I love games of skill
Alas, this is not one of them. Pick up to five squares. Use the letters to pick them. I'll do a random drawing to apply the numbers 0-9 when the thing is full up. $2 per square. The split will be $20 each for the first three quarters, and $40 for the final. We'll talk later about how we'll handle the wagering. Paypal, probably. This is only for known people. And please limit your participation to just one of your pseudonyms.
And, for those of you who were too busy cavorting with the undead to participate in previous Super Bowl pools, here's the deal:
This is a no skill pool, completely based on the last digit of each team's score.
Once the squares are full, we'll randomly replace the letters on both the top and the side with the numbers 0-9. So, you will get number combinations, one number each for each team.
Let's take one of Nick's squares for example. Imagine that, after the random drawing, the square he has now at iB has these numbers assigned: 0 for Seattle and 4 for Pittsburgh. He would win any quarter where the Seahawks score ends in a zero, and Steelers score ends in a 4. So, he could win with a score of Seahawks: 0, Steelers: 14; or Seahawks 20, Steelers: 14. It doesn't matter who is winning, just the last digit.

Hey! I once won $1000 in a real football pool, where you had to pick real teams and real scores and everything.
I'm glad you liked the vampire story though. You're such a cutie.

My years of pig-latin study are about to pay off!
12:33 AM
Brooke, why don't you put your money where your mouth is, huh?
9:16 AM
Mr. Dreysdale,
I've inverted your picks.
Ea was already taken.
So I went vertical instead of horizontal. If you win, you will (as a matter of course) be disqualified.
Cheers.

OH, and if I have somehow picked squares that someone else picked, screw them I get 'em.
Just do it, I'll send you pics I took of Ubie whilst she slept.
10:52 PM
Mel - no blood was spilled. Keep the Ubie blackmail pictures safely tucked away. We might need them in the future as a failsafe.
Nick - I am so happy you didn't say "Put your mouth where my money is."
Reverend - With God on your side, anything is probable.
Rewhatever - .......lurker......
12:02 AM
Why are these people only taking 3 or 4 squares? They are statistically increasing my odds of winning.
If I had thought to say that, Sysm, I would have. Damn my human brain.
12:32 PM
Fine! I'll also buy Bg, Cf, De, and Fc. Pay the man, Dilf.
7:27 PM
I'm going to give other people a bit more time. If there are any open, I'll put you guys in at random.
7:28 PM
Bob - so sorry about the loss of your battleship.
9:51 AM
is it too late to play?
i'll take any five squares you please. why not?
(likes to gamble)
4:39 PM
Sign Brooke up to, on me.
4:59 PM
Getting there. Six more people and we'll be full.
12:19 AM
too. Jesus, you'd think I went to school in Canada or something.
6:02 AM
Hey, I'm on there!
Ooooooh...Nick ..you signed me up. Just for that you get to spank me in April.
12:12 PM
Damn. I've been discovered.
