Teaser works the same way as a parlay, both bets have to hit in order for you to win. On the plus side you get to buy points onto your spread so you have a better chance of winning each bet. On the downside, as a result your payout will not be as great because you bought the points.

Very different from a parlay. Teaser push you would loose the bet. A parlay you would still get paid just moves down to the next lever. Your best bet is to never play either one unless you like to throw $25 or less at a big parlay (4 teams or higher). It's hard enough to hit one game.

It means "the half point" like Wisconsin closed at -20.5, they won by 20, so u lost by the half point or in gambling lingo, lost by the "hook"

**Sixla** · 09-05-10, 02:04 PM

Texas Tech Paco?

**haveuseenm** · 09-05-10, 02:05 PM
