dude why do you do so many teasers?

strictlywinners · 01-27-09, 01:08 PM

Just to let you know you will never get back, gambling like this. You are betting for the sake of action not money. If you want to make money you need to seriously cut down on your plays, and stop doing teasers.

Every year I make atleast 15-20 units playing teasers.

There is nothing wrong with playing teasers when your up in units and trying to gain a little. Teasers are like blue chip stocks, steady, consistent gains and nothing flashy. About a third of my profit each NCAAB season comes from playing teasers. Nothing wrong with that.
However, they are right, if you are trying to come from behind or gain units quickly, teasers are not the play.

sweaty

you'er digging a deeper hole and bailout money want get you out !!! stop the teasers and parlays. I was a runner for an outfit in vegas ,serveral years back,I asked the man that ran control central, the mit computer whiz,and the money man."you know the guy that kept the runners in money" how about playing parlays, all three gave me the same response , if there where anything to them,we would play them. there for suckers!!I new then not to ask about teasers. I strictly book sports now and my advice is,if you got to have action then cut the bets down to a few plays and bet higher. juice will bust most bettors. totals are the stongest plays. look for line moves,if they move 4-5 points or more and never come back to the opening number then these are the most reliable bets.thats why most book joints in vegas put a limit on sides and totals and the sides are always higher than the total.please believe me,for i've bet the limit at every joint out there.I'll make a point that's fact.when they make a move on a total,the information is stronger than the side and 3-4-5 points in a total is a safer bet than 2 point move on the side.

Sweatyguido · 01-27-09, 02:06 PM

yeah, thats why im just gonna put small amts on them for now on, its such a heartbreaker to lose $300 on a 10pt teaser b/c one of the teams doesnt show up that night

Sweatyguido · 01-27-09, 02:08 PM

i never thought of that on the totals, thanks for the input!

poker_dummy101 · 01-27-09, 06:08 PM

1. Stop betting teasers IMMEDIATELY
2. Memphis will cover tonight in NBA

ClayBalls · 01-27-09, 06:20 PM

BB -

What is a good site to use to track over/under line movement??

awhitejackson · 01-27-09, 06:21 PM

SCHWETTY....I like the four straight up picks in NCAAB but that may even be too many bets...Now is the time to spot bet and kill the easy ones for big amounts.....What is an easy one????? Well dont look at me....GL
