Super Bowl squares is a pool consisting of 10 vertical columns and 10 horizontal rows thatched together and numbered from zero to nine. One Super Bowl team gets the columns and the other gets the rows. Each of the 100 squares inside is purchased individually. A punter can purchase as many squares as they wish and they add their name in one of the 100 boxes on the 10 x 10 square.
Before making the purchase, punters will be made aware of a per-square buy-in price, for the purposes of learning, we will use $2 as an example and what this would automatically mean is that the total pot would be worth $200. Some Super Bowl square games break down each quarter evenly, giving up to four bettors $50 each.
Below is a very good example which best explains Super Bowl Squares;
In a Super Bowl match between Cleveland Browns vs New England Patriots whereby the Patriots have a 13-8 lead over Browns at the end of the First Quarter, the NFL square operator would find the side of the grid associated with the Patriots, use the column with the 0 and cross-match it with the other side of the grid associated with the Browns. Super Bowl Squares payouts are quite rewarding due to the fact that only one winner can be associated with each cross-section, please note that the more squares that are bought, the greater the payout for the winner.
At the end of every quarter in this match, the person whose square corresponds with the intersection of the second digit of each team’s score wins a prize. If it happens that a square is un-owned, many people usually roll over the money to the next quarter
