Superbowl IL (or XXXX) Pool

Well, the boxes have been filled and the money collected. But I have a question for true fans of the game in general. Do I have good numbers?
3-9
4-3
5-8
8-2
and
0-4
yes, I do like to gamble

I don’t know about your numbers, but based on the thread title I’d say you’re about 20 years too late.

My money’s on the Bears!

I’ll take Chicago and give you 35.5 points.

I’ll also take the over on 55.

After we’re done with this one, can we do the Superbowl XXX pool? I have some good inside leads on that one, too.

I’m assuming those are last digit by quarter?

If so, yeah, they look pretty good. Some easy combos might include:
3-9: 3-9, 13-9, 3-19, 13-19
4-3: 14-3, 14-13, 24-3, 24-13, 24-23
5-8: 15-18, 25-18, 35-18, 15-28, 15-38
8-2: 18-12, 28-12, 38-12, 18-22, 18-32, 18-42

What’s the 0-4?

I asked the MODS to change the thread

the grid is 10 boxes by 10 boxes - so there has to be a zero. for scoreless (most likely first qtr only) or 10, 20, 30 pts. Right?

y’all are too funny for words.

Still not quite there…unless you’re a fan of the other 30 teams, in which you are feeling a little ILL.

Actually, the Superbowl is being played in MI this year, not in IL.

IL is correct…for 2015. Someone needs to turn their calendar back nine years.

OH BOTHER

Mods: Please correct the roman numerals to read 40.

No - MI would be 1001 - which would be the year 2961

Barring any cancelations, MI would be in 2967.

And I think 0-4 is the best pair of numbers you have. 10-14, 20-14 are likely. You don’t see 2 or 8 very often.

(At least that’s what my common sense dictates. Has anyone actually analyzed the likelyhood of different numbers, based on real scores?)

Whoooosh

Bwhahahaha. MI = Michigan, IL = Illinois.

yeah - realized that a few hours later, when I actually read the post :o :smiley:

As of right now, there’s still an “IL” in the title, which would be 50-1=49, not 40.

I asked the mods again to change it. It’s been over 24 hours

Yes, but it’s the 5th pairing of numbers in a 4 quarter game. Is this an OT contingency?

Sorry if the answer’s obvious… I don’t do a lot of betting on games.

no - it’s a 10X10 grid and I bought 5 boxes
those sets are good for any quarter

So you’re not going to take my bet? Damn, I was sure that I was gonna win big on that one. :smiley:
