to Win

A lot of people think that winning in an NFL square pool is all about luck. But there’s actually a science to it! If you know how the odds work, you can increase your chances of winning. Let’s take a look at how NFL squares work, and how you can give yourself a better chance to win.

The Basics

NFL squares, also known as football squares, are a type of betting pool where each square on a 10 by 10 grid represents a specific score. For example, if the final score of the game is 21-14, then the person who has the square with the 0 in the first column and 1 in the second column would win.

The object of NFL squares is to try to predict what the final score of the game will be. If you are correct, then you will win money. The amount of money you can win depends on how much money everyone else has bet and how many people are playing.

To play NFL squares, all you need to do is find a 10 by 10 grid and have everyone who wants to play pick a square. Once all the squares have been taken, each row and column is given a number from 0 to 9. These numbers represent the final digit of each team’s score.

For example, if the Patriots are playing the Jets, and someone has picked the square with 0 in the first column and 1 in the second column, that means they are predicting that at some point during the game, one team will score 0 points and one team will score 1 point. It doesn’t matter which team scores which points, as long as those two points add up to 01.

The game can be played for any sport where there is a numerical score, but it is most commonly used for football games.

The Numbers

So how do you win? It all comes down to the numbers. Each square on the grid gets a number 0-9 assigned to it, both horizontally and vertically. These assigned numbers create 100 total squares. A “0” or a “5” is typically assigned to the most coveted squares on the grid (the corners), while a “1” or an “8” is given to the least favorable positions (the middle of each side).

How to Play

NFL squares pools are one of the most popular ways to bet on the Super Bowl. Here’s how they work.

First, you’ll need to buy a square or squares. You can usually do this online, through a pool administrator, or at a sports book. Each square costs the same amount of money, and each square corresponds to a number on a 10-by-10 grid.

The grid is then divided into 100 individual boxes, and each box corresponds to a score combination for either team (for example, if the 49ers are playing the Patriots, someone could have 0-0, 3-7, or any other score combination). The 0-0 box would be located in the lower left-hand corner of the grid, and the 3-7 box would be located in the upper right-hand corner.

Once all of the squares have been sold, the pool administrator will assign two numbers (one from 0 to 9) to each row and column on the grid. These numbers correspond to the last digit of each team’s score at the end of each quarter (or half for some pools). So, if someone has purchased the 0-0 box and the Patriots score a touchdown in the first quarter to go up 7-0, that person would win because 7 is in column 0 and 0 is in row 7.

Conclusion

In conclusion, NFL Squares is a simple game that can be enjoyed by football fans of all ages. Whether you’re playing for fun or for money, it’s a great way to add another level of excitement to your game day experience.
