We're back for another year, but with an added option.

In addition to the usual pools...
$10 - 125/250/125/500(final score)
$25 - 300/650/300/1250(final score)
$50 - 625/1250/625/2500(final score)

I'm also adding a $250 board that pays at every score change. Here's how that's going to work - every time points go on the board, somebody wins. If a field goal is the first score, whoever has 3-0 wins. If the next score is a touchdown by the other team, 3-6 wins. When the extra point gets kicked, 3-7 wins. Easy enough? Good. The end of quarters or halftime don't matter in this pool. Final score does. Whoever has the final score right will be the big winner. Instead of having one set amount for each score change, or a set amount for the final score winner, and risking a high or low scoring game taking away from the spirit of this pool, I'm going with a sliding scale.

# of score changes
1-5 = 3k per change
6-8 = 2k
9-12 = 1.5k
13-25 = 1k
25+ = everything split evenly

Here it is broken all the way down
Score changes - Amount per score change / Amount to final winner(in addition to the money from the final score change)
1 = 3k per change / 22k to the final
2 = 3k / 19k
3 = 3k / 16k
4 = 3k / 13k
5 = 3k / 10k
6 = 2k / 13k
7 = 2k / 11k
8 = 2k / 9k
9 = 1.5k / 11.5k
10 = 1.5k / 10k
11 = 1.5k / 8.5k
12 = 1.5k / 7k
13 = 1k / 12k
14 = 1k / 11k
15 = 1k / 10k
16 = 1k / 9k
17 = 1k / 8k
18 = 1k / 7k
19 = 1k / 6k
20 = 1k / 5k
21 = 1k / 4k
22 = 1k / 3k
23 = 1k / 2k
24 = 1k / 1k
25 = 1k

Last year there were 21 score changes I believe, and that was the most in at least 12-15 years. One recent year(2018?) there were only 5, but that was the only one with less than 10. The average has been around 14-15 so that's how I came up with this pay scale.

I'm sure there will be questions, so ask away.

When do you think we’ll rand the boards that are full?

Hopefully by Wednesday. There are a couple people I need to collect from before we do it, but I don't plan on waiting and doing all the boards at once. I'll get $10 #1, $25 #1, and the $50 done up ASAP.


this post will be my last time acknowledging a randomizing process until after it happens
then i can bitch all i want

That was my strategy last year. It didn't help much.

But the bitching did feel pretty good.


I intend to hit Red and Tom with 5s and 2s to assist in their bitching.

I'm filing a petition to prevent you from being involved in the randomization at all. The temporary restraining order should be delivered to you within hours.


It's not an official Super Bowl Squares pool until RED and Tom start fighting over 2s and 5s. Calm down, gents. There are enough 2s, 5s, and 8s for both of you.

Unless EC notarizes it, i refuse to acknowledge the existence of such an order.


Anyone is welcome to join but everyone needs to escrow. PM me for escrow info.

Which is the reason I'm OUT this year 😆

Well that, and stacking my face off before the halving. Anyone in the market for some lightly-worn clothing or miscellaneous power tools? Please report to my Poshmark...


I’ll take
5 @$10
2 @$25
1@$250 (doubling squares at $125 is fine.


hey ec. Can't believe I almost forgot about this!!! Thanks again for running it once more.

Can I please take:

4 x $10
4 x $25
4 x $50

I'm not at my computer right now - will send in a few hours....

Hey, I had 8-5 last year!

All we need is for Philly to stop KC's last drive, win the toss, go down the field for a FG, and it's like printing money! Sigh.


1 250 square please


by TehVader k

1 250 square please

In case you missed the recent discussion here, there's a good chance these get split into two $125s. I've got you signed up but let me know if that's a problem.

That's what you get for pilfering two of my coveted numbers!

Or did you take them from RED? If that's the case, you wuz robbed!


I was contemplating asking someone if they wanted to split two 250s but if we don't fill I'm good with double squares. In for one $250. Money on the way.


4 $250

Or, I believe 3 $250 if that puts it at 50 at it doesn't fill up.


I’d cut it at 50 now, halve it to $125, and start a waiting list if necessary in case anyone drops out.

Get it all wrapped up by Friday. Don’t ruin your weekend


$10 #1 - SOLD OUT
$25 #1 - SOLD OUT
$50 - SOLD OUT

$10 #2 - 29 left
$25 #2 - 71
$250 - 50 / SOLD OUT?

We've reached the halfway point on the $250s. I'm a bit stubborn and not ready to give up quite yet. I'm going to start a wait list for anyone who still wants to get in on the $250s. If I can get it up to at least 85-90 sold, I'll run it with the blank squares mentioned before. If I can't get that high, it'll become a $125 board and everyone who has signed up so far will get double the squares.

$250 wait list
h_ven - 1


I'm in for another $250. Just didn't want to take up a spot if we were going to cut it to 50 people.


EC-Outlaw

1) $10 I would like 5 Squares
2) $25 I would like 6 Squares

PM your venmo info and I will send $ ASAP


4 25's please

Hmmmmmmm.....i figured you wouldn't be able to resist. 😆


My friend wanted 2 and I matched him :shrug:

In other news, I have gotten both 7-0 and 0-7 in another pool so you can kiss that one goodbye this year. 9-3 has a better shot.
