What is the best teaser for NFL and NBA?

[dynamite140]

I know teasers are bad and one should never bet a teaser. But when it comes to NFL and NBA, there are a lot of teasers that look very good. However, i consider 2 team teasers horrible. In football 2 team teasers gives you 6 points. In basketball, they give you 4 or 4.5 points. Am i wrong to say that betting 2 team teasers is a terrible idea? I think basketball is the worst sports you can do a teaser in and NFL is the better option because lines are sharp.

I have looked at the teaser charts but does anyone agree with me 4 team teasers are the best if one was to bet a teaser? Of course i'm assuming any teaser you play from 2 team to 4 team pays are somewhere between -120 and +100. But i would feel much comfortable playing NFL 4 games 13 point teaser as oppose to a 2 team 6 point teaser. 10 Point 3 Team Teasers are great as well and i believe this is the 2nd best option. Anymore than 4 team teasers in the NFL is just asking for too much trouble.

What about the NBA? I think 4.5 point 2 team teasers are pretty useless. And i feel lot more comfortable with a 3 team 8 point teaser or 4 team 10 point teaser in the nba than a 2 teamer.

Is there any chart or math that shows which team teasers are the best? If you are talking about 2 team, 3 team or 4 team teasers, i feel that 4 teamers have better chance because much more points even though you need to hit more games.

And for this playoff weekend, i think 2 team teasers look way too easy. Such as if you take Packers +8.5 and patriots -2.5.


I would have to say the best teaser for the NFL this weekend would be

This would be -120 on the juice though and ties would lose.

Ravens +16
Ravens/Steelers Under 50
Green Bay +14
Jets +23

1) It is not true that one should never bet a teaser
2) One should never tease basketball or college football
3) 2 team teasers in the NFL can be good, but 4 teamers are better (4 teamer should pay +300, 2 teamer -110)
4) Teasers can only be good if they cross both sides of 3 and do not cross or hit Pick 'em
5) The best teasers are teasing +2.5 up to +8.5 and -8.5 down to -2.5

Am i wrong to say that betting 2 team teasers is a terrible idea?

Yes wrong to say. It depends on the odds and there are many 2 team teaser situations with value over the season.

I think basketball is the worst sports you can do a teaser in and NFL is the better option because lines are sharp.

Generally the part about NFL being better than basketball is true.

I have looked at the teaser charts but does anyone agree with me 4 team teasers are the best if one was to bet a teaser?

Depends on odds offered these are not standard. If two teams is at +100 and 4 at team +300, then I'd disagree. (actually now reading your next sentence I see you're talking about monster/sweetheart teasers) in that case most times for sure 2 teams will be better.

Of course i'm assuming any teaser you play from 2 team to 4 team pays are somewhere between -120 and +100. But i would feel much comfortable playing NFL 4 games 13 point teaser as oppose to a 2 team 6 point teaser. 10 Point 3 Team Teasers are great as well and i believe this is the 2nd best option. Anymore than 4 team teasers in the NFL is just asking for too much trouble.

You need to read up on teasers and learn the basic math behind them. 4 team 13 point teaser at -110 you need each leg to win more than 85% of the time to break even. This is like a 4 team parlay with each team -570. Finding 4 teams in a week that increase win percentage enough to make this a good play will be impossible to find.

What about the NBA? I think 4.5 point 2 team teasers are pretty useless. And i feel lot more comfortable with a 3 team 8 point teaser or 4 team 10 point teaser in the nba than a 2 teamer.

I have no idea what the odds are on 8 point or 10 point NBA teasers so wouldn't know.

Is there any chart or math that shows which team teasers are the best? If you are talking about 2 team, 3 team or 4 team teasers, i feel that 4 teamers have better chance because much more points even though you need to hit more games.

flawed thinking here, I'll PM you some links that can help you out.

[SBRMAN23]

I agree with what you said unless your real sure on those two teams but then you would probably just take them flat

[the_situation]

16 is kind of a useless line....the Jets game has blowout potential

Pats -2/GB +9-10 is the best tease imo

if u wanna do a 4 teamer

Pit +10
Atl +10.5 or GB +15.5
Pats +4
Ravens Under Teased or Packers Over Teased

[8ArIvd5]

Bal +9
GB +8.5
GB/Atl U49.5
NE -2.5

+300

[HauntingTheHoly]

I think two team teasers are best, actually. Obviously you only get 6 or 7 points vs. 10 or 13 with 3 and 4 team teasers, but you ALSO only have two outcomes that you need to feel really good about. That's better than having four outcomes that you feel really REALLY good about - I think.

What are everyone's "most confident" 6 point teaser outcomes this weekend? Is Pats -2.5 the strongest, or maybe GB +9? I think it'd be useful to see an ORDER of teaser outcome strength so others can weigh your opinion when constructing the best two team teaser.

[koscheckbaby]

Tease NE and Chicago. Both home against inferior teams

[Kindred]

Am i wrong to say that betting 2 team teasers is a terrible idea?

YES

You can have an edge with two team teasers in the NFL..wang teasers

[louvega71]

I would tease NE and Balt.

[GunShard]

I like the Ravens vs Steelers Under and Seahawks vs Bears Over in a 2 team 6 point teaser based on the ATS trends.

[dwang0725]

Tease the Pats down to 2.5. It crosses both key numbers, 7 and 3.

[rickbo528]

Pats +4
Ravens Under Teased or Packers Over Teased

I like this one.

[sharpcat]

If you were to put a little effort into learning something by yourself for a change you would use the search function and read through some past threads, there are hundreds of threads on the subject of teasers.

[TheCommish]

I would Tease NE and GB.

[KACK]

Packers +9
ravens +8

I usually don't tease games but combining 4 team is asking to lose your money... Stick with a 2 team teaser

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

2 Team Teaser (6 points)

New England -3
Seattle/Chicago Under 47

[HauntingTheHoly]

@MDucks - did you have the option of getting another half point for -120? What do you think of NE -2.5 and Sea/Chi Under 47.5 for that price? Better?

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Sent you a PM regarding this.

[LT Profits]

6.5 points = Packers+9/Pats-2.5

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

6.5 points = Packers+9/Pats-2.5

Like this teaser too...but the Falcons win SU

[GUMMO77]

The teaser I hit early was Chicago -2.5 and NE -1. Good luck

[sharp13]

never done a 10pt teaser before but i liked this one for -130

ravens+13.5
packers+11
patriots+0.5

[LT Profits]

ravens+13.5
packers+11
patriots+0.5

Too many unneeded points, I have the same three teams in a 7pt teaser at +150

Ravens+10.5/Packers+8.5/Pats-2

[steelers7889]

Pitt +4.5 Gb +12.5 and Pats -2

[LT Profits]

Pitt +4.5 Gb +12.5 and Pats -2

Never cross though 0.

[ShowMeDaMoney]

Teasing Balt +10 and NE -2.5 already. Considering doing the same play with GB +9\NE -2.5 for same amount.

Way I see it I'm looking at a 1-1 worst case as long as the Pats win the game by 3+. Of course, as always, any given Sunday.

[blackbox]

BEARS and the PATS would be my play in teaser.

[Shafted69]

I like the NFC Favorites + JEts + Steelers. And no teasing & take the points. Good luck!

[DragonTrigger]

I only bet two team teasers at 7 or 7.5 points. You're wrong about two team teasers being only six points. At my offshore book they take two team teasers up to 20 points for football and 16 points for basketball. This week i took Pit +4 and Atlanta +6. I don't understand why some people say not to pass 0 on a teaser. Last week i had Indy +4.5 and Balt +4.5 and passed o on both of them and that teaser won easy. All i'm doing this week is turning two home team favorites into home team underdogs.

[donutsinthesky]

Balt + 9 under 43
Patriots -3 under 50
Bears-4 over 36
falcons +3 over38

Because you are losing a full point of value. So you are paying for a 7-point teaser when the move from -2.5 to +4.5 is really only 6 points. This is because a line of +/-0.5 doesn't exist, so the moves from -1 to Pick and from Pick to +1 should only each be counted as 1/2 point movers.

[MadTiger]

Tease the Pats down to 2.5. It crosses both key numbers, 7 and 3.

True that. Smart teasers 101.
