    Two advices on how to use teasers:-

    1> Never use teasers on NBA totals. Thats the dumbest thing anyone can do. Stick to sides.

    2> Never cross 0 when teasing sides. In this case you crossed 0 for Indiana.

    Same goes for Football as well. Read wong teasers.

    Books make money on teasers because people have no idea on how to use teasers.

    Thanks for the tips, quick question:
    2> Never cross 0 when teasing sides. In this case you crossed 0 for Indiana.
    Does that mean that i should tease like big favourites and have them as a small favourite instead of a small favourite as a small underdog???

    Correct...you loose value when you cross 0....any line between -1.5 and +1.5 is the same...so you wasting 3-4 points of your teaser unnecessarily. The difference is even big in NFL where lines between -2.5 and +2.5 are the same...in NFl you waster 5-6 points of your teaser when you cross 0.

    Its all about maximising your teaser. Other option besides reducing big favs is taking underdogs you like in a teaser.

    I totally understand what you are saying, i normally dont cross 0 but i thought this might be a close game where charloette wins at the last possession so i took them plus the points. I'll remember this though for tomorrow, thank you
