SBR Super Bowl Contest Ideas

[SBR Lou]

What would you guys like to see, another squares pool like last year, etc- something different?

All suggestions and feedback desired.

[pokernut9999]

squares were good .

[SBR Lou]

squares were good .

Yeah, other than the fact that my numbers were putrid, it was fun and seemed to be well enjoyed.

[HedgeHog]

How about a pick the SB winner contest? No max guesses.

I'll take:

1) Balt
2) Tenn
3) SD
4) Pitt
5) Ariz
6) Car
7) Philly
8) NYG

I wasn't around last year but saw that contest and thought it seemed cool

Random contest that gives you something else to root for during game is fun

[onthewhat]

Or maybe get someone sharp like Justin7 to make up 20 prop bets and assign odds and we have so many units to use and have to make a certain number of bets.

squares pool

Square pool.

[tacomax]

What about a team contest to win the most units with stale lines and unlimited bets? Sounds like a sure-fire winner to me.

We just did that. I have a blog congratulating the winning team.

Anyway, are you for the Squares Pool too?

I don't speak for Tacomax, but what I think he meant was "How will you Fuk up this contest"?

[Dark Horse]

Predict the score, with a total yards kind of tie breaker.

[SBR Lou]

Thanks guys.

great idea

[pico]

let's all pick whether the coin flip will be head or tail.
if the first play is a run or a pass
if the first pass is complete or incomplete
if the first run has positive yards
if the first fg comes before first punt

make 40-50 prop bets like this and see who win the most

[pico]

afl or nfl will recieve the first penalty
if there is a knee before the end of the game
will a team reach 1 yrd line

[pico]

which comes first? fumble or interception
will a team get a 1st down on the 1st drive

[pico]

will there be someone carted off the field in the 1st q...2nd q....3rd q...4th q
first injury offensive player or defensive player

[pico]

will the football touch the goal post during any fg or extra pt

[smitch124]

Post all the spreads and props for the Super Bowl, let each contestant bet the board with a given bankroll amount. Then whoever is left with the biggest bankroll(s) is the winner...

[SR]

I'm all for some kind of cappin contest but we should definetly have a Squares game. Squares are always fun after your "LOCK" spread pick is already garbage after the first quarter, and you are only rooting for there to somehow be a 2 as the second number of Pitsburghs score....

[Chi_archie]

afl or nfl will recieve the first penalty
if there is a knee before the end of the game
will a team reach 1 yrd line

give me NFL gets the first penalty for $100,000

[konck]

How about 12 picks on a parlay card something like
1) first 1st down rushing or passing
2)longest TD over 38yds
3) there will be a safety-blocked kick-def td (yes-no)
4)etc
Just some thoughts maybe we can get enough things to last most of the game

[konck]

gotta iclude the coin flip and first song at half time

[daggerkobe]

3. What color will the Gatorade be that's dumped on winning coach: Red -120 Blue -120 Yellow -120 White -120 Other -120
4. Which team's cheerleader will get the first close up? Teams A -120 Team B -120
5. Will they show a fan with his shirt off during the game? Yes -140 No +120
6. Will the halftime show have a major snafu (exposed , mic problems, etc.) Yes +110 No -130
7. Will the winning coach be carried off the field by the players? Yes -125 No +110
8. Which player(s) will be featured in the Disneyland commercial?

[onthewhat]

These are great. Oh...and technically Bush is really closer to "retiring" than being fired considering he's had 2 terms. That's a lot of Bush.

[shantystar]

sound good if squares.

[pavyracer]

Sharps pool for me it's a better idea than squares pool.

[Poker_Beast]

Like the squares, maybe a couple of sheets with all of the posters here.

[SportsLockPicks]

squares are always fun...besides, i'm sure we'll all have enough on the game moneywise

[SportsLockPicks]

how does it work? i mean, i know how the format is, but do we pay? is it free? limits on players...how soon can we solidify a square?
