Losing A Basketball Teaser By 1 Point...

[BlurredOut]

Had George Mason -3 today in a teaser with NC St +11. George Mason won by 2. this is the third time this week I've lost by ONE POINT in a teaser. keep in mind, the opponent they played today (William and Mary), George Mason won by 13 last time against them ON THE ROAD. now at home they win by 2.

how the hell does anyone analyze these things?

does this happen to anyone else a lot? or am I just incredibly unlucky? I'm guessing the latter. I'm a very lucky person in real life, but that doesn't apply to my betting. oh well I guess I'll take the lucky in life instead. still blows to have a 6 point teaser that loses by a point because someone nails a 2 pointer with one second left.

betting teasers are generally -EV

Not trying to bust your chops...but the real question is why are you betting college basketball teasers?

[BlurredOut]

I did very well with them when the season started. now I ALWAYS get 1 of 2, with the other one losing by a point or two.

I'm not betting basketball teasers again, I assure you. I just find it absurd how often a missed free throw results in me losing.

I always lose ATS spread too.. guess I'm just using up my bank roll before I lose it all again.
shortly I'll make a 'fade me' thread. I think I'm 12-20 or something the past month. you'd be wise to fade my picks.

Everything is mathematically -EV or else it wouldn't be offered.

teasers in basketball are worthless.

Sorry to hear that but I've also found that teasers in basketball give the illusion your getting a fatter line to work with partucularly in your a dog player but the points get eaten up so match faster it seems....The worst is at the end of the game when the fouling happens and you lose by 1 or 2

this is not true

Bookmakers offer plenty of +EV situations on a daily basis. It's a matter of being able to identify what is +EV and betting it. Basketball teasers are generally going to be less EV than backing those same picks ATS.
