    Why do PPL say teasers are sucker bets

    I win at them all the time. Teasers are 10x better than playing 2 or 3 team spread parley's.

    NFL and College are good. Make the most money on those two.

    But NBA is useless.

    college is a little shaky, lines aren't really all that sharp in college football

    I was not really a believer in them, but 5-0 so far this year with them and have Cinci CFB, Patriots, Steelers and San Diego in a few this week. We will see if getting the over 7.5 favorites down under a field goal continues to work, certainly not foolproof and can't be done blindly, but working so far.

    Oh, and yes, College lines may not be quite as sharp, but that means if you can find the right side of a not so sharp line and tease it you are in an even better situation than an NFL tease.

    On average, bettors lose 3.5 cents per dollar wagered on straight bets, 21 cents per dollar on teasers, and 26 cents on parlays. If we're talking about 2-3 teamers only, the average loss is around 15% for both parlays/teasers.

    So, yes, teasers are a little better than parlays, but straight bets are much better than teasers.

    Basic strategy teasers have been better than straight bets over the years in NFL.
