?What is Sports Squares?

Sports Squares is a popular game of chance played during sporting events. It's a fun way to add excitement to any game - Super Bowl, March Madness, playoffs, or any matchup you want to make more interesting!

#The Grid

The game uses a 10x10 grid with 100 squares total. One team is assigned to the columns (0-9) and the other to the rows (0-9).

Example: If you have a square in row 7 and column 3, you win when the score ends with Team A having 7 and Team B having 3 (like 17-13, 27-23, or 67-73).
