    2 team 6 point teaser

    Trying this for fun. Since Vegas is quite good at lines, why not bet with them. I'm only using SBR sportsbook since I have not backtested it at all so I'm not willing to risk money at this point. Week 1 went 10-6. I'm betting over and under on same game. For example, tonight is at 44. So I have a two team teaser for under 50 and over 38. I will bet every NFL game. It may have been tried before but I have not looked or backtested. Purely for betpoints for now.
    Points Awarded:

    Slanina gave Basement 75 Betpoint(s) for this post.

    How low has the Think Thank fallen

    Just to help you a bit, it is a terrible idea. Teasing totals is never a good idea (even teasing spreads, where points are worth more, is often bad). And even worse teasing both sides of the same line. The teaser is a parlay, and over + under are negatively correlated. So, if you win the under (including the tease), it is more possible than not that you lose the over (including the tease). In short, do not do it.

    Cross 3 and 7 NFL. If you do 3 and 4 teamers look for +180 and +300.

    Probably right but it's for points so nothing at risk besides a daily login. We'll see where it stands after September.

    Or you could spend 10 minutes and see how it would've played out over the last 10 years.

    You will lose roughly 30% per dollar/point wagered doing this.
