this is more towards people in capital region...

anyone interested in playing squares for the super bowl? I have about 20 left if you are interested om me....$5 per square, payout is as follows...

1st qtr $75
2nd qtr $100
3rd qtr $75
4th/OT $250

if you dont know how to play its very simple, you pick a square sign your name then when all square are full, numbers will be randomy selected 0-9 for each team and the last number of the score at the end of each quarter is followed down to see who's name is in that square.

You may buy up to 5 squares per person.

I thought the point of squares was to pick a square with the numbers you want, not to be randomly assigned?

Numbers are ALWAYS randomly drawn. Otherwise who the hell would take the 5/9 9/5 squares? Or shit like that... Pick your squares and be at the mercy of the randomness of the draw. I'm already like $100 in on squares or I'd def hit you up Greg

Thats why you try and get in on squares early. It just seems like betting on the over under for a game and you just hand over your money and they randomly pick the over or under. (Now granted, there is no limit to who can pick what, but its kinda the same concept)

If there are no squares available with numbers that you want, then don't bet. Or you just develop a system where either the crappy squares are cheaper and/or pay out more.
