depends..
I frequently tease basketball. There is no best number. It all depends on what the hooks are in the games you tease. For example, today's lines as they are now.Originally posted by hillardoh
Dallas -4 Detroit +4
OKC -5.5 Clippers +5.5 (line has moved .5 up recently)
Phoenix -7.5 Toronto +7.5 (line has moved .5 up recently)
Lakers -9 Houston +9
ok. I'll go Detroit, OKC, Phoenix, Lakers.
4pt tease: Det +8, OKC -1.5, Phoenix -3.5, Lakers -5 (pays 3-1)
4.5 tease: Det +8.5, OKC -1, Phoenix -3, Lakers -4.5 (pays 5-2)
5 tease: Det +9, OKC -.5, Phoenix -2.5, Lakers -4 (pays 2-1)
10 tease (ties lose): Det +14, OKC +4.5, Phoenix +2.5, Lakers +1 (pays 10/13)
here is where i move to get the hooks.
Look at Detroit. We want to get them at/over 4 baskets. so consider 4.5.
However 4.5 and the Lakers are still -4.5, needing 5 to win. no good.
So I go up to the 5 pt, and 2-1 is still nice odds there. If the Lakers only win by 4, it's a push on that and pays 7-5 overall.
all about lining up the hooks to your advantage. Wherever they appear first.Comment
