If not, take solace in the fact that there’s a first for everything. If they bite, you’ll have increased your expected cash total for the night by 11 cents. For the Super Bowl, the company has a 60-second ad starring Anna Kendrick, alongside Barbie, that will focus on Rocket Mortgage and sister realty brand, Rocket Homes. Just go find the person at your party who got 0-0 and offer them $7 to switch. Hurbis will only say that millions of people signed up for each of the first two squares pools, and that signups jumped 25 in Year 2.

If you’re assigned 5-5, don’t be discouraged. In nearly half of Super Bowls (27 out of 55), one of the winning squares has earned a second payout in the same game. If your square hits at the end of the first quarter, you should not only celebrate, but remain optimistic for the rest of the game. The same was strangely true for Tom Brady’s 10 Super Bowls, half of which were tied 0-0 after 15 minutes of play. In defense-oriented matchups, squares with a 0 are more valuable, as the chances of a scoreless first quarter are higher than usual. Assuming a $1 buy-in with a payout of $25 at the end of each quarter, the 2-2 square is worth a measly three pennies while the 0-0 square is worth a whopping $7.15. For instance, an early missed extra point in Super Bowl LII set off a domino effect that led to the first ever 9-3 win and the first ever 2-2 win, followed by a 9-6 and a 3-1 after halftime in what was the wackiest Super Bowl of all time from a squares perspective.Īnalyzing every NFL game since 2015, we find that the majority of squares (74 out of 100, to be exact) are a losing proposition, including all of those with a 2, 5, 8 or 9. Furthermore, since the NFL moved the extra point back 15 yards in 2015, there has been greater variety in scores due to more frequent chunks of six and eight points. That sample size, however, is too small to make exact conclusions about each square’s worth. Scores ending with a 5 have been tough to come by in Super Bowl history, with the entire row and column of possibilities yielding only 10 winners out of 220.

On the flip side, some squares have participants giving up before the game starts. That’s not surprising given that games start at 0-0 and the two most common scores in football, seven and three, add up to 10. Across 55 Super Bowls, there have been 220 quarterly payouts, and 100 of them have gone to squares with a 0. Some squares are vastly better than others.
