Office Superbowl Pool Suggestions
I need to put togather a Superbowl office pool. Does anyone have suggestions for games? I need a game that doesnt take that much skill, but could have a decent payout. People in the office will gamble if it sounds fun, but we havent had much responce to more skill games like pickem pools.
Only game I can think of is squares. Are there other games that you guys have enjoyed and I can find comprehensive rules on? Thanks

Squares is all I know of for office pools.
Edit: on the superbowl.

Re: Office Superbowl Pool Suggestions
Make a list of 10-20 different wagers. Some can be pre-game like the outcome of the coin toss or the over/under on how long the National Anthem will be. Others can be 1st half or 2nd half specific, like halftime lines at sports books. Assign points to each side and have players pick 5-10 wagers. This way, you can slightly skew the numbers and people will pick wagers that they think they had an edge on. For example, last year "Paul McCartney Wardrobe Malfunction" gave 1 point for YES, 100 points for NO, obviously it was very unlikely to occur.
Winner is the one with the most points at the end.

It's fun and it usually comes close to washing out in the end... I think I lost $80 last year... Our list has things like first fumble, first int, first FG, TD, Sack, etc... It's pure luck, but fun [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Something like this could be turned into an office game... EDIT: I think we had about 30 different bets last year...

First penalty, first commercial, etc. We would come up with a list of about 30 "firsts" or questions and have everyone fill it out prior to the game. Each question can be worth money or pay the top few with the most questions correct. Put your own twist on it and have fun with it. You could even have it reset each quarter.
