Superbowl Block Pool Giveaway Discussion.

There will be a 10 by 10 sheet with numbers on the top and on the left from 0-9. Picture a "grid" if you will. They will populate each block with one name. On game day, numbers will be drawn and put above each column and to the left by each row. you then just have to cross reference your name with the number on top and the number on the left, and these are the ending numbers of each teams' score.

So, you will see the Bears across the top, and the Colts down the left side. Not easy to explain really. If you see your name in a box, and at the top of that column is a 3 and the Bears, and you look to the left and you see a 4 and the colts, then you need the bears score to be ending in a 3 and the Colts to be ending in a 4. example, final score of Colts 24 and Bears 23. You would win.


Hopefully this is how Bobby is running it!!!!

Hope this helps,

Yes, that is exactly correct. The only difference is that the numbers will be blank until all names are in place. Then someone draws from a hat, presumably Mom, and Bobby will write them down one at a time across the top and left. That way it's pretty much a blind draw and you won't know your numbers until gameday. It's pretty cool.

There used to be a big one I would get into in Rhode Island. $500 a square, so you can imagine a very nice payout. They paid all quarters of the game and double numbers, 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc.

A very good form of a draw:) I'm amazed I've never heard this.

Probably because a score of 24-13 would be pretty odd in the type of football they play over there.

oops !! Sorry Bobby. Got carried away.
