Which squares numbers win most often, and why it does not matter before the draw
Football scores move in sevens and threes, so the last digits 0, 7, 3 and 4 come up far more often than 2, 5 and 9. That is why the digits are drawn after the grid is locked: before the draw every square is exactly as good as every other.
You can create the pool now and share the link when the game is set. The board stays empty until people join, nothing is charged, and the manage link is yours to keep.
The arithmetic
- Touchdowns with the kick add 7, field goals add 3, a safety 2, a two-point conversion makes 8: running totals land on 0, 7, 3, 4 (and 1, with a kick after a field goal) more than on 2, 5 or 9.
- A 0-0 square wins the first quarter whenever neither team has scored; it is the single most valuable square before any points.
- Late in a game, 2, 5 and 9 pay off from safeties, two-point tries and stacked field goals, which is why the final can surprise.
What it means for your pool
- Claim any square you like; the draw decides its digits after the lock, and the tool shows the draw's time so everyone can see it came later.
- If your group wants the swing, run the payout final-heavy: the later the period, the more evenly the digits spread.

Quick answers
What are the best numbers in Super Bowl squares?
After the draw, 0, 7, 3 and 4 win most often because football scores move in sevens and threes; 2, 5 and 9 win least. Before the draw no square is better than another, which is the point of drawing after the lock.
Is the 0-0 square good?
For the first quarter it is the best square on the grid: it wins whenever neither team has scored yet. For the final it is ordinary.

Bikoosh Pools never collects, holds or pays out money and never sets stakes: it keeps the grid, the picks and the standings for people who already know each other. Whether a pool carries any stake, and whether that is allowed where you are, is the host's responsibility.
