uThe game is best played with 10 players. If playing in a bar, (you will soon have enough players once you explain why your group seems to be begging for timeouts or screaming at strange points in the game).
Get a deck of cards and pull out the Ace through 10.
[] Toss the 10 cards in a hat, from which each player draws one, and antes 1 dollar. (Ace is “one” and 10 is “zero”, the other cards are face value). Any unclaimed (un-paid for) cards go in the pot.

[] Once the TV game begins, at each full TV Timeout (commercial break), the player with a card matching the total of the last digits of each team’s score wins the pot. For example: If the score is 20-17, the total is 7. If the score at the break is 68-38, the winner is 6. And so on.
Note: If any “unclaimed” cards in the pot “win” a round, ALL players must ante another dollar.

[] After each win, all players re-ante a dollar and wait for the next full commercial break (note: it must be a full TV break in the action, not a network “voice-over”).
Note: Players can "trade" (or sell) cards as they see fit at half-time (though it hardly matters).

Action gets intense at the end of each half as coaches call frequent timeouts. If the score doesn't change in this shortened play action, the winner can win multiple times with the same number.

Do NOT play this during a Badger game! People will think you are crazy.
