One of the most popular times for betting is during the Super Bowl. Whether you’re a fan or not, people around the country are trying to predict who will win and place bets with their friends and family members on the super bowl betting grid.
If you have been looking for an opportunity to create your own super bowl betting grid, this article has some great tips for you.
Steps to creating your super bowl betting grid include:
1. Number of People Participating in the Bet
Before you can even begin to create your betting chart, you need to determine how many people will be participating. This will assist you in determining the size of your chart and what type of wagers you can place.
Using dollar bills is probably the easiest way to go for a small bet with just a few friends. However, if you are thinking about betting with a larger group, you may consider using chips or another type of marker.
For example, if there are 20 people involved in the bet and each person is only willing to contribute 20 dollars, your chart will have 40 sections. However, if someone decides they do not want to participate in the bet at the last minute, you can easily adjust the super bowl betting grid.
How much do you want to bet?
Before making an absolute decision about what type of chart to use, you must consider the amount of money being wagered. If there is going to be a large sum on each section, using chips will generally yield better results than dollar bills.
In addition, if your betting pool is made up of people who are used to playing poker, using chips will make them feel more at home.
On the other hand, if you are only planning on betting a few dollars per section, or there will be multiple bets that need to be placed in each section (i.e., the total number of yards by both teams), dollar bills will work just fine.
Create a Grid Paper
Once you have decided how many people are participating and the amount of money on the bet per section, it is time to create your super bowl betting grid.
Create a grid on paper with both teams’ logos or names across from each other (i.e., Team A versus Team B). Then make another column for every possible outcome of who wins and how much is wagered on that outcome.
To do this, first, draw a grid paper with the number of sections equal to the total wager minus one. For example, if there will be 100 dollars wagered in each section, but one person is not betting, the chart will have 99 sections.
In each section, write the name of one of the teams playing in the Super Bowl. If you are using dollar bills or chips, it might be helpful to draw a small picture of the team’s helmet next to their name.
Now that your grid paper is complete, it’s time to determine the winner. To do this, layout all of the dollar bills or chips in each section so that they correspond with who you think will win.
Once you have finished laying everything out on the grid paper, count how many sections are won by one team and compare them with your opponent. Whichever side has the most sections is the winner.
For example
If Team A has won 15 of the first 99 sections and Team B only has 14 winning sections, then Team A will win that bet. However, if it’s a tie with 47 to 47 or one team wins 51 but loses 48 compared to their opponent who wins 48 but loses 51, then the bet is a push, and no one wins or loses anything.
If you are using chips, it may be helpful to place a small marker (e.g., poker chip, bead, etc.) on the team’s section that has won to keep track of everything.
Final words
Now that your super bowl betting grid is complete, it’s time to place the bets and win some money. Good luck with all of your bets this year, and make sure to come back next year for another chance at victory.
