Probably the most popular gambling event during the Super Bowl. Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on it.

Love it? Hate it? Ever win? Any fun stories?

Personally, I hate it. Never won and would rather just bet or do other types of pools instead.

A buddy of mine runs a prop bet pool every year if you want in. $10.

You wont believe how many people say no and would rather do squares. :obama:

I've had pretty good luck with squares, I like to make bets as well. Two different things, buying squares at a bar or party just adds another element while watching the game.

I get that but I consider myself a legit gambler that over time luck kind of moves out the way. No issues with the ones looking just for some. It just aint my bag.

Also, Im the type of dude that sports gambles and plays poker. Only No limit cause its an art. But, if I want to turn my mind off. I play the slots but only the ones that entertain me like Wizard of Oz and shit. lol

Where I am from they sell "tickets" on pretty much anything televised. Makes the games worth watching - or glancing at, anyway - when it is an otherwise meaningless matchup. The tickets are same as super bowl squares - tear them off the board and every board has 100 tickets- one for each possible combination.

Miss having that available all the time since I moved. But still get them at times through friends or when I am back home.

As it is, for Super Bowl, I will do both - get in some squares at a couple places, including the party Igo to for the game, but will ask a friend to get the tickets, too.

I like them, but I never seem to get good numbers. I did win when the Seahawks/Patriots played on that final INT. I was certainly happy Carroll passed the ball.


Yesterday I had Chiefs 4 and 49ers - 0. Imagine how upset I was to watch Damien Williams run in a TD with a little over a minute left.

I've been buying into my family Super Bowl squares for 20 years.

They do winner for the first 3 Quarters and then 4th/Game.

I've never won a single time.

Not once.... Idk how this is possible.

I've won once in 15 or so years.
