Superbowl Box Pool Odds on Point Change

my dad sent me this link today:

http://www.j-e-f-f.com/sb-o-m.htm


it details the percentage payout per quarter that each superbowl pool box has earned in all superbowls. since we play a pool on point change, this link doesn't actually tell us much.

so i went to superbowl.com for stats and made a quick program to come up with this chart that gives us the percentage of hits on each box. here it is:


0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 10.69 2.24 1.21 8.79 5 1.72 7.59 8.45 1.21 2.76
1
0.17 0.34 0.86 0.86 0.34 1.03 1.38 0.17 0.52
2

0 1.21 0.34 0 1.03 1.38 0.17 0.52
3


3.62 2.76 0.17 4.83 5.52 0.17 1.55
4



0.69 0.52 1.55 3.1 0 1.9
5




0 0.17 0.52 0 0.17
6





1.21 3.45 0.34 0.86
7






2.93 0.86 1.9
8







0.17 0.69
9








0.34


When taking AFC & NFC into consideration, this is the chart. NFC is the columns going across, AFC is the rows going down.



0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 10.69 1.55 0.69 4.66 2.93 1.21 3.97 4.48 1.03 1.55
1 0.69 0.17 0.34 0.69 0.69 0.17 0.69 0.86 0.17 0.34
2 0.52 0 0 0.52 0.34 0 0.52 0.69 0 0.34
3 4.14 0.17 0.69 3.62 1.03 0 2.59 2.76 0.17 1.38
4 2.07 0.17 0 1.72 0.69 0 1.03 2.07 0 1.03
5 0.52 0.17 0 0.17 0.52 0 0.17 0.34 0 0.17
6 3.62 0.34 0.52 2.24 0.52 0 1.21 1.72 0.34 0.34
7 3.97 0.52 0.69 2.76 1.03 0.17 1.72 2.93 0.34 0.86
8 0.17 0 0.17 0 0 0 0 0.52 0.17 0.52
9 1.21 0.17 0.17 0.17 0.86 0 0.52 1.03 0.17 0.34


and likewise, here are the expected final scores when afc/nfc is not taken into account:


0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 0 2.44 2.44 2.44 0 4.88 4.88 7.32 0 4.88
1
0 0 0 4.88 4.88 2.44 2.44 2.44 2.44
2

0 0 2.44 0 0 2.44 0 2.44
3


0 4.88 0 4.88 2.44 0 0
4



0 0 0 9.76 0 2.44
5




0 0 0 0 0
6





2.44 2.44 2.44 2.44
7






4.88 0 2.44
8







0 2.44
9








0

and when afc & nfc are taken into account (afc is rows again)


0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 0 0 2.44 0 0 4.88 2.44 4.88 0 2.44
1 2.44 0 0 0 2.44 2.44 2.44 2.44 2.44 2.44
2 0 0 0 0 2.44 0 0 0 0 2.44
3 2.44 0 0 0 2.44 0 0 2.44 0 0
4 0 2.44 0 2.44 0 0 0 9.76 0 2.44
5 0 2.44 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
6 2.44 0 0 4.88 0 0 2.44 2.44 2.44 2.44
7 2.44 0 2.44 0 0 0 0 4.88 0 0
8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2.44
9 2.44 0 0 0 0 0 0 2.44 0 0
