Alternately, print off a football pool grid. These can be found doing an online search (look for “printable football grid” to find one) and can be printed off on an 8-1/2 inch x 11 inch (21. 5cm x 27. 9cm) piece of paper, consisting of 100 squares.
Pricing the squares: A usual price is $1. 00 per square, for a total pot of $100. 00. Paying out the pot: The most common way is to pay something at the end of each quarter. You can decide what percent of the pot will be paid out each time. For example, 25 percent after the 1st quarter, 25 percent after the 2nd quarter and so on until 100 percent of the pot is paid out. Large Super Bowl Pools cost can $100 per square,(for a total pot of $10,000) and pay $100 for every score change. For example, at the beginning of the game, the person with 0-0 gets $100.

You can pay $500 for the first three quarter scores, then pay the handsome balance to the person with the correct final score.
Choose somebody to draw one number at a time. As the numbers are drawn out, fill them in across the top, starting from left to right. Fold them back up and do the same for the left side, top to bottom. When finished, the numbers will be in random order across and down the grid.
