It’s exactly the same. Why would it be different? Hollywood got something wrong? No way. Hollywood boxes would sound stupid though. Just like super bowl squares does.

Do a search and let me know how often you see basketball boxes vs basketball squares. It's a vast conspiracy brought to you by the Squares Deep State.

DonS 3,067 Posted January 29, 2020 Oh, and spoiler alert, the same zero results for hockey boxes and baseball boxes also apply. G0ddamn the entirety of US sports fans are retarded!!! I do freely admit that I was 100% wrong about the other sports not doing squares. I was speaking from my own experiences and hadn't realized folks did it for the other major sports.

Not that I enjoy agreeing with HT but I’ve known it as super bowl boxes or box pool my entire life only recently have I seen people calling it super bowl squares (last 2-3 years) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jersey maybe... when people text me or i text them as pools are being filled out its always "hey how many boxes you want this year?" "$10 per box" etc.. Some people in the pool i run and in other pools i'm in are spread out across the country though and no one has ever been like 'what do you mean box? its square!" I've never really bothered to google it as the only google search i've ever needed to do was "super bowl box pool template" to get one printed out since the people who will be at my place and the rest of the pool participants still like to hand write their names in their boxes.
