My Teasers Only experiment

[GoggsViggs]

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

That's a 3 team 8 pt teaser above.

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.

[GoggsViggs]

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

[SparJMU]

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.

[GoggsViggs]

spar, it's all good bro. i really appreciate the guidance and feedback. clearly, i have a lot to learn regarding teasers. as i said before, i usually play straights only and just started tinkerin' with nba teasers here. keep the comments coming, it'll help me improve.

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

[GoggsViggs]

Kj, nice. Although 5 teams s too much for me to handle. Let's cash these puppies!

Goggs how sure are you on this teaser? I might follow cause im not liking anything in the NBA today

[GoggsViggs]

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

[GoggsViggs]

Kj, thx for the advice bro. Appreciate it.
