    Price to be paid only for the received and full boxes. If there is an agreement before the deal, it is better to go accordingly.

    The numbers should go in a random order after everyone has chosen their squares to randomize it.

    Try to have all the squares filled before the game starts. If that does happen, then nobody wins.

    I don't think that doing that makes sense because you could only win for the quarter you're in. Instead, try having 2 grids.

    Definitely! It is just a common thing to do it with the Super Bowl. It could also work for basketball or other high scoring sports.
  • Question

    It doesn't really matter which team is on the top or on the side. If want, you can put the away team on the top.
  • Question

    No. If the Dolphins had 3 and the Panthers had 0, whoever had 3 on the Dolphins' side and 0 on the Panthers' side would win.

    If you do a 5x5 square, write 2 numbers in each box instead of just 1. Or, have people buy more than 1 square.

    You could play online. Use an Excel document or a table. Or, carve it into a wooden board or Styrofoam piece.

    Yes. You do keep your square for all quarters of the football game. It is also possible for the same square to win multiple times.

    For this activity, all you need is a grid of dots, a pencil and your brain. Let us discover how many squares you can make on different grids: So, let's try drawing in some squares and count how many: 1 by 1. That seems to be easy too. There are four of them, aren't there? Squares 4. Now you can start to fill in a table.
  • Question
    What if a game goes into overtime?

    In sports betting, overtime generally counts unless stated otherwise. Moneyline: Overtime is included, and the final result after OT determines the winner. Point Spread: OT is factored into the final score for spread calculations. Over/Under: Points in overtime count toward the total. Prop Bets: Player and game props typically include overtime unless otherwise specified. Always check the sportsbook’s rules for specific markets, as some may exclude overtime.
