I'm a teenager who's recently gotten into sports gambling, I totally love it (and have gotten pretty good at it, after a VERY rough start, I recovered and have nearly doubled my original money so far ) because of all the reasoning and probability and risk analysis that goes into it, so I try to come up with as many ways as possible to gamble without dealing with the book's spreads, since I HATE betting straight spreads, unless I'm betting on a game with a heavy tempo-control game such as one involving Wisconsin or Virginia that is easy to predict.
Anyway, I discovered that my site offers 8 point 3 team teasers at -130 a couple days ago, and promptly pre'd in my pants. As long as you're disciplined, I really don't see how these could be a long term loser, since 8 point teasers pretty much give you circus spreads that will easily cover. I tried one out yesterday with a very small wager and it hit insanely easy. But I logged on today and remembered that it was Ivy Friday and had a revelation: holy crap 8 points make an unbelievable difference in Ivy games, because all the teams are roughly equally talented and slow tempo. Both huge blowouts and upsets are somewhat rare in the league, making them easy teaser material. So, I made a hypothetical 8 point 3 team Ivy teaser: Harvard PICK, Cornell Pick, and Brown +21.5. All 3 easily covered, except Harvard although they still won by 7 (I ended up making a related 4 team ML parlay that also hit).
I really want to try this for the 2nd batch of Ivy games tomorrow, does anyone have any experience with this who can give me advice as to whether this is really a solid betting strategy?
