Ok Nostriches, who wants to have another SuperBowl Square Game? If there’s interest, I’ll do it again. This would the the 4th Annual Nostr SuperBowl Square Board, so I’d like to keep it going. But I know my engagement has been down lately. I’ve been really busy with IRL issues, but I’m guessing we all have. Anyway, my node was off line for a week due to the recent ice storm here, but should be back in operation tomorrow. Here’s how it will go down if we play….each square is 15k, if we make 50 squares and can’t get all 100 sold, I’ll split the board and the 1st 50 will each get 2 for 1 squares and payouts will be based on 7500 buy in. I’ll make a second board assuming we get another 25 squares sold, if not, I’ll refund the squares for over 50. I will charge 10 sats per square for routing fees. Other than that, all sats get paid out. I do this for fun; not for sats. So, who wants to play? Super Bowl LX will take place on Feb. 8, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. ET, or 3:30 p.m. on the West Coast, where the Super Bowl will be held this year. So we don’t have much time to fill the board. @QW @Seth @Jamaussie @Nice and Kind Vic @bevo @Nick @A.A.Ron image

A square board is not betting. It’s a 100% game of chance. The board is made up of a 10x10 grid. (100 squares). Your purchase gives you a square on the board. When all 100 squares have been purchased, then the squares are randomly assigned to each participant. After all squares are assigned, the numbers 0-9 are randomly assigned to the x and y axis of the board, as well as the teams get assigned, one to the x axis, one to the right axis. Then at the end of each quarter, the last digit in each score is used to find the winner. Here’s an example…. Say Q1 ends and the score is 10-8 and x has 10 and y has 8. You find the zero on the x axis, find the 8 on the y axis, and wherever they intersect is the winner. The board is published before game time so there’s no funny business. It makes the game more exciting to watch and usually I see people use it as fundraisers. So if they sold squares for $20 fiat, they’d keep 1/2 money for their cause (a softball team, a dance team, etc raising money for traveling expenses) and then give away the other half. Im doing it for fun. I’ll charge 10 sats per square to help cover routing fees, but other than that, I’ll pay all sats back out. If interested, be sure and follow. It looks like there’s enough interest that I’ll do it.
