    NBA Teaser, Opinions Please

    I am thinking of doing a 5 point NBA teaser:

    OKC -2.5
    76ers +9.5
    Spurs -6
    Pacers +12.5
    76ers/Celtics Under 178.5

    $700 to win $2,100. Look good? Think I should do Celtics +0.5 instead? Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I'd replace Pacers +12.5 with Heat -2.5. The difference between covering 7.5 and 12.5 isn't really all that big for a solid favorite like Miami is here.

    Btw, don't know how much $700 is to you but to me that seems a bit much to put on a 5 teamer.

    Also 5.5 instead of 5 points is probably a good idea what with all those half points you got now.

    I recommend putting double your net worth on it

    Bosh being out I think Pacers keep it close, may even pull out the win.

    NEVER NEVER NEVER include a total in a teaser. Sportsbetting doesn't get any more basic than that. If you are betting $700 a play, and you don't know that rule by now, I would like to be your bookie.

    Hitting 5 straight is pushing it IMO
