Welcome to THE NEW squaresPool.com, where you can run your free Superbowl Squares Pool Online!

squarespool.com is a free site where you can run your free Superbowl Football Squares Pool online! You get your own personal web page to run your squares pool, and it's completely free!

Or you can run any other kind of SQUARES pool. It doesn't have to be for the superbowl.

For those who don't already know, in a squares pool, everyone picks one or more out of 100 squares. This is your typical 100 square football pool. At the end of each quarter of the game, the score is used to determine which square won. Only 1 square will be a winner each quarter. What you do is take the LAST digit of the first team's score, and find that number on the left. Then follow that row over to the column that matches the last digit of the SECOND team's score.

Best numbers to get

Certain scores are of course more likely than others. Therefore, when they pick their square(s), they don't know what the NUMBERS are on the left and on the top. After everyone picks their square(s), the game runner will generate the numbers.

So, WHICH numbers are more likely??? I'll just go back to last year (2011) and see how many NFL scores ended in each number. I'm skipping pre-season games, so up through the conference championships, you had 267 games, so you had 534 scores. So, which superbowl squares numbers are more likely, which ones happen more often? HERE IT IS:

Number	Times Occurred	Percent	Scores	Comments
7	94	15.6%	17 (42 times), 27 (27 times!), 7 (17 times), 37 (8 times)	Gotta get that 7!
0	86	14.3%	20 (39 times), 10 (26 times), 30 (14 times), 0 (5 times), 40 (2 times)
4	82	13.6%	24 (40 times), 14 (21 times), 34 (20 times), 44 (1 times)
3	80	13.3%	23 (32 times), 13 (30 times), 3 (13 times), 33 (5 times)	Looks like 3 or 4 are about the same
1	41	6.8%	31 (20 times), 21 (12 times),	THIS ROW is the cutoff! You want to have a 7, 0, 4, or 3!
6	37	6.1%		I really would have thought 6 would be more common!
9	33	5.5%
8	31	5.1%
5	30	5.0%		Looks like 9, 8, and 5 are equally bad
2	20	3.3%		Gotta hate this one! The WORST one is a 2!

Of course the problem here is that I just have the TOTAL score. I bet 3 is a lot more likely in the first quarter. But my database only has final scores. If anyone knows where I could get a database of scores by quarter, could you let me know? My email is craigh01@gmail.com.

Or you can run the program to generate this page: Most Likely SuperBowl Square Numbers

Running it with just 1 number instead of 4 numbers

Note: some people, for reasons I don't understand, want just ONE number along the side and across the top. So, they just want to count the total score. To me, that's boring, you only get one winner! At least make it more fun so they can cheer and hope for their score to come up on quarter 1, 2, 3, AND the final score! So, EVERY quarter they can go "come on... come on all I need is a field goal... don't miss it.. don't miss it..." (and then of course he missed it!). Or those that hope against hope can go "all I need is a SAFETY in the next 5 minutes..."... And then they get it! Can you imagine the screams on that one???

However, if you MUST do it with just one number, just make your payout for quarters 1, 2, and 3 equal to zero, and don't fill in the quarter scores, just fill in the final score. It will work out the same for you!

Finding your pool

FIND Superbowl Squares Pool. Each squares pool has it's own home page. Your game runner should have given you the home page of your pool. For example, http://www.squarespool.com/joespool.htm. However, if you've forgotten your home page name, you can find that here:
  Find a Superbowl Squares Pool

Or you can search for your pool here: Search for Pool

The dude put his squares pool on a spreadsheet
If your game runner is one of those dinosaurs who insists on running his game on a spreadsheet (or, even worse, on paper!), you can STILL use this site. Just take HIS spreadsheet, strip out all the crap leaving just the 10 X 10 names, and you can UPLOAD the spreadsheet into this site. That makes it more fun during the game, everyone can see who's winning, and you don't have to "figure it out", the program finds the winner for you. AND, you can keep putting in possibilities, like, say, the score is 17 - 3 in the middle of the first quarter, you can easily see who would win if it STAYS that way, or you can try it like, say, if the NFC gets another field goal who would win.
