Super Bowl Squares (2 Viewers)

For about the last 8 years or so we have been doing a $1 per second squares game for superbowl, national championship, etc.

Same 10 x 10 layout with randomly assigned team axes and digits as a traditional squares game, but squares cost $36 each and the pool is distributed as $1 per game clock second to the person on the current score square.

So 0-0 starts off 'on the clock' and gets $1 per game clock second until the first score.

We have also run it as $72 per square where the 'winning' score is counted both ways. 0-7 and 7-0 would be 'on the clock' at the same time. 0-0, 1-1, etc would get paid $2 per game clock second in the event that the game score was on one of those ten combinations.

I like it more than the traditional squares game. It tends to have more, albeit smaller, winners which encourages repeat participation.
It also provides for some epic 'bad beats' like when you have 0-0 and then there is a safety 12 seconds into the game.
Yeah, Payton Manning, I'm looking right at you, motherfucker!

I don't think I've ever done superbowl squares btw lol.

sorry for the stupid questions, or if its in the OP. Does each quarter square get paid? or just the final score?

Ok the names are in random order according to how I remembered who was in after a fat joint of the East Coast sour punch. They are listed in my post #75.
Refresher course on the rules.
Tomorrow Saturday Feb 1 mass state lottery number will determine everyone’s number.
if lottery number comes 4126...
@BarrieJ3 would have number 4,
@detroitdad would have number 5,
@72o would have number 6. Etc....

The combined final score of both teams . For example if San Fran wins 35-20 ....55 total points. The one who has 5 gets the moolah. If the score is Chefs 49-3 ....52 total points. The one who has 2 wins. I will update the thread at 8:15 tomorrow after the lottery is drawn . You will know your number then. Things can get crazy in the fourth quarter like it did 2 years ago. Last year was kind of boring, unless you were @PAZ or @MykL316 , but this year should be awesome.
 
Totally missed this. Is anyone interested in doing actual boxes? With quarterly winners?
 
nevermind....Is 8 ...any good
Some rough odds based on previous years...
