    Question About Teasers
    I have always wondered this and could never find an answer. Why do football teasers get more points than basketball teasers. It seems basketball should get more points as it is easier to score faster and the games themselves are much more high scoring

    even though basketball is higher scoring, the average margin of victory is a couple points smaller than football. a quick google search tells me that average mov in the nfl is 5.4 and average mov in the nba is 3.1, i don't know what years those numbers are based on though

        Well, the answer is books value the points more in hoops then football. Not sure its what you wanted to hear though. You wanted an explanation why, and that I'm not sure.

          Books only care about FB teasers. They love it when people bet hoops.
          The #s are set up for the most part to make it tough for us to get past key#s in FB.

          There is a reason they are called teasers.Anytime you have to win multiple bets to cash a ticket,
          the odds swing to the dark side.
