Lesson #1: Here is the reason why you should never bet teasers!

[playersonly69]

It always seems to happen to me too!

Date:	Team:
Nov 04	NFL [415] DENVER +1½-110 (B+6)
Nov 04	NFL [421] BALTIMORE +3-130 (B+6)
Nov 04	NFL [427] DETROIT +1-110 (B+6)
Nov 04	NFL [429] CHICAGO +1-110 (B+6)
Risking 496.96 SBR To Win 1267.25 SBR

Now i bet that one with a poster, but let me post my other teaser that I bet in the SBR book.


I dont bet teasers often, but the last 2 times that I did it at 5Dimes, ALL GAMES WON on the regular spread. The points were a waste of money

[playersonly69]

I sure hope that New Orleans loses by 3 points! Then I will feel better because Dallas is going to win ouright tonight

Hindsight is 20/20
I would say your real problem is teasing through 0

You teased through 0 on all of them.

[tto827]

You do not take advantage of teasers, that is why you feel they are bad. You go thru 0, and buy too many bad numbers and not enough good ones.

Lt or anyone else...care to explain what teasing through 0 is? I really don't know and since I play teasers it might help

[Chi_archie]

they are called teasers for more than one a reason

Teasing a favorite to a dog. Like if you teased a 5 point favorite to a 2 pt. dog, you "crossed thru 0". There are so many dead numbers on both sides of 0 that it is rarely worth it. My question for people though, what if you go through both threes, does that make it acceptable or still not?

[LT Profits]

turning a favorite (-3) to a dog (+3), you are paying for 2 points from -1 to +1 when is really only 1 point because -0.5, PK and +0.5 are all the same thing

[DrStale]

Those are the squarest looking teasers ive ever seen. If that's how you bet them then I agree that you should never be doing it.

[Bluehorseshoe]

[slambam]

Yea in this situation if you didn't want to lay points, you probably shoulda parlayed the MLs. I think all were around -200, which would have paid out about 2000 rather than the 1267 you got.

[WvGambler]

Even the blind get paid sometimes

[spankie]

....

wowzer.

[str]

Learned about teasing through zero before I was able to vote.

Thanks for the lesson.

Best of luck in the future.

[nvrlose37]

You could also simply add a small parlay of the teams picked. That way it doesn't happen and you can hit the 25-1 odds.

Hist first one hit and his second just needs the last 2 to hit. Even if the last one loses, he's still up.

But I got Baltimore at +3, actually +3.5 with the poster

lol


How can one have 5,000 posts and not know basic teaser strategy? Everybody knows this

[playersonly69]

Well I know one key strategy. No more teasers that is for sure

[LT Profits]

Not true either. Stick with either Wong Teasers, teasing -6 or -6.5 if it is cheaper than playing ML, and some special 5 Dimes only (as far as i know) teasers.

[DrStale]

Meant in how he played the teasers, not in the teams he chose. Still a bad play overall.

[Emily_Haines]

Never tease through zero

You should have lost just for that

Actually, one of the special 5 Dimes teasers DOES go through 0, it is the one and only exception as far as I know.
