By now, pretty much every person has at some point in their life participated in a traditional 'squares' contest for a sporting event. For those that haven't, a "Squares Pool", is a 10 by 10 grid type of pool where players select a square until the grid is full. Then once the game kicks off, the rows and columns fill in with numbers. Typically the squares will pay off at halftime or at the end of a game, but for the Super Bowl, squares contests pay out for each quarter and the final score is usually a much higher payout.

Both Heritage Sports and WagerWeb are offering their active players a shot at cashing on in squares pools. Both sportsbooks are offering the squares free to existing players, but at WagerWeb you can still get involved with just a $100 deposit. Since each of these Elite-rated sportsbooks have thousands of customers, when one grid is full, another grid will appear. In other words, there will be multiple winners per number. There also two ways to win for each set of numbers, Winners will be paid both ways: If the final score is 7 to 14 XXX-XXX. Then they pay $200 for the right way and $75 for the reverse (YYY-YYY 7 to 14). Each Quarter pays $100 and the final score pays $200, with the reverse paying half of each prize. Heritage players can get started at any time and players wishing to participate in the WagerWeb contest, can still sign-up with a $100 deposit  to bet the Super Bowl and get started in the free squares contest.

Diamond Sports, has a pile of squares that players can get involved with. Players must pay for each one of the squares at BetDSI.eu and there is a level of participation to fit any players budget. Squares start as low as $5 and go all the way to the high roller squares at $500. Prizes for each quarter range from $25 quarters, $50 halves and $200 full games to $2500 quarters and a whopping $20,000 final score payout. BetDSI will also payout the final score reverse as well for each level of squares.

Where 10 years ago every sportsbook offered contests and free squares could be found at most online sportsbooks, today these three books stand out from the crowd with the old school, traditional squares contests.
