Which has a better payout?

In regards to NFL, which usually has a better payout between 6 point teasers and ML parlays?

a 2 team 6 point teaser is better than a 2 team ml parlay.

a 2 team 6 point teaser is better than a 2 team ml parlay.

Is it the same no matter how many teams? For example is a 5 team 6 point teaser better than a 6 team ML parlay? I guess it would matter on what the MLs are

It all depends on the odds. A 2 team 6 point teaser is ALWAYS -110 (at least on my book). If you have a -230 and -150 ML parlay it won't pay out the same as if you were to have a 2 team ML parlay with a -450 and -260 for example.

5Dimes still has 2-team 6 point teasers at +100 (even money), but they adjust the lines so it's harder to tease down huge favs like the Saints this week

If you tease down a fav to say -1 it's basically the same as taking a -241 ML because at +100 you need around 71% of your teaser legs to win in order to be profitable long term, which is why getting the +100 matters over -110

Two team teasers give more value. You have to find the best team to tease on for that week.

For Week 3, definitely add the Patriots +3 in a teaser. It's a steal in my opinion. Patriots are a Top 5 NFL team.

In general, to get the most value out of teaser you need to cross key numbers in the NFL which are 3 and 7, and 10 less so

I looked at a 2 team teaser this weekend of 2 nfl teams favored by 7, vs a 2 team parlay where the ml were in the -300 range so they were about the same bets. The parlay payed less than the teaser.
