Super Bowl squares, but every Sunday.
Block Pools is the easiest contest we offer and the one most likely to convert non-DFS players. It's classic Super Bowl squares — pick a square on a 10×10 grid, get random numbers after the pool fills, and check the score at the end of each quarter.
We just don't reserve it for the Super Bowl. Every NFL game gets its own pool, settling four times across the broadcast.
Each pool is a 10×10 grid — 100 squares. You claim one or more squares for a fixed entry price. When the pool fills, numbers 0–9 are randomly assigned to each row and column. Your numbers are the row and column of your square. At the end of each quarter, the last digit of each team's score points at exactly one square — and whoever owns it takes that quarter's share of the pot.
One pool per NFL game throughout the regular season and playoffs. Pools open the Tuesday before kickoff and unlock once all 100 squares are claimed. Payouts settle live at the end of each quarter, with the final share paid when the game ends.
You buy four squares in a $5 pool. Total pot: $500. Once the grid fills, your squares land at (home 3, away 7), (home 0, away 4), (home 7, away 0), and (home 9, away 9).
End of Q1 the score is 7–0. Last digits: home 7, away 0. That's your square at (7, 0) → you take 15% of the pot = $75. Halftime score is 14–10 — last digits (4, 0), not yours. End of Q3 is 21–17 — last digits (1, 7), not yours.
Final score 31–24 — last digits (1, 4), not yours, but you walked away with $75 on a $20 buy-in. Pools are intentionally low-stakes and high-volume.
