Pointspread & Over/Under Wagers
gtbets.ag is proud to offer pointspread and over/under betting on American Football to our online members. On a pointspread wager, the team wagered must win by the pointspread. On an over/under wager, the total points of the contest by both teams, overtime included, must fall over or under the side selected.
ExampleThe posted line is San Francisco -5 at St. Louis +5 and the over/under total is 41.
The odds are $1.10 to win $1.00 (-110) unless otherwise indicated.
For the player who wagers on San Francisco -5, they must win by more than 5 points for this to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers on St. Louis +5, they must either win the game, or lose by less than 5 points for this to be a winning wager. If the outcome falls on the number, either way, the bet is declared a 'Push', and the original stake is refunded.
For the player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to be 'Over' 41, the combined final score of both teams must exceed 41. For the player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to be 'Under' 41, the combined final score of both teams must be less than 41. If the outcome falls on the number, the bet is declared a 'Push', and the original stake is refunded.
Pointspread and Over/Under lines will be offered on all NFL, AFL and NCAA contests.
All wagers on the side & total will include all overtime scoring.
Halftime Wagers
gtbets.ag is proud to offer halftime wagering on American Football to our online members. Halftime wagering is simply a wager only on the score of the first, or second half of a contest. The line offered will be a pointspread, a moneyline, or a combination of the two, but the wager applies only to the score of the halftime period specified.
- First half lines will be offered on all NFL and NCAA contests, and will be released mid-week, allowing ample time to get action on these events.
- Second half lines will be offered on all NFL and the majority of NCAA contests, and will be offered within
- 5 minutes of the end of the first half of the contest.
- Wagers may be parlayed to other contests, but a first half wager may not be parlayed to any other wager from the same game.
- No teaser plays or buying of points is allowed on Halftime Wagers.
- Overtime periods are included as part of the second half.
- The full half (first or second) must be played for action.
Quarter Wagers
gtbets.ag is proud to offer wagering on individual quarters of selected contests on American Football to our online members. Wagering on quarters is simply a wager only on the score of the first, second, third or fourth quarter of a contest. These lines will be offered on marquee events, such as Monday Night Football, Sunday night games, and Bowl games. The line offered will be a pointspread, a moneyline, or a combination of the two, but the wager applies only to the score of the quarter specified.
- Quarter lines will be released the day of the game, allowing ample time to get action on these events.
- All quarter lines will come down at kickoff.
- Wagers may be parlayed to other contests, but a quarter wager may not be parlayed to any other wager from the same game.
- Overtime scoring is not included in Fourth Quarter wagers.
Moneyline Wagers
gtbets.ag is proud to offer moneyline wagering on American Football to our online members. Moneyline Wagering is simply wagering on the contest based on a given price rather than a pointspread. The team wagered on just has to win the game.
ExampleA player could choose one of two wagers on the following matchup: San Francisco -200 at St. Louis +180. If San Francisco wins then the player laid $200.00 to win $100.00. If St. Louis wins then the player who bet $100.00 wins $180.00.
- Moneylines will be offered on most NFL and NCAA contests, and will normally be available on the morning of the game.
- Moneyline wagers may be parlayed to other contests, but a moneyline wager may not be parlayed to any other wager from the same game.
Point Buying
gtbets.ag is proud to offer Point Buys. This is a method of allowing the bettor to improve the pointspread of a football contest by actually 'buying points' for the team he/she wants to wager, side or total. Bettors can buy points in 1/2 point increments up to 3 points, depending on the contest. Each 1/2 point costs the bettor an additional 10% vigorish.
ExampleThe Denver Broncos are playing the Kansas City Chiefs, and the line on the game is the Broncos -4 1/2, with a total of 42. If a $100 wager is placed on the Broncos -4 1/2 with a 1/2 point buy, the player has a wager on the Broncos -4 points, and must put up $120 to win $100, instead of the usual $110 to win $100. If the player, for example, requests a full 1 point buy to move the pointspread down to -3 1/2, he/she would have to put up $130 to win $100. Buying the pointspread down 1 1/2 points to 3 would cost $150 to win $100, and the full 3 point buy down to -1 1/2 would cost the bettor $200 to win $100.
Pointspread | ||
---|---|---|
BRONCOS -4.5 | -110 | |
Bought 0.5 | ||
BRONCOS -4 | -120 | Additional 10 % |
Bought 0.5 | ||
BRONCOS -3.5 | -130 | Additional 10 % |

BRONCOS -2 | -185 | Additional 15 % |

BRONCOS -1.5 | -200 | Additional 15 % |
Conversely, the bettor may also buy points on the Chiefs side, and get the line at plus 5, 5 1/2 or 6 points, all the way up to plus 7 1/2 points with the same increase in vigorish.
Bettors may also buy points for football totals. In this particular game, bettors could buy an 'over' wager with a maximum line move down to 39, or an 'under' wager with a maximum line move up to 45.
- Point Buying to a maximum of 3 points will be offered on all NFL contests. First 2 points will be charged an additional 10% vigorish and 2 ½ and 3 will be charged an additional 15% vigorish.
- Bettors will be charged an additional 10% vigorish to buy on, and/or off of the number 3 in the NFL.
- Point Buying will not be offered on halftime, quarter or moneyline wagers.
Point Selling
gtbets.ag is proud to offer point sells. This is a method of allowing the bettor to improve the moneyline in conjunction with the point spread. If you have a strong feeling lay an extra point, get a better price and make even more money. Bettors can sell points in 1/2 point increments, up to 1 point, depending on the contest. Varying vigorish is rewarded for every 1/2 point sold.
Proposition Wagers
gtbets.ag offers a wide variety of proposition wagers. Because these wagers deserve special explanation, we have dedicated an entire section for this. Please click the link at the top of this window labeled 'Props' for complete details.

If you’re a football fan, if your friends follow the NFL, or if you work in an office, chances are you’ve heard of a football pool.
A football pool using “squares,” typically a 10 x 10 grid, is an easy way to get a group of people to bet on a football game using a random assignment of numbers to names to find out who wins the pot for every quarter.
Unlike other types of sports bets, you don’t need to be an economist or calculate odds or know anything about the teams (or even the sport) to win.
This is a luck-based system, not a skill-based approach, and it’s designed to make a football game more fun and interesting, with some real money on the line.
Football squares pools, are especially popular for the Super Bowl. If you’ve never played before, or want to learn more, here’s our guide on how to play Super Bowl squares.
What Are Football Squares?
Football squares, also known as a football pool or football boxes, is a way of placing bets for a group of people using a basic X-Y axis (remember algebra?) Players enter their names (usually initials) into as many squares as they wish to buy into.
Each square represents a score. At the end of each quarter, the person on the square that corresponds to the score at that time is given his or her share of the prize money.
When playing Super Bowl squares, the winner of each quarter of the big game is typically given a quarter of the money paid into the pool.
The grid used to set up a squares game looks complicated but is actually quite simple to grasp once you get the hang of it. Here’s an example of one.
Essentially, the pool pays out each quarter based on the last digit of the score of each team. For instance, if the score is 17-13, the winner would be the person on the 7-3 square.
How to Set Up Your Super Bowl Squares Grid
Create a grid ten boxes high and ten boxes wide. This will give you 100 boxes, which means you can potentially have 100 people participating in this pool, although usually far fewer people are used.
Football Betting Odds
Over the top of your grid, write the name of one of the teams competing in the Super Bowl.
Vertically, along the left-hand side of the grid, write the name of the other team.
Although the Super Bowl boxes layout is called a ten by ten, you do need room to write the numbers 0-9 along the top columns, one number for each column, and along the vertical left-hand side of the chart as well.
Here’s how the grids looks once the numbers are filled in.
You can choose not to enter the numbers before people pick their squares, and add them in a random order later instead. This is if you don’t want people to know what scores they are assigning themselves to.
Does the Grid Have to Be 10 x 10?
For the standard version of Super Bowl squares rules, yes. The football pool uses only the last digit of a score (for instance, if the score is Team A – 12, Team B – 15, then the grid would be followed to find out who is at the intersection of Team A – 2 and Team B – 5.
Since the ending numbers of any given score can range from between zero and nine, which includes 10 number options total, there must be 10 squares on each side of the chart.
How Many People Are Needed to Play Super Bowl Squares?
You can create a football pool using this squares method using as few as two people and as many as 100. The fewer people are involved, the more squares they can buy.
If there are 100 people, each person would be able to choose one square. Fifty participants would be able to choose two squares each, and 25 people could have four squares apiece.
However, some people may only wish to buy into one square, while others wish to buy into multiples.
You can limit the number of squares available to each participant until all players have had a chance to buy squares. You can then sell the extra squares to players who wish to play more squares to increase their chances of winning.
If you are playing with an actual sheet of paper, hand the grid around before the numbers are assigned across the top and down the left side.
If you are playing electronically, there are automatic pool fill apps that can scatter the names/initials equally across the board.
What If Squares in the Super Bowl Squares Grid Are Empty?
You may have empty squares on your board. Either only a few people are playing, or there simply wasn’t anyone who wanted that particular square. This is not uncommon.
If the score lands on a space where no one has their name, you can add that money to the prize for the next quarter. Thus, the winner of the next quarter will receive a double payout.
This is entirely up to you and the other participants. A standard buy-in is $5 per square, but it can go as low as $1 per square and as high as you want.
The more people who participate, the higher the energy, and the more fun the squares game is. So you may want to consider a buy-in that will allow as many people as possible to participate.
Yes, players will write their initials in on the squares they choose, but since the numbers along the top and left side of the grid can be entered later, the placement of the names in the squares doesn’t have to be relevant. It just depends on how you want to play.
In the example Super Bowl squares template above, the numbers were in order from 0-9. You can choose to mix the numbers up, though.
For instance, across the top ten squares, in which you will write the digits 0-9, you may choose to array them thus: 2, 4, 1, 0, 9, 5, 8, 6, 7, 3. Do the same vertically.
The reason for doing this is to make the game fairer, and to remove any benefit from those who choose their Super Bowl squares before others. Certain scores are more likely to win than others, so it can be an advantage to avoid those squares.
You can use squares grids to create a pool for any football game, from pee-wee to pro. The rules for Super Bowl squares games remain essentially the same regardless.
You and your friends may be avid Monday Night Football fans and can have a pool every week using the same grid over and over, simply changing the names of the teams on the axis or creating a new grid and placing the names in different squares for each game.
A squares games can be used to enliven a sports-themed bachelor/bachelorette party, a birthday party, or even just having friends over on Sunday for the game. This squares game, which gives all players the same chance to win, caters to football fans and non-fans alike, and in fact pulls non-football fans into the excitement by giving them some stakes in the game.
Squares pools can be used for fundraising (check local laws). You can collect the buy-in for each square, as usual, but instead of paying out the entire intake 1/4 at a time for each quarter, you could pay 1/8 of the “pot” to the winner of each quarter, which leaves you with 1/2 of the funds to give to the charitable cause.
Getting a whole office, club, or team on board with a squares pool is a solid way to team-build and start conversations. It gets people talking about the game, creates relationships, and eases the atmosphere.
Football Betting Nfl
You can also play squares for other sports and tournaments. March Madness, for example, or ice hockey.
With some rearrangement of the prize disbursement and how scores are calculated, they can be used for PGA Tour events and even the Olympics.
Learning how to play Super Bowl squares is not that difficult. It doesn’t take much to start a football squares pool.
Football Betting By Quarter Value
You just need a piece of paper, or a pre-printed Super Bowl squares template, and some willing participants. It’s a fun way to bet on the Super Bowl among friends.
Once you’ve explained the rules for playing Super Bowl squares, and got the boxes filled out, your only real work is to watch the game!
