I assume that if I don't like some of my squares, that doesn't make them incorrect. :-)

I got one of the "dreaded" 5 8's ....how does that ever happen Need crazy s#$@ to happen Fumbles,touch backs,missed extra points...come on baby lol!



PS..sorry for the shortening of names (grids a work in progress...will make the grid larger and the boxes bigger next year so I can get soundsofsaratoga into one box      )

If I recall, I believe I posted in last year's thread an article highlighting the best squares and their probability of winning.

I don't think 5-8 (eye), 4-9 (me), or 5-2 (turf) were on the list of high probability squares

jolyb posted this link last year:


'TC is correct that different boxes have very different chances of success. The 0-0 box seems the best. My draw of 1-2 is very weak.

Thanks for digging that up, Tom. Here is a more recent article:

www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/super-bowl-squares-numbers-grid-best-numbers/savmtdeuze4g7q7kmvmj5ldx

There have been a total of 220 winning number combinations in Super Bowl history (which is a limited sample size), but here's how those combinations have hit by quarter. The home team is on the horizontal access and the road team is on the vertical axis. (see article for details)

For reference, in the game between the Buccaneers and Chiefs last season the winning combos were 7-0, 1-6, 1-9 and 1-9.

In the history of the Super Bowl, the four best combinations have been 0-0 (19 times), 0-3 (11 times), 0-7 (11 times) and 7-0 (10 times).

okay so these are my 5 boxes in this year's pool:

bengals 6 rams 1 (historical results suggest 1/220 chance)
bengals 0 rams 2 (historical results suggest 0/220 chance)
bengals 6 rams 6 (historical results suggest 3/220 chance)
bengals 4 rams 9 (historical results suggest 1/220 chance)
bengals 9 rams 0 (historical results suggest 5/220 chance)

see article from sporting news in previous post to calculate your box's odds of winning.

I got the best numbers I think I ever have and I've been doing squares pools forever. For those with "bad" numbers though, our format which is greatly tilted toward payoff for the final score, instead of equal splits by quarter, does help you, as more scoring brings more possibilities into account (e.g. 35-28). The other thing is that the Rams FG kicker has missed a few extra points this year, which can lead to different scores, e.g. miss XP then go for 2 to make up for it and don't make that etc.

Pony Girl...Most think that I got that nickname from the Little Rascals character but actually I got it because in Jr High I skipped class so much that the vice principle called me to the office nearly daily. He finally told me he was tired of giving me swats. A gal then gave me that Spanky nickname and it stuck! I did happen to look like that Spanky at that age...lol..
