Good football pool for small group

[TwingleMum]

We have 3 young boys (8,6,6) and they are all excited about the Super Bowl, even though NY isn't in it. They are very excited about doing a pool. But since there is only 5 of us I came up with an easy fun pool for them. $2 a quarter, $5 for the half and $10 or $20 (haven't decided ) final score.

This is how I'll do it. Everyone gets a number from 0-9. The scores are then added to make a single digit. The person with that number wins. For example if the quarter score is 3-0, then the person with 3 wins $2. At the half if the score is 7- 7 ( then 7+7 = 14. so you go by last digit 4 wins.)

I have also seen where with scores like 7-7 for example you can 1). give it to the person with 7. or 2). 7 + 7 = 14. 1+ 4 = 5 person with 5 wins.

Just thought I'd share the idea so if you didn't get in a pool or only have a few people you can still have fun. I'm giving the kids 2 numbers and DH & I will share a number .


Have fun with your families & friends.

We do a similar pool with our family. We don't really care who wins this year but the kids are VERY interested in winning the family pool. I think since my guys are now 12 and 14, we'll let them put some of their own money into the family pot so they have some skin in the game.

This is the first time in a few years that we'll have a large group so we're having a big pool again

But the last few years when we've only had 5 or 6 people we just had everyone predict the score. For each dollar they payed they could predict a score. So we didn't actually do a pool but this worked fine, most years someone actually predicted the correct score
