Super Bowl extravaganza strategies | IXGAMES

Super Bowl XLI is Sunday, and you’re getting ready to throw a Super Bowl Party to commemorate the event. Well, if your last Super Bowl Party was a little hazy, or you’ve never thrown one before, here are some tips to make the party memorable and the game forgettable. 1: Food and drinks: Now, between the 14 hours of pre-game coverage and the game itself, you’re going to get hungry. Being a good host is very important for the big day, but you shouldn’t break the bank in the process. Provide some food, but if you have people who will bring chips, dip, cookies, brownies or anything else, don’t turn them down. Remember, you may be rewarded with leftover goodies. One of the things you definitely need to have on hand is a Crock Pot. It will keep food warm the whole game. For Super Bowl XLI, we made nine pounds of chip dip. At the end of the game it was all gone, but delicious the whole time. Remember … Crock Pot. Beverages are another thing that can ring up party costs in a hurry. Let people know to bring their own adult beverages. They’re your friends, they won’t care. Grab a couple of 12-packs of soda before the party, so you can still provide drinks the fashionably cheap way. One final note on the food front – make sure to clean off the intended space before people arrive. It appears classier, and could save the embarrassment of explaining why you own some of the things you do. 2: Commercials: Commercials are truly the best part of the Super Bowl, so watch them. It’s the only day of the year you can feel good about advertising swaying your purchasing decisions, and you’ll probably see a monkey. Also, they’ll probably be up on YouTube about an hour after the original broadcast, so you can watch them again later for your own personal amusement. 3: Be safe: Listen to the softly-worded message in the flashy, hilarious beer commercials. Don’t drink and drive. It will make your mom happy. 🙂 4: Online Super Bowl Gambling: Gambling can be great for the Super Bowl. Currently both Chicago and Indy have 50-50 odds. It’s the most even bet you’ll find. So Do your homework well. 5: Plan for Monday: The Monday after the Super Bowl is kind of like a nationwide skip day. Super Bowl Monday is the single-most called-in-sick day of the whole year! Find your favorite Super Bowl bet at:   Casino Games
