[CBFF] Another question

You can also, if you do not have enough people, cut the squares in half
and double the numbers per square.

If you only have ten people, you can play lines.
Draw ten lines, everyone pitches in 1-100 bucks(your calls), and after
everyone picks a line, you use a deck of cards and assign a number to
each line. The total score added together would represent the winning
line number. If the score is 14-3 at the end of a quarter, the winning
number would be 7. Than depending on how much you charge for the lines,
you can payout by quarter, half, final, or all.


Actually I have always seen it done just like that- except the  
squares are blank. Then AFTER everyone picks squares, you can pick  
numbers 0-9 out of a hat, and put them down the axis. Do it for both  
axis, that way it is random, otherwise when the "good" numbers are  
all gone, you will have a hard time filling the entire square. Some  
numbers are just more likely than others, and people will pick those  
right of the bat. And the persons number for the square, say it is 3  
and 7, is the final digit in the score, so a score of 23-17 would  
make it a winner, but also 3-7 would be a winner. You can divide it  
up and do it for each quarter if you want, or just the final score.  
And the winnings all depend on how much you charge per square- $1,  
$5, whatever.
