Teasers - Two Team vs Three Team

[clonecat]

I am not statistician and for the most part believe that teasers are suckers bets, but it still does not keep me away from them.

I have been thinking that it has to be more advantageous to bet a three team teaser rather than a two team teaser if you are playing common push #'s. If you bet a two team teaser and win on and push one, you get no return, but if you lose one and push one, you still lose your bet. If you have a three team teaser and one of your bets pushes you go to a two team teaser and can still be paid if you win your other two bets.

Can anyone quantify what I am thinking from an odds standpoint?

You'll just not have to hit as often on 3 teamers. I am not a teaser guru so I cannot share any heavy mathematics right now, but good question.
