Okay, Into the Pool

I should very much like the Arizona Cardinals' score to end in 0 and the Pittsburgh Steelers' score to end in 1 at the end of the first quarter of the Super Bowl and for the score to stay just like that for the rest of the game. But given that I won $200 (off the final score) of one of the playoff games, I think it's probably asking too much for lightning to strike again.

Note that said score preference has nothing to do with who wins. Arizona 30-Steelers 21 wins me just as much as Arizona 10-Steelers 21 does.

Hmmm. 0 is not so difficult, 0 ans 10 being fairly reasonable choices for the birds at then end of one quarter. 1 is harder, the combos don't really get common till 21. Steelers might be able to do that, but methinks 'tis a long shot. Good luck.

That it be the score at the end of any quarter, particularly the final one, would be good, because the pool is split 20% each for the score at the end of the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/Final quarters.

I'm sure you could get MUCH better odds on the final score being 1-0, since (AFAIK) that would require the Cardinals forfeiting. I think that should a team choose to forfeit the Super Bowl it would mark the end of the team, the game or possibly the whole league.

Unlike the Canadian Football League, where a non-forfeited score of 1-0 is actually possible. (I seem to remember reading that it did happen once, although given the nature of the game, it's quite unlikely.) Lucky for me the pool is only on the last digit of the scores, not the total.
