    My Teasers Only experiment

    Took a nice vacation now trying something new. Taking half of my Giants super bowl futures winning and investing into my teasers experiment. Goal is to reach $2,000. all bets are for $50 @ -120. 2 teams 5pt or 3 teams 8pt teasers thru my local. NBA or Ncaab

    2/16
    Oregon +19
    arz st+23
    Nc st+18.5

    Any reason why you think this will work? From what I understand about teasers, you are not getting value teasing double digit college basketball spreads. You would be better off teasing underdogs in the +3 to +5 range. Also you can get better odds on 5 point teasers than -120. If you plan on making a lot of wagers, you are going to throw away a lot of profit betting through your local.

    Spar: bro, i hear ya. i agree and should put disclaimer that this is not the best way to win/keep profit over long term. my local does give me crappy odds on teasers, but his odds are nice on my bread and butter plays (straights). i did pretty well last month just tinkerin around with various situational plays so i figure i'd post here to document and see how it goes. this is definitely for experimental and entertainment purposes with a little scratch i don't mind investing or losing. appreciate your insights and bol!

    p.s. i won't be just focusing on DD underdogs. I look at various situations and also play faves and totals too.

    today's i'm just playing against double digit home faves who i think are overvalued based on their last 6 games, where they did decent ATS (covered at least 3 games). dogs in this situation fare pretty well so i added some teaser points to boost dem doggies. that's my angle for this play.

    Teasing b ball totals will bury you quickly. Stick to spreads

    Goggs, sorry to post more negative feedback, but what in the world are you thinking including a basketball total in a teaser? I suggest that you start reading up on general teaser strategy and push rates. In a world where you should avoid "definites" at all cost, I can say with 100% confidence that you should NEVER include a basketball total in a teaser.

    Hey I thought I would start up the same experiment but I went a little bigger than you. I did a 5 team 4 point teaser to start.

    ORL -3.5
    MIA-6
    OKC -6
    UTAH -6
    LAL -4

    I only put in about 40 bucks so I guess we will see how it goes. Oh and I was also experimenting on teasing with only favorites so im hoping for the best

    Adding Another 3t +8pts

    Knicks-1.5
    Jazz-1.5

    1. Don't tease NBA totals
    2. Stick to system plays, don't go off the map

    Kj, both teasers lost by sick 1pt. I'm going to cap losses at $350 if things don't turn around.

    Gonna be hard to make a steady profit in the long run. You should try lower point teasers or add more teams, just my two cents
