Super Bowl Box Pool Fundraiser

In the spirit of the big game on Sunday, I’m starting a Super Bowl Box Pool to make it more interesting since the Giants basically blew it this year. Despite my frustrations with Plaxico, I figure I could make something good out of this football game by using it for a fundraiser where 70% of all proceeds will be paid out to the winners of the Super Bowl Box Pool, and the remaining 30% will be donated to the Cancer Research Foundation. If you're not around, I can randomly choose a box for you and you can pay me via Paypal.





How Many Boxes?





I will be accepting bets until noon on Super Bowl Sunday or until all the boxes are sold. Once the boxes are set and the numbers are randomly chosen, I will post the final table on this website for all of you to check out during the game. Please feel free to forward this link to anyone else that might be interested! The pay out will be as follows:

Halftime Score Winner: $200
Final Score Winner: $500
Amount donated to Charity: $300

For those that don't know, here’s how it works:

1. Each player donates $10 per box.
2. Each box corresponds with 2 numbers (1 for each team). The order of these numbers will be randomly drawn once all boxes are purchased.
3. If the one’s digit of the
halftime score from each team matches your two numbers, you will win $200.
4. If the one’s digit of the
final score from each team matches your two numbers, you will win $500.
5. In the example below, a score of Arizona 13, Pittsburgh 26, would mean the owner of the square where the 3 on the horizontal axis meets the 6 on the vertical axis is the winner. See image below. Note: This will not be the actual order of the numbers.
