Question about basketball teasers...

Giant, I just saw Chris Paul try to give Pat Sajak a "gangster" hug on Wheel of Fortune. It was the most awkward thing i have seen in a long time. More awkward than that time behind the bleachers in 92.

Seaweed, this is a serious thread where I'm looking for serious replies.

With that said, please don't ever speak publicly about what happened on that fateful night behind the bleachers during the fall of 1992. It's been over 20 years. The allegations were never proven to be true.

Using half point calc I get the fair price of the spread around -408.5 for each leg so

-408.5 (80.33%) * -408.5 (80.33%) = 64.53 % =~ -182

Thanks.

I was just looking for other prices from books. I can get -140, which seemed like quite a deal. I was kind of shocked.

Yeah that is a good deal. Books I checked were in the -180/190 range.

Is that with a local? you should bet those everyday

I would use 5dimes and Pinny to find out what numbers they value more than others and then just pound the teasers

Here's the shocking thing: these are offered at Bookmaker.

I couldn't believe it. Usually they gouge the hell out of anything.

DSI was having issues offering things meant for football only on basketball bets. I made one and they said that I could keep it but that I would not be able to see these offerings in the future. Dunno if its a similar case, but if the odds are that good and you do start winning, expect them to disappear.

Hmmm....that's a little disconcerting. I haven't bet any games yet, I just found out about this last night.

I don't think it's a football/basketball situation though, the odds are mentioned on their information page, it's pretty cut and dry.

If you broadcast it like this they will change it. Ask Fishead what happened to ABC Islands years ago.....

Its a different situation, I played a 3 tm pleaser for real small just for fun last night, but they said they would no longer be offered. I had golden st -1 in a 6 point pleaser, so I went to live chat since 6 points would have put GS at -3, and I didn't want to have it voided if it hit. And after a bunch of back and forth, they said it was a mistake and they only are supposed to be for football.
Mine was a major sucker bet anyway, so I have no clue why they felt the need to stop them, but anyway.
