Super Bowl 44 prep
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and for many of us, nothing else matters today. If you are not one of the die hards, however, you will still end up at a Super Bowl party, so you’d better know a few things. Dinner Topics is here to make sure you know what’s going on around you when the game starts and one person is going crazy after the first field goal, starting with a couple common gambling options at Super Bowl parties.
Squares
If you invest in a “square” today, that means you will get a number for the Saints and a number for the Colts. Those numbers represent the last number in their score. For example, if you have a 4 for the Saints and a 7 for the Colts, then you’re hoping for a final score of something like Colts 27, Saints 24. Payouts differ depending on who is running it, but in general, you will win something if your numbers are the correct ones at the end of any quarter. Some people also pay out for any change in score or sometimes if your square is touching the square of someone that wins. Ask the person running the game, and at least you’ll have something to root for.

Strip Card
This game is even easier: only ten people play and each gets a random number between 0 through 9 (from an official “strip card” or playing cards or simply drawing numbers from a hat). If your number is the last number in the combined total score at the end of the game, you win. Sometimes there’s also a payout for getting the halftime score as well. Example: if you get a 4 and the final score is 21-13, you win because the total is 34.
