2024 NFL Sunday Night Football season long squares pool
Let's try this again shall we? Last year I had this concept, got started late, then had a health scare that derailed my ability to fulfill this contest.
Season long NFL Sunday night football squares pool details: The typical squares board, consisting of 100 squares. The final score of the 18 regular season Sunday night football games, as well as the first 2 playoff rounds, will be the games to be used to determine winners. Once the schedule is released, I will list the tentative games (as the NFL can flex games out of that spot). If games are flexed, I will update each week's official game at the beginning of the week. Payouts will be 5x the entry for each week. Randomization will be done in advance of the season starting, 10 times. This means each square grid will be used for 2 weeks. The board will consist of Home/Away teams for scoring purposes. Home across the top, Away down the side. The goal is to have a $20 pool, and a $100 pool. I am taking names only at this time. Once we get to 70 squares filled, I will start taking escrow. All squares must be escrowed in advance. If a board doesn't sell out, we will roll with blank squares so long as we get 70% coverage. If a blank square hits, that week's prize will roll to the following week. If the final game lands on a blank square, the prize would revert to the most recent winner.
Payouts will be on a weekly basis once the Sunday night football game has been finalized. Please let me know if you have any questions on this!
Interest list:
$20 squares ($100 payout per week on final score only):
cokeboy99: 5 squares
$100 squares ($500 payout per week on final score only):
cokeboy99: 2 squares

Final score Houston 19, Chicago 13.
Home team 9, away team 3.
Week 2 winner is AquaSwing! Funds will be sent via PayPal shortly. Congrats!!
Got it, thank you!
Nothing like receiving a random payment through PayPal at 9:51 pm. Isn't gambling fun?
USA USA USA USA!
Welcome to week 3!! Our game to watch is the Chiefs (away team) at the Falcons (home team).
Once again, here is the board for week 3. Payout will be via the same method I received escrow, and will be shortly after the end of the game. Good luck everyone!
5,5 and 2,5.
I'm going to be very comfortable for a couple of weeks!
I have 3 shots if the home team score ends in a 4. So hopefully Atlanta scores 14 or 24 this week.
1-4
4-4
0-3
I think this is my chance to break even
8-5 - 79o
0-7 - AA
3-0 - AKs
9-8 - 27o
7-1 - AJs
i like my hands
took a little while because i'm dumb but with enough attempts i finally got chatgpt to estimate the value of scores for this game - took a while for it to understand we were only doing full scores not quarters and that i wanted it to guess etc (bastard kept on trying to get me to do the work myself wtf)
here they are in order, can't say that i disagree but there's a few surprises like 0,4 and 5.7 that i'd definitely have put lower than something like 0,6 but it seems pretty reasonable to me

Theoretical or results driven?
estimated, gpt claimed not to have access to nfl scores, which i know is bs because it can answer this stuff
this itself probably has some issues as he missed time etc so the real answer would require a bunch of follow up questions but you get the idea, it certainly has access to nfl scoring databases
but it's probably done as a safeguard in order to prevent problem gamblers from believing they have an edge due to using gpt as a quant
maybe if i spent another 20 minutes socially engineering it i could have gotten genuine answers based on historical data but even getting that estimated power rankings was like extracting teeth (pro tip - if you frame things to it as a game or puzzle and tell it the rules of the game then it becomes a lot more compliant)
pfr has the history, parse by home team may take a few steps
Don't know why you're all mathing in here, everyone knows it's 50/50, you either win or you don't.
cb, hope this isn't too big a hassle but was wondering if you could amend my two spaces to kevinb1983-1 and kevinb1983-2 going forward? I'm splitting with my wife and she's obv onto the fact I'm dumping the worse of the two squares on her 😃😃😃

All of the randomizing has been completed already, so there really isn't a way to separate them out.

just do an agreement where one of you has the first one to appear on the list where you start in a specific order probably simplest way to do it
Another option is to just split any winnings you might get.
ty gents, appreciate you guys!
Another option is to alternate who picks the square they want each week.
Another option is to give them both to her for the future goodwill when she wins every other week from then on.
The final score for tonight's game is Atlanta 17, Kansas City 22.
Home team 7, away team 2 means the winner is me! I have that square, and it is a rare final score win with a 2 involved.
Good luck to everyone next week!
Payout has been made, and received.
see now i wouldn't have thought 7-2 would be a good combo but then sure enough gpt had it 6th best overall and of course you win with it too 😉
