Is It Legal To Play Squares On The NFL?

Super Bowl squares are legal in most states, as they fall into the category of social gambling. While some states have certain limitations on the total prize amount a bettor can win, the majority of states only require that the buy-in prize is under a set amount (generally $50). There are some states that completely outlaw social gambling and NFL squares would be included in this. However, as this form of social gambling does not have “the house” taking a cut, the law is rarely, if ever, enforced.

Those looking to crack down on illegal gambling are looking for operators that are making money without paying their taxes. Breaking up a game of squares associated with a restaurant, office, or group of friends is extremely rare. In nearly every situation, the amount of money collected from the buy-ins is rewarded to the bettors who win at 100%. As nobody takes a cut (though some organizations do squares as a fundraiser), it is seen more like a lottery and raffle system as opposed to gambling.

How Does Super Bowl Squares Work?

There are a few different ways to play NFL squares but the idea is the exact same to start. Bettors are made aware of a per-square buy-in price ($1 for example). A bettor can purchase as many squares as they wish and they add their name in one of the 100 boxes on the 10 x 10 square. After the entire sheet is filled, a method to label each column and row with a number is formed. The methods range from pulling numbers out of a hat, using a number randomizer, or a handful of other methods. Once the rows and columns have their numbers in place, bettors have the first look at what their squares look like.

The idea behind Super Bowl squares is to have your numbers picked at the end of a quarter, half, or game. Some pools also score based on every point scored in the game, but the quarterly winnings are the most common method. Bettors win money by having their square in the position of both of the teams’ last digit of their point total. For example, the New Orleans Saints are playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Saints are leading 10-7 at the end of the first quarter. The NFL square operator would find the side of the grid associated with the Saints, use the column with the 0 and cross-match it with the other side of the grid associated with the Bucs. Only one winner can be associated with each cross-section, making the payouts quite rewarding.

In our $1 buy-in example, the total pot would be worth $100. Some Super Bowl square games break down each quarter evenly, giving up to four bettors $25 each. However, other games seem to give the winner of the final score the majority of the money, leaving the other $50 or so for the other bettors to share. The payout methods can be varied, but the idea is always the same – pick a spot, hope for “good football numbers”, and see if the score reflects the numbers associated with your square.

The Best And Worst Numbers To Have In Super Bowl Squares

Sports Betting On Super Bowl Picks

Though this style of wagering has no ability to be controlled, bettors can see the production of their numbers over the last few Super Bowls. Every player always has a superstition about certain numbers but the truth of the matter is, any number could be successful with the variety of scoring options in the NFL. That said, there are some clear positive outliers in terms of what numbers hit most often. Bettors should feel confident should they land on a 0, 3, or 7. These numbers are common scoring increase totals (or a lack of scoring) and are some of the bettors’ favorite numbers to see. This is pretty intuitive – NFL teams tend to score in increments of seven and three, and seven plus three is ten, which ends in zero.

When the square’s number is revealed, bettors who are on the 2, 5, 8, or 9 are given some of the worst opportunities to win. Though 2 (safety), 5 (two touchdowns with a PAT and 2-pt attempt), 8 (touchdown with 2-pt attempt), or 9 (three field goals) is possible, the likelihood of other scoring events interrupting this pattern is more likely. In reality though, once the Super Bowl score breaks past 20 points, any scoring method can cause obscure number endings. Super Bowl Squares tends to reward players at the end of each quarter so that there are multiple chances to win. Given this, there is a pretty decent amount of data regarding what the best numbers to have are. Based on the past 54 Super Bowls with four quarters each, the numbers most likely to hit are as follows.

• The number 7 appeared 81 times – 18.75%

Super Bowl LV Squares

Kansas City Chiefs

vs.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Super Bowl LV pits the Kansas City Chiefs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chiefs are favored in the matchup, but Squares bettors don’t have to worry about any of that, as squares is a game of chance. There are a ton of different Super Bowl Squares competitions to take part in as a Squares enthusiast.

For example, MyBookie has been running a squares competition all season, and Super Bowl LV should be the culmination of that. The 2021 Super Bowl will bring a ton of eyes to the sports betting websites, and that means that there are a lot of potential competitors in a squares competition, so good luck!

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Scuba divers or astronauts on the International Space Station may be the only humans who avoided a barrage of advertisements over the last two weeks enticing them to bet on the Super Bowl.

But the expensive, ubiquitous come-ons succeeded in driving new customers to many of the nation’s largest sportsbooks, boding well for the fast-growing legal sports betting industry in the U.S.

The gambling companies won’t reveal exactly how many new customers they gained in the run-up to Sunday’s Super Bowl, saying that is closely held proprietary information. But in general terms, they say the barrage of ads — many of which offered easy-to-win bets reserved for new players — succeeded in gaining them new customers they hope will continue to bet with them.

Larry Faller of Sterling Heights, Michigan, was among those bombarded with Super Bowl betting ads. He chose BetRivers.com, operated by Rush Street Interactive, which offered an eventual $500 match on his first $100 deposit.

“It seemed like a nice offer, so I took it,” said Faller, a 67-year-old retired newspaper pressman.

Signing up four hours before kickoff of the NFL’s title game, he used his money to place bets on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the Super Bowl outright and to beat a point spread. (Tampa Bay beat the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs 31-9.)

Richard Schwartz, president of Rush Street Interactive, said customer acquisition costs in the sports betting industry are expensive and likely to become more so as the industry grows. He said the company has seen “strong returns” on such spending, including its pre-Super Bowl push.

Keith Gormley, head of U.S. marketing for Tipico, agreed. His sportsbook originated in Europe and recently began taking bets in New Jersey and Colorado.

“This market is extremely competitive,” he said. “You’ve got dozens of sportsbooks and casino brands all spending across TV, radio, digital and sponsorships to attract the same customer. Expensive bonus promotions and mass advertising certainly work to get them in the door, but a great mobile product and customer care is what will keep them playing with your book long-term.”

Tipico matched initial deposits from new customers up to $750. Other sportsbooks offered similar matches.

Some offered near no-brainer bets — to new customers only — designed to be extremely easy to win, such as winning $100 if either team scored a touchdown, or wildly inflated odds that would pay $275 on a $5 bet.

The ads blanketed the airwaves on TV and radio and proliferated online, in print and on billboards, to the point where it was hard to avoid seeing multiple entreaties to bet on the big game.

“It was the most irritating thing,” said Eddie Trunk, a New Jersey radio personality with shows involving classic rock and heavy metal. “I have a large Twitter presence, and in my feed, every third or fourth tweet was an ad trying to get me to bet on the Super Bowl instead of being a message from someone I actually follow.”

FanDuel said it saw “a tremendous spike in new players” before the game.

“We invest heavily around the Super Bowl because it is our biggest single sporting event on the calendar to acquire new sportsbook customers,” spokesman Kevin Hennessy said. “It’s a day where the most number of people bet on sports, so there really is no bigger single event in the U.S.”

FanDuel paid out $17 million to new customers as part of a 55-to-1 odds promotion, and its app was the third-most downloaded from the Apple store on Sunday, behind only TikTok and Robinhood, Hennessy said.

Tipico said its new customer sign-ups increased by 120% in the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl and saw a 400% surge on game day.

“It was a monster weekend for us,” Gormley said.

It was a monster weekend for New Jersey, too. The state that won a U.S. Supreme Court case in 2018 clearing the way for any state to offer legal sports betting saw more than $117 million bet on this year’s Super Bowl. The 12 retail and 21 mobile sportsbooks kept $11.3 million of that as winnings.

The level of New Jersey betting on the Super Bowl was an increase of 116% over last year’s game.

Nevada took $136.1 million in bets on the game, down 12% from last year. Sportsbooks kept nearly $12.6 million.

Pennsylvania saw $53.6 million in bets, up 74% over last year. The books will keep about $9.4 million.
