    is this completly stupid or what (need help bad)

    ok i tried to tell my friend to do this but he wont listen to me, right now he has 545 in his account he wants to get to 1000 quick so i told him to do two 7 point teasers with ne-2 and philly pk and ne-2 and ny +14. if ne covers the -2 then no matter what he would win 1 and only be down $62, but if he wins both then he would be at $966 because each one is $273 to win $210. i need the big boys advice on this one, help me talk some sense in him. or his other option is to lay all 545 on ne ml to catch 121 which would give him $666

    Well some have more than others.. Bodog has a 10% and 3x rollover..

    If your boy was going to do this he would deposit $545 and get $54.50 bonus to make his account just about $600 and he would have to wager abt $1800 before being able to withdraw.

    Well guess that isn't worth the $54.50 is it?

    Well your friend needs to learn this isn't a get rich quick type of business.

    I wouldn't tease the Giants with anything. They have no heart, and if they get down early, they could get beat by 24.

    Well, If your dead set on a teaser then I'd be teasing the Eagles down for sure. Thats something every sharp out there would have to agree with me on even though were all disagree on this game it seems like.

    Now looking at NY/NE, I would probably tease them down as well due to the value factor alone in that game.

    I agree with the person who said be careful on the Giants +14 portion of the teaser, I'd prefer your first option of teasing down both Philly and NE if it was my money. No set rules and people play them differently but for me I prefer to tease NFL home teams and use the points to go thoroughly through 3 and 7. For instance +1.5 to +7.5, -8.5 to -2.5. You stick to these rules you will do well with them. I got a big one on Indy and Philly that is halfway done, need the Eagles today. Good luck.

    Remember also that ne -2 may be very likely and it may be a relatively safe bet, but the Jets winning wouldn't be the craziest thing to ever happen in sports... and it would turn $545 into $0

    Gamble your heart out but don't take anything as a given, or it might come back to haunt you!

    usc great advice sir..

    Btw I just did some extra studying of this game and believe the best option is the Jets +17..

    Believe people are underestimating the Jets..

    tell your friend to place the 545 on under san antonio memphis 211
    then he can cut me a check for 10%

    RTA, I believe the best way for your friend to go is to make a LARGE wager on a teaser with the Jets +16 or +17(whatever book he is on) and then tease the Eagles down to just win the game... I think the Jets will keep this game close today... Their defense is solid enough that even if their offense isn't clicking to not get blown out... I think the Eagles are gonna fvcking roll the Giants over today... Barber will not be able to run on their D IMO... Have him bet like $350 or $400 on something he really has confidence in... This way he will still profit pretty decently and IF he were to lose he would still have somethin to fall back on... I wouldn't want to be puttin all my eggs in one basket, especially after seeing what TONY HOMO did last night...

    Teasers have a propensity to look GREAT on paper, but in this NFL season, teasers like the ones you are mentioning are dangerous.

    if he has gone from $50 to $500 in a week, tell him to shut-up and give you his picks.
