Are Basic Strategy / "Wong" Teasers DEAD?
Hey guys...with so many books shading their lines against these types of teasers, do you think these are no longer profitable? We all know these teasers were profitable following blindly in the past, but what's your take on these now and heading into the future??
Look forward to some thoughts and debate on this!
Linemakers are like the US Marines: "Improvise, Adapt and Overcome"
not dead but definitely not the abundant free money they were for a while, which is of course to be completely expected once something like that becomes so ridiculously widely-know
the concepts can still be very much in play when combined with capping, but the blind betting value isn't nearly what it once was, although it does still definitely exist, if you know what it looks like, you can find it, at least temporarily
Dimer sharp as usual
they still there , just have to find them. the -120 kill the excitement of finding them though
They were dead a while ago when they made them all -120
I remember when you could get them +100

you can still make plenty of money with wong teasers - you just gotta recognize which teams are a good choice and which are not
Seattle at ST louis is NOT a good choice - they've been blown out a million times over the last 2 years
Jags @ Cleveland is a GREAT choice - Cleveland almost never wins by more than 1 possession
I have never been a fan of betting Wong Teasers but I have been killing it betting 4 Team 13 point teasers the last 2 years.

There are still one or two shops (not US friendly) that will let you play Wong teasers from a -110 base. To a large extent though the 'game' has moved on. Correlation between teaser legs has also been shut down 'thanks' in no small part to information posted on sites like SBR.
Good insight here guys...what are 'fair' odds for a 13-point 4-teamer? Man, lots can go wrong I would think when trying to pick 4 games right...
not dead, just gotta pick your spots...
The majority of bettors tease a -13 down to a -7, rather than take +2 to +8. You can give people all the information they'll ever need and the majority still do their own thing, hence, the 4 t 13point comment earlier.
Most bettors aren't sharp, nor care to be sharp... which is why it makes no sense that these books cater to the 5% who play B.S. instead of 95% of their base.
We still do 3team +180, guys that know what they're doing beat us (using basic strat) the rest monkey around and lose.
3 teamers +180 are key
Can I ask why 3-teamers at +180 is better than 2-teamers at +100 or -105?
where can you get 2 teamers at +100 or -105 ?
besides 5 dimes , but they wont offer any "wong-able" lines
I play at a US friendly book with -110 base, if you're referring to 6 point teasers??
How about +175? Close enough?
The average odds for each leg on a -105 2-teamer is -256
The average odds for each leg on a +180 3-teamer is -244
yeah that should be fine, very small difference but it doesnt matter if the book offers numbers that aren't wongable,
which book is this
Yes but specifically about Wong teasers i.e 6-point teasers that go completely through 3 and 7 in American football e.g tease from -7.5 to -1.5. These gave the player a mathematical edge.
Can't say one is better than the other without knowing what the win probability on the 3rd game you want to tease is.
Why can't one compare lines to a sharp book like pinny? I mean if they have a game set at -7.5 when 'your' book is at -7 why not tease it still? I know its not a true Wong but what if you are basing it off of pinny or greek, etc?
I would tease that all day.
You need to find +1,5 to 2.5 dogs and -7.5 to 8.5 favs
if pinny has these numbers then the +1.5,2.5,-7.5,-8.5 will be +101 or greater therefor not a play
now lets say pinny has the line -7 and your book has 7.5, then you check the drop down menu to see if it applies
Me too.
When does that happen lol
Yes, just checked. Simulated if I made a bet on the Lions (from -7 to -1) and Cowboys
(-7.5 to -1.5) and it was available at -110. Assuming these are Wong Teasers, it should work. Or does pushing on the 7 not count?
Nevermind. Didn't read the posts above. I'd have to double check when one line moves. My fault.
Actually, it works afterall!
