    Wong Teasers Still Successful???

    This is taken from an SBR article. What do they mean that Wong teasers were "previously a cash cow". Have the books adjusted somehow? If Bovada has two lines at -8.5 (-110) this fall, has this teaser lost it's value?

    The same adjustments have been made in the NFL with respect to conventional "Wong teasers" — exotic bets that had previously been a cash cow for sophisticated bettors who understood how to use them.

    most books now have lines that specifically try to prevent people from betting wong teasers. you will see alot of -9.5 @-130 lines.

    Also factor in that you use to be able to get 2 team, 6 pt teasers at even money at some places.

    You still can profit from teasers, just harder. And I think 6pt evens teasers still around...

    not only do books price these differently, now, there is more dispersion in the range of possible outcomes due to the change in pass/run mix

    Over the last couple of seasons the books have adjusted the prices of the 2team and 3team 6 pters. Also like pointed out above more books using teaser block numbers for spreads.
