How do the Super Bowl squares work? A step-by-step guide

An NFL Super Bowl bash wouldn't be complete without the football squares game. "Squares" is a straightforward pool-based gambling style with a long history of household and workplace football game fan events. It certainly doesn't appeal much to serious gamblers, but it can increase enthusiasm for the game.

Other methods to wager in the game include prop competitions and through your favorite websites. One of the simplest ways to socialize is through Super Bowl squares.

Step-by-Step Guide on how to play the Super Bowl square

The grid used for Super Bowl squares is ten by ten. In some ways, it resembles a bingo card. The columns are given to one team, and the rows to the other. Then, a number between 0 and 9 is randomly allocated to each column and row. To take part, participants must choose a square according to what they predict the result to be at a particular point in the game, usually after each quarter.

Step 1: Print a 10x10 grid or create one electronically with one of the many available free websites

Step 2: To draw numbers, make sure to leave an additional blank row and column

Step 3: Get your guests, colleagues, and any additional participants to put their names on the grid in the squares they want to choose. One input for each square

Step 4: Once all 100 squares are covered, the grid is considered set. Before numbers are drawn, the complete board needs to be filled out.

Step 5: For both teams, draw random numbers from 0 to 9

After each quarter, the last digits of the results are customarily used to select the champion. For instance, if Team A leads Team B 17-10 at halftime, the participant whose name appears on the grid with a "7" for Team A and a "0" for Team B wins.

Super Bowl Square's payout structure

The reward is typically set up with one winner for each of the first, second, and third quarters and a fourth winner for the last quarter. The final result predictor wins the most; however, rewards may be equal or rise in value with each quarter.

Remember that since people can take as many squares as they want, one person may win multiple times depending on where their squares are located. Therefore, to ensure that everyone has a chance to play, you should initially limit the number of spaces allotted to each player if your group is large.
