what does everybody think about this teaser

[PAULYPOKER]

gators +1/2
panthers +8
i like Florida to cover -51/2 but don't trust it completely.
i like pitt to keep it close and possibly even win but they are shaky right now.
i would appreciate some feedback.
ok then guys what about huskers+20 panthers+8

Pitt rolls IMO and also think Florida wins, so I like it

It is a strange teaser. The Florida wager is not real good. I can understand the Pitt wager, but if Florida loses, the 1/2 point will not help you at all. For the rediculous odds that teasers offer, you are better off going with a straight two team palay, at 13/5. To me, teasers show that the person wagering has little faith in his picks. They are as bad as guys buyig 3-4 points in a game and giving away tremendous odds. If you are afraid of losing, do not wager. It is that simple. By taking drastically reduced odds, you are, in fact, increasing your chances of losing in the long run.

Not bad at all. Most teasers are terrible, but anytime you can cross the 3 and 7 with a 6 point teaser, you're getting decent value.

But BD is right, you're giving the book a 1 point back because having Florida +1/2 is no different from having them -1/2. And my mistake, Florida doesn't cross the 7. So no, I don't think it's a good wager.
