I'm here with the most classic of all classic Super Bowl Gambling games you can play at your Super Bowl party. It is so very simple, and I think i've even managed to make something seemingly un-girly, girly! Hey, it's kinda my thing!

So if these instructions are a bit confusing, and you are more of a hands on learner, like me here is an example:
Let's say I'm having a party and I ask my party guests if they would like to buy squares. The squares cost just $1 a piece. Here are what my party guests buy...
Oscar the Grouch (OTG) - Asks for 10 squares - puts in $10
Miley Cyrus (MC) - Asks for 5 squares - puts in $5 (cheap ass)
Peter Griffin (PG)-Asks for 10 squares and a Pawtucket Patriot- puts in $10 but no money for the beer
General Neyland (GN) asks for 5 squares - but just gives me a high 5. So, I go ahead and cover his $5
You know I wouldn't skip a gambling opportunity. I buy 10 squares - $10 (SRW)
Terrell Owens - (TO) tries to buy just 5 squares, I tell him if he buys more I'll be his Facebook friend, so he buys 20 - $20 (He ended up having to take out a loan for the $20)
Buggs Bunny (BB) comes in and scoops up the rest ($40)
With $100 in the pot. We will have 4 winners, each winner gets $25! Our board now looks like this...
So our next step is to randomly list our numbers across the top and down the side.
So then we sit down and start drinking cheese dip and funneling beers while watching the game. The first quarter ends, and the score is Seattle 7 - Denver 10. Find 7 on Seattle's side, and 0 on Denver's side, then you find your winner!
And Buggs is your first quarter winner! Yay Buggs, get it! Any questions??! I'm here to help!
*Warning* Always play with ice cold (Miller light) beer! And of course drink responsibly and junk.

Oh, and on another very important note, I wanted to help out my blogging friend Marty. Her friend's 4 year old daughter Sophia has been in the hospital since the end of November getting treated for tumors in her brain and spine. A lot of sports fans who know her family came together and donated some autographed/limited edition sports items from our personal collections and started a fundraiser on Ebay, where many of the items start to end in about 3 days. Some of the smaller items are photos, balls, videos, but some get super crazy like Brian Chashman's [Yankees GM] suite at the stadium with meet and greet! Go check it out and help Sophia!
I haven't been in a super bowl pool in a long time.
ReplyDeleteWe usually do one around our office. I'm surprised it hasn't taken place yet.
ReplyDeleteI buy squares for my dog too...
ReplyDeleteI can always get my family to do this: all the fun of pools or fantasy, but no knowledge required!
ReplyDeleteHow totally super fitting that the Sophia links were included in today's post! Remember that question I had on Friday that I forgot...it was totally about squares!!! Hahahaha. Never knew a thing about them, but now that I know the deal, I can gamble :] Thanks for the info and thanks for spreading the word about the auction!
ReplyDeleteWe played freshman year with our freshman dorm! I lost, ha!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done this in years. We used to do this every year for the game. I might just have to bring it back to life!
ReplyDeleteI love playing squares and even more so I loved your tutorial! Clever as always!
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! :) I'm bringing this with me this year :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever seen a game like this and I love it! I think I'll just be watching the game with Jarrod, but Maybe we can bet chores or chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this game before but it looks really fun and entertaining!
ReplyDeletewe're playing this at work, but the squares are $5 so theres a $500 pot!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of games anyone can play during the super bowl. I get a little bored so it helps me keep things together. I put up a different game on my blog today, too!

I need to play this game!! Not only do I want to win, but games are so much fun. You can totally make this a drinking game also. Winner gets to hand out 25 drinks! Oh the possibilities

Love this post! I probably won't be watching the Superbowl this year, because my 49ers didn't make it and I'm a sore loser ;)
ReplyDeleteI am not really interested in the game, as I am not a huge fan of either team. I am just super excited for all the fireball whiskey and great commercials, but I might be excited if I can win money in this genius idea you have construed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I'm having some folks over for the Super Bowl, and I hadn't even thought of playing a game. Genius! Thanks!

We also do a few of these at work, I bought 5 squares this year, hoping to walk away with some cash!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! I may need to talk my lady pals into this!
ReplyDeleteLove this!!! Wish I was having a party or going to one to do this...
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a fun game to play! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeletei'm doing this for the first time this year -- the guy doing ours ended up having to make like 5 because so many people wanted in on it. crossing fingers for $100's!! go broncos :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this?! Definitely printing this baby out. My girlfriends and I do squares every year. I'll confess I don't know shit about sports... but I like money! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE me some squares. That and the commercials are the only things that make sports interesting to me… sorry to let you down.
