Bobby and Sammy are on here every night with these damned teasers, Bobby is getting hammered, Sammy is doin ok for the moment but long run this is the wrong way to play the game. They started posting more and more around the time you were releasing teaser cards and have since then been all over these things. If you notice coach had reverted back to straight plays as of late. These things will eat your bank roll extremely fast, they seem like an easy opportunity off the bat but the books only offer them because they are a sucker bet. If teasers were beatable books would not offer them boys, just a fair warning. Maybe Justin can show some type of math on this subject.

dude, I said this 10,000 times today, I rarely bet teasers. I bet 1 yesterday, I bet 1 today, the last time before yesterday I bet a teaser was over a month ago.
I know about teasers and not to do them often
This is a useless and dumb threadComment -
Sammy you take things very personally pal, teasers will kill you and are killing Bobby this is a general thread warning against the dangers of teasers using you and Bobby as an example, you should be happy this will help other young guys avoid these exotic wagersComment -

No problem, just for examples sake though we will use yours and Bobby's teasers from tonight as examples here-
Bobby played 3 team teaser 2 of which covered the teaser as well as the original spread and one of which lost instead of making about $100 tonight he lost over $100, $200 + swing,
You bet $325 to win $250, all 3 of your plays covered the original spread, had you bet all 3 straight for $110 or about a third of your teaser bet you would have made about $50 extra dollars or parlayed them for the $325 you risked tonight (also sucker bet but i rather play that than a teaser personally) you would have won almost $2000, so on straight wagers the book was given an extra $250 in revenue not lost between the two of you and if you had just parlayed sammy the books would have lost an extra $1950Comment -
They are beatable, just not for basketball. Well, they are technically beatable in basketball but it would take some extreme circumstances and even in those cases it would be borderline insane to use them instead of straight betting or parlaying.If teasers were beatable books would not offer them boys, just a fair warning.
If you're betting 4 pt bball teasers at -110, you're basically buying 4 points for 150 cents on each game and parlaying them. To put this in perspective you can buy 3 full points at BetJam on basketball for 60 cents.Comment -
I stopped betting them, I had one hot streak and thought it was easy money then lost it all back. I guess once in a while you can play them if you have a big edge.Comment
