Default How does this work? [Super Bowl gambling]

A guy from my work came up to me with a sheet of paper that had a bunch of squares on it. People were writing their names in the squares for a chance to win all the money collected. I did the same but I have no clue how it works.. He also mentioned something about using a deck of cards to determain the score..

Anyone know how this works?

Yea....I did it too....I also had no idea how it worked when I signed up. But the pot is big here, so I figured, 'What the hell....'.

how it works...or at least how all the ones ive seen work is like so....
say on going across the top is the panthers with 0 thru 9 in random order underneath, and the patriots down the side 0-9 in random order. you take the last digit in the score for each team and line it up. say at halftime the patriots are winning 24-7 (which will most likely be the case :naughty: ) you'd line up the 4 from the patriots side and the 7 from the panthers side and whoever has the block where they intersect is in the money. :wiggle:

hope that helps
