Do any of you
 

play any of the Super Bowl side bets? They had odds in the racing form today for a whole bunch of different things.

i have played them as a parlay, but the record keeping throughout the game is way too much to keep track of.

i've made a number of complicated wager's all keyed into "tails" on the coin flip.

i'd go into details but unless you understand goedel's second incompleteness theorem and roessler attractor's it won't make any sense.





































actually, i just like tails.

How much money I've invested in Super Bowl squares.....over/under $40

Holy sh it someone else
has heard of or read stuff
about kurt Goedel...

Nerds exist on this board.

Someone must have made a sizeable bet on the coin toss landing on tails.

At Pinnacle; heads is -102 while tails has been bet down to -104

Clearly a trap - as the linemakers are just baiting you towards betting on heads.

That reminds me of my favorite bookmaker lament.....

After the Superbowl in the early 80s when the Raiders crushed the absurdly favored Redskins, I was talking to a friend of mine, who's also a bookmaker, and I asked him how he did on the game. He said " You know, I honestly expect to lose money on the Super Bowl every year, and that's OK, but how did everyone know the Coin Flip was gonna be heads? "

I will have all of that and more invested. I also put one in the mail room at our school. You know, real easy $2 bucks a square, 100 squares. Do you know how incredibly tough it is to get some teachers to buy a few squares?
I mean after all it is $4 to buy two sqaures. Thank goodness for the cafeteria ladies, custodians and the office workers, otherwise it would never get filled.

As of this post, got 8 left on two $5.00 boards.....those "county" employees just love to gamble, even though we don't earn a lot! ;)

I think you are on to something Cardus. Afterall I do Punnett Squares when I teach about traits, so why not Super Bowl Squares.

Soxfan,
Use two numbers per square. You only need to sell 25 blocks so you can raise the per block cost.

You make a grid with five boxes across and five boxes down. Each block has 2#.
This is the only way we could get a weekly poll going in a smaller office. The odds you get 2 crappy #'s in a block is greatly reduced which cuts down on the cronic bitching.

Good Idea King! Thanks.
