Back in MA my best friend ran one for $100/square. There would be a big party on Super Bowl Sunday. This pool was unique to my knowledge and had alot of moving parts:
  • Each square cost $100
  • Each score paid $300, e.g., whoever drew 0-0 won $300, after a touchdown 6-0 paid $300, after extra point 7-0 paid $300 and so on.
  • End of quarter paid $300
  • At the end of each quarter AFC numbers were increased by one, NFC were decreased by one.
  • After numbers changed, beginning of quarter paid $300
  • At end of game that score gets whatever money left in pot.

Lots of fun and it was a really good party for $100.
Thanks for the reply. Owning boxes just added to0 the fum. AND you don't have to know anything about football to win-- just dumb luck.
