Interested in joining our Squares Pool? Here’s how it works. For $75 you get one square.  Log into our pool website and pick your favorite square on the grid (like bingo) before the first game.  That will be your square for every week of the season. Here is an example of the first week grid: Now just sit back and enjoy Monday Night Football.  Once the season starts and everyone has chosen their squares, the bingo grid will be randomly filled in with the score numbers along the top and side of the grid to replace the question marks.  You can log in to see the score for your square. Here is an example: At the end of the game, let’s say these are the scores at each quarter, just for fun: Q1: 4-9 Rams – Amber wins $25! Q2: 2-6 Rams – Raider Fan wins $50 Q3: 1-9 Rams – Aracelia wins $50! Q4: 9-8 49ers – Team DeafHope wins $75! For more chances to win, buy more squares!
