Interesting...all the pools I've been in have had you get the same numbers every quarter. This way seems a lot better though.

yeah different numbers each quarter, and satellite winners (think of it as a big X, if you are 2 away from a winner you win some $, if you are on the corner of a winner, you win $125). You automatically get money back if you have 2-2, 5-5, 8-8, 9-9.

How do these pools work?

Most of them, you buy a box before any numbers are drawn for a predetermined amount of money. After you sell all the boxes, you then draw numbers at random and place them in the row and column. Put a team for the x-axis (ie Pitt) and team for the y-axis (ie Seattle).

Then at the end of each quarter, whatever the score is, whoever has those numbers wins some of the money. Lets say at halftime its Pitt 14-Seattle 10, whoever has Pitt 4 and Seattle 0 wins some cash.

You can also do it by scoring changes and not quarters.

Seattle - 4
Pitt - 0

100 squares @ $100 a square

Final Score - $2500

The rest goes into a pool. Whenever there is a score change the person holding that set of numbers gets a share. (2/2, 5/5, 8/8 and final first downs also get a share. Final score doesn't count as a score change, they just get the final score amount)

So,

TD Seattle 6 - 0 wins
PAT Seattle 7 - 0 wins

Take the pool amount/total # score changes and that is how much each is. If your numbers hit multiple times you get another share

So, if you had Pitt 3, Sea 0.. you would win 3 shares on 3 - 0, 13 - 0, 23 - 0

A share is usually $300-$400 as a typical game has around 20 - 25 score changes (including the auto winners)
