I run a popular and unique Super Bowl squares pool every year if anyone is interested.  Its $100 a square, but instead of paying out only once at the end of each quarter (meaning only 4 possible winners), I pay out $500 every single score change, including XP scores.  So if the game is 0-0 and Eagles score a TD, who ever has Eagles 6 - Chiefs 0 wins $500.  Once the XP is completed successfully, then who ever has Eagles 7 - Chiefs 0 also wins $500.  That means there is up to 20 possible winners over the course of the game as we pay $500 a score change until the money is gone.  In the event there isn't 20 total score changes before the game ends, all remaining money goes to who had the final score.  

 

In the decade plus I have been running this, I think only once did 20 score changes happen, so most of the time final score gets a big bonus on top of what ever they won in game.  The biggest was the Cheatriots 13 - 3 win over the Lambs where 3 -3 square won twice in game ($1000) and then when the game ended with it still being 3 -3 as last digits of scores, he got the remaining $7000 for a total win of $8000 that year.  

 

DM me if you are interested, and I will send you the link and password to choose your squares.  You can get as many as you like, but board is already half full after launching it this morning, so I would ping me soon if you it interests you.  Once you pick your squares, just venom or paypal me for the squares.  

 

NOTE:  The numbers are randomly selected by the hosting site, but they are not chosen until all squares are sold and all money collected first.  
 

UPDATE:  Board is full.  Good luck to those who got in!

Guy in my golf club runs the exact same pool. Philly vs KC 2 years ago was the only time the money ran dry. Been playing for 10+ years and never won a cent. Maybe this year. Cinci vs Rams was a big payout for 3 Rams, 0 Cinci. Payouts for 13-10 (Rams lead,) 20-13 (Cinci lead,) and the final 23-20 Rams. Total of $4500 for the winner.

Yeah, I have been doing it at least 12 years and the only game was the one that got to 20 payouts.  I have still NEVER won a single square, including a couple friends smaller pools.  But I have picked a ton of winners for people who said "just pick me a square(s)" and it always pisses me off hahaha.  Ive easily picked 15-20 winning squares and 0 for myself.  

 

The Pats/Rams game my wife (who was just my friend at the time) had Pats 0, Rams 3 and already won $500 and with a minute to go she was looking at a $8500 bonus on top of that.  Then the stupid Pats kicked that meaningless FG since they came up short to keep the chewing clock and they of course kick the FG to make it 13 -3.  So the guy with 3 - 3 had his square hit twice for $1000 and then he got the remaining $7500 too and won a total of $8500.  

 

My wife still hates the Pats to do this day over that haha.  She also calls me the anti poon because she won some squares before we started dating and hasn't won any since we started dating haha.

Numbers should always be picked after board is full!

Typically any squares I pick, it will be 2 minutes before an end of the quarter, and I'll have the numbers, then someone will score.  Last year I had 9-9 and would have won the end of the 4th quarter, except the pool I was in did final score.

You buy the squares you want. Very different way they do it. 

It’s only $5 a square so it’s not that big a deal but still lol

Masterfully executed if that’s been his play here on TBD all this time.

 

I mean you couldn’t really even be mad and would kind of just have to respect the commitment and chess moves at that point if I spent 17 years setting the table for this 😂

Nobody will be saying "what happened to alphadawg7" on Monday, will they?

 


Nah I’ll be here Monday to start processing each winners first payment of $16.67 annually for 30 years for each square won or processing their 1/3 lump sum payouts if they went that route  😎😂

I was at a golf tournament one year and they had a Hole In One prize of a million dollars.  Reading the fine print of how it would be paid out, you would end up getting about $12,500 a year after taxes for 30 years.  
The following year I was one of the coordinators for the tournament and was able to get two cars as Hole In One prizes (one each on different holes) for less than what was paid the previous year for the Million dollar prize.
