Actually, maybe I answered my own question. Ill bet Intertops is just quoting you the total payout including your intial bet whereas sportsbook gives you the winnings.

you should not worry about the difference. Only thing is that this is not going over...

I just went in and placed a 7 point teaser for tomorrow nights MNF game.

Intertops:
$100 bet: Giants +14.5 and over 45. Potential winnings: $176.84

Sportsbook (the site Ive been using up until today):

$100 bet: Giants +14.5 and over 44. Potential winnings: $76.92

The only difference is the over at Sportsbook is 1 pt less on the over. Why is the potential payout so much better with Intertops?

Something is still wrong here.

The odds on both of those bets are -110

Giants / +14.5 / -110
Giants vs Saints / over / -110

If you bet $100 on (Giants / +14.5) AND (Giants vs Saints / over), you should be getting paid $364.46 INCLUDING your $100 bet. This is a 2 leg parlay.

The $76.92 is what you win if you ONLY bet Giants / +14.5 / -110 (Without the over)

Pay would be the same if you took the over....-110 (Without the spread).

Did you parlay those bets?

Actually, in order to get paid $76.92, the odds would have to be -130

He got 7 points, in Football that is -130.

Its only -110 if you get 6

So is that -130 for the 2 leg parlay or -130 for each bet because he teased each bet 7 points?

The way he stated it, it sound like he placed a 2 leg parlay. To me, that means -130 for each bet.

Should pay = $213.02 + $100

Am I wrong?

The total odds of the teaser is -130, not -130 for each play and then you multiply them together to get your final odds for your bet. You're thinking of a parlay - not the same thing.
