    please explain how teasing a total can ever be +EV

    13 point 4 team sweetheart teasers are the way to go. Tease favorites close to zero...if you find a weak line on a dog tease it up and guarantee yourself a winner

    Dont ever tease totals, wait until close to gametime and cross the 3 and 7. If you cant master wong teasers you should look for other work...not trying to be a dick but thats the honest truth.

    4 teamers at +300 is the best value that you've mentioned.

    Theres plenty of information on wong teasers in books and online...do an hours worth of research and if you still dont get it then I dunno man.
    Please explain how my post is inaccurate if you don't mind.

    As I said previously, the standard deviation on totals in the NFL is lower, especially with any handicapping expertise/experience.

    If you think you have an edge on nfl totals (you don't) youd be much better off just betting them straight up. The reason teasers work is that points are scored unevenly in the nfl (lots of 7s and 3s obviously). So books charge the same to buy points that cross key numbers as the ones that dont. That's where the value of a teaser kicks in. That isn't the case at all with totals.
