    Why aren't teasers popular? Ones that give you like +10
    I tried a teaser earlier this week with 3 teams and +7 as a teaser and won. Why isn't it that people dont like teasers? I think with following good cappers and combining it with teasers, shouldnt that be very successful? Maybe someone can save me if im going to be doing something wrong.

        +10 added to spread? if so those must be used correctly to maximize your opportunity in that teaser. i have used these in the past and have done very well, but it must be an open teaser so u can choose your spots. some have taken me two weeks to close out. good luck!

          Points in basketball are too easy to come by and swings are too huge. Plus, most teasers don't add that many points in basketball.

          Teasers are only good in NFL (sides and totals) as well as the OVER in college football.

          It's too easy to get blown out of the water in modern sports.

            I do teasers all the time mostly totals but it's great to do with dogs.

                what do you mean by taking you two weeks to close out, im confused? I'm picking todays games today.

                Stackingreen: I understand that swings happen but that's why i try not to do teasers blindly, but to combine it with picks from good cappers

                  He leaves the bet open. A 4-team teaser for example instead of choosing 4 games tonight he might only choose one or two & leave the other two spots open & fill it in with a game tomorrow & finally finish it off with the last game the next day.
                  Some books offer open teasers/parlays some dont.

                        Ive just always found it better to take the dogs. You give yourself a little more leeway. So instead of having 3 games where the favorite has to win by x amount you could take the dogs and then if an upset happens, you're all good and you have a large spread that is much tougher to cover for the favorite.

                        All teasers look good on paper just be smart.

                          Yeah youre right. I might reevalute and choose some dogs. Do you post your teasers anywhere, A123? And at what +points do you usually use? I like the +7 to +8 range

                            The amount of points I take is always dependent on the games. If I really like say 3 games, Ill take the 5 with the + odds.

                            I dont post my plays anywhere, haven't looked into todays games yet either. Once I check them out Ill post some teasers if I see anything though.

                              Because your 3 team, 6 points teaser has a house edge of 16.61%.

                                  I rarely do teasers, usually only liking ATS for good teams in good spots, for instance if Spurs/GSW/Atlanta (circa last season) are all playing bottom feeders. This season, there seems to be more volatility in NBA so no teasers for me, and I never use totals in my teasers. NFL is a slightly different story.

                                  Anyway, long-term this is not a winning strategy; you are basically paying too much juice. Read this for example

                                  Are you familiar with Betting on the NBA tips? Do you know which are the best types of bets? Based on historical games from 2013 to 2017, here are the bets explained.

                                    I am still pretty confident in teasers...only the kings failed me but what are the chances of philly getting their 3rd win..it happens. Should of chosen pacers with a +10 instead since they were at +3

                                        So to do that I just have to go into teasers and go through with the bet but leave "open spots" for how many more games i want to do?

                                          To each his own, but as I said you are giving the books an unfair advantage.
