Box Pools and 2 point conversions

Many of us, I am sure, are in office Super Bowl box pools and maybe got stuck with some crappy numbers. A crappy number is just a made or missed 2 point conversion away from hitting. Here is a stat on 2 point conversions:

Between 2000-2009, there are 2,670 NFL games playoffs in those 10 years. There were 332 successful 2 point conversions so 12.4% of the games had a successful 2 point conversion (assuming there were not more than 1 in a game) – for round statistical purposes there is a succesful 2 point conversion in 1 out of every 8 games. But a missed 2 point conversion mucks things up too. So 1 out of 4 games has a 2 point conversion attempt. Two point conversions during this period were 48.3% successful.

This is useless knowledge but maybe provides a glimmer of hope for someone with 9-4 in a box pool

I wouldnt play it for the Super Bowl unless you are playing against it. There is a 1 in 8 chance of seeing a succesful 2 point conversion but you are only getting 4 to 1 odds. Pretty bad. -600 though is really in your favor. Maybe the best prop on the board?

One of the better props.

Worst prop i've seen is
Will a punt hit the scoreboard +800 yes and you can't bet no.

Didn't they move it?? It won't hit the scoreboard.

Ronnie, he just hates me, because I told him, cops should not bet online.

I stand by that.

This for fun units, is a lark.

He does the P.M. thing, calls me an idiot. I am not perfect!!!

I am very fast though. : )
