Football Squares Pool A lot of people run Super Bowl squares contests — also known as block pools, grid pools, or box pools — for the big game in February. But why not do them every week? The basic rules: Pick an NFL game and start with a 100-square grid, with numbers 0-9 listed along each axis. For the unfamiliar, Super Bowl squares require entrants to place their name in one or more of the 100 available squares (if you’re playing for money, a square would cost a predetermined amount). Super Bowl - Rules and Payouts for the $5 Squares Pool Squares are $5 each for a total prize pool of $500; First 100 people to pay in full, are in the pool. There will be 12 winners in this pool.
Without a doubt, the most popular betting pool for the big game is the 100 square contest. Here’s the easy run down on how to make one if you have never seen it before. You need to concoct a 10×10 chart and number each column and row zero through nine. Then put one team name on top of the grid and the other on the side. Now you have the basic 100-square grid for your football pool.
Unless you have a wealthy group, charging a dollar a block is pretty typical to keep it fun and less serious. That would make the pot $100. The only drawback with this pool is that luck is more involved with winning than your gambling skill.

Using our grid, you could have different numbers for each quarter and the final prize. This way someone doesn’t get stuck with a bad combination for the entire game. I believe this is by far the best way to do it.
After the squares are divvied out, you are all set to go. Smaller prizes are usually awarded to the winners of each quarter. Then there’s a grand prize that goes to the person whose square reflects the game’s final score.
For those that don’t know. Here’s how you win. Let’s say the score is 17-3 in favor of the Chiefs at the half. The person with the 7-3 square would win the prize. Having winners after each quarter will keep everyone involved throughout the game. Download or click and print our free 100-square pool for your party this year!
