    Basketball Teasers
    I found a place to play 3 team, 8 pt basketball teasers at -110 with ties lose. I checked 5dimes and they offer the same bet but at -135 so I figure there is some value here.

    I ran some simple math and came up with needing to win ~80.61% of my legs to be +EV. (Cube root of 52.38% which is the break even for bets at -110.)


    I also saw a few teams in the NBA tonight are right around -8 or -8.5 and ran the no vig moneyline from pinnacle and came up with the favorite winning about 77.3%. So it seems like there actually is not any value here. Am I missing something or is 5dimes just ripping people off?


    I can use college or NBA sides for these teasers. I dont think there are any huge "key" #s like in NFL the 3 or 7. I read somewhere that the 7 is sort of big for baskets but obviously not large enough to overcome the juice based on my above example.


    Any tips?

      "Never bet teasers in BB" UNLESS you don`t like anything on board and you are a degenerate action junkie.

      Then by all means, bet a 3 teamer, 8 points, ties lose, for like a half unit. Have some fun action, just don`t expect to win.
