Super Bowl Squares Calculator
Enter the price per square and pick a payout split. The calculator totals the 100-square pool and shows what each quarter winner collects - including the final-score payout under the classic 10/30/40/20 format.
The format that keeps friendships: draw numbers only after every square is sold, pay out everything - the house cut is what turns a game into a grudge - and remember that 0, 3, 4 and 7 win quarters far more than lucky 2 or 5, because football scoring does arithmetic in field goals and touchdowns.
How to use
- Set the square price - 25 dollars makes a 2,500 pool.
- Pick the payout split; the final quarter usually weighs most.
- Draw numbers after the grid fills, never before.
Frequently asked questions
How do Super Bowl squares payouts work?
The 100-square pool pays four winners - one per quarter under your chosen split. The classic format pays 10/30/40/20, weighting the final score; even 25s across the quarters keeps every score change exciting.
What are the best numbers in a squares pool?
0, 7, 3 and 4 dominate, in that order - football scores move in sevens and threes, so squares ending in those digits hit quarters far more often. A 2-2 square is a lottery ticket; 0-0 is practically an investment.
When should numbers be drawn for squares?
After every square is sold. Drawing numbers first lets people buy the good combinations and turns a fun pool into a race - the redraw-after-fill convention is what keeps it fair.
Should the pool organizer keep a cut?
No - the standard format pays out the entire pool. The organizer keeps their full square like everyone else; a house cut is the fastest way to run the last squares pool your group ever does.
