at the super bowl party I attended this year there was no structured pool. Instead, there were a series of micro bets placed for $1-$5 units on a range of scenarios with point spread or odds set in real time. It was a really fun way to keep a lot of action going. This is the complete list of bets placed… some were pretty funny:
- Winner of Game (with 12 pt spread)
- 1st Team to score
- Yards on NY 1st possession over/under=43
- NE 3rd down conversion with :25 remaining in 1st Quarter
- NE 2nd down on 1 yard line in 2nd Q, score or no score
- Yards on NY 2nd possession over/under=43
- NY will score on 3rd position, yes or no
- At 7:24 remaining in 2nd Q, NE will convert 3rd & 17, yes or no
- Randy Moss height, over/under=6’3”
- Terrell Owens height, over/under=6’3”
- Tom Petty’s age, over/under=58
- At 13:48 remaining in 3rd Q, NE will score on current drive, yes or no
- Tom Brady’s age, over/under=31
- Carmen Electra’s age, over/under=33
- At 1:05 remaining, pick winner of the game
