Super Bowl Football Squares

[faquewdikhed]

My stepbrother REFUSES to believe that football squares are mathematically break even in the long run. His mindset is "I can't do anything but lose if I gamble". He considers himself an open minded person.

So, uh, they are break even in the long run right? If done properly. Can someone mathematically prove this?

I am thinking something along these lines

Expected Value = Your bet (which is your bet * number of squares purchased) / Total Squares purchased value.

This will obviously give you the exact same number as your odds of winning: squares purchased/total squares.
