Do you want some extra excitement for your Super Bowl party? If yes, I think Super Bowl Squares is your perfect game of chance. This game will keep everyone in their seats, it doesn’t matter if you’re a die-hard football fan or just there for the snacks at commercials. If you have a little luck and the right strategy with you, you could walk away as a winner. So, get ready, and let’s learn how it works.

Super Bowl Squares is probably one of the easiest and most entertaining ways to engage with the big game. This 10×10 grid betting game turns a normal match into an experience, we assign each team in the game to the X and Y axes, giving the participants a chance to win at the end of every quarter. We haphazardly assign each of the 100 squares, taking a number from 0-9 for both teams in the battle, and representing the last digit of their respective scores. As we know how unexpectable the game of football is, the scoring makes each draw even more exciting, as even a last-minute field goal can decide a winner.

The game starts simple, at first, the players pick a square before the numbers are assigned, making sure, it is a random selection. Once the players take all the squares, we randomly draw numbers and assign them to each axis, one for each team. Next, the players keep those numbers for the entire game. At the end of each quarter, we determine the winner by matching the last digit of the teams’ scores to the grid.

Does Super Bowl Squares make the game more thrilling, or is it just a distraction from the action?

Have an interesting take?

You might win as per your luck, but according to statistics, some numbers are better than others. Scores ending in 0, 3, 7, and 4 occur more commonly, thanks to our scoring patterns in football (touchdowns worth 7 points, field goals worth 3). likewise, the numbers 2, 5, and 9 occur rarely. I know, we can’t control which numbers we get, but knowing these probabilities adds fun to the game. So, grab a square, sit back, and let the Super Bowl do its magic!
