I've had some decent luck recently with the 8-point 3-team teasers (-120 @ bookmaker). I figured I'd start a thread here with my plays when the opportunity arises. Previous record means little without posting it, but I am 5-2 since I started trying them. For the sake of records, I'm starting this thread at 0-0, though. While I don't always tease the dog (such as today, I took conn pk rather than sac +16, although either would have worked). Rarely does a team lose by margins of 15+ so there are a lot of value in these teasers. In the case of a team looking to run their opponent out of the gym, we'll just tease the favorite.
For tomorrow, we have a 3-game slate, so there aren't a lot of options for variation.
For the morning game, we have Indiana on the road against San Antonio. Currently, the Fever is playing serious ball and hoping to be serious contenders for the championship. Look for them to finish out strong before the allstar break. Indiana's last game was a 12-point win over washington, with a powerful 28-point performance from tamika catchings. SA, on the other hand, has been hit or miss. Their last game was a loss to chicago, after shooting 22-64, including 6-22 from beyond the arc. not even hitting 25-29 freethrows could save them from that mess. After a discouraging road loss, they've returned home to face the formidable Fever. I expect the money to ride hard on indiana, so I'm hoping to see the line jump to 3.5-4 area. At that point I'd tease the dog once again and take SA +12. SA has has 4 days rest, time to regroup, and they're back at home, while Indiana is on a road trip, traveling from washington on tuesday, and feeeling very confident. The Fever might pull it off, but I expect a better showing from SA. This won't be a blowout.
SA +11 (hopfully up to +12 by gametime)
Chicago plays Washington tomorrow, and I'm a little torn on this game. Generally in the WNBA, when teams seem to be somewhat evenly matched, the home team usually pulls out the win. Chicago is very hit or miss it seems. If Dupree is on her game, she can be a game changer. I like Washington to win outright. They're at home, after a day's rest, and playing pretty steady ball, despite a discouraging loss to Indiana on Monday. Chicago is playing back to back after a loss to NY at home, and now they have to travel to washington to play a stronger team. I don't see Chicago getting blown out, but I like the Mystics to win. Either play (WAS +2 or CHI +14) looks plausible. If joe schmoe pounds washington and by gametime washington is -8 or less, I'd tease to PK. otherwise, SKY +16.5 or more seems like a solid play. For now, my lean is:
WAS +2 (or anything PK or above by gametime)
Game 3: Not a lot to say. Monarchs suck ass. NY Liberty at home as dogs. N. Powell will have to carry her team once again for the monarchs to have any chance. She played 30 minutes tonight. Sacramento blew an 11-point lead at half to lose by 8 on the road against connecticut. Now they travel to NY to face the Liberty, who just came off a win on the road. Both teams are traveling, but NY is coming home as victors. Expect them to not blow this game against the faltering monarchs. The only wild card is the new coach for SAC. The Liberty can be hit or miss, but I think this is one dog we just shouldn't tease. Leaning:
NY +1 (or anything PK or above by gametime)
So the (PENDING) card looks something like this:
3-team 8-point teaser: 1.2 unit @ (-120) to win 1 unit
SA +11
WAS +2
NY +1
Current YTD Record: 0-0-0
I'm planning to wait till closer to game time, hoping to get SA +12 or +13. Final plays are in the morning!
This is a new thing to me, so tail at your own risk! BOL to all
