      It's not old, it's just math. You paid extra juice for a 6pt NFL teaser, that's all.

        It's a 7 pt teaser and what's old is ppl saying "never cross zero" Yada Yada Yada. I've played many a teaser over the years where I bet a team down from -5 down to +1. Makes a huge difference because so many have won by 3 pts do they wouldn't have covered the 5. Crossing zero was smart

            crossing both 3s can be ok but 5 to 1 is about as dumb as it gets

              Ok so in that line of thinking, you won the bet by 4 pts(zero not possible) if you would have went by the standard rule not to cross zero you would have the other team teased from +5 to +12. They lost by 3 so you won the bet by 9 pts. The second option of not crossing the zero gives you less stress(winning the bet by 9 pts instead or a closer game spread by 4 pts) and you also didn't pay extra juice for numbers that are worthless... It's not rocket science bud. It's simple mathematical smartness

                PK and -1/2 are the same value as there are no ties in the Playoffs. +1/2 is also worthless. That is why you don't cross zero. You are paying juice for worthless #'s. You can't argue the math.

                  Buying "down" a -5 to a +1 is "smart" . Lol I love laughing in the morning.

                    Most NFL games end by 3 points then 7 points.
                    As long your teaser is +3 or greater than it's a reasonable teaser.

                        betting teasers have changed with the change in the rules geared toward offense. totals have gone up so point value has gone down. close games are fewer than it was before so teasers are harder to win now.

                          That's decent too but u have both roadies in that scenario and I've got the homies. Den catching 10 at mile high and carolina catching more than a fg at home. I like my wager

                            I'm going dog & over in the nfc game. 2 team nfl teasers are money. Big edge. Some spots even have 110 still

                              Sup Homie long time no see hope all is well. Youre paying for 7 pts, getting 6 true pts. Ive done it, like anything just gotta pick your spots, do dont it often, rarely, so that over the long run its not biting you in the butt. Teasing is about finding a better sense of comfort, but I agree its not a wise thing to do.

                                are you saying that most games end in either a multiple of 3 or 7?

                                  No. He's saying that deficits of three or seven points are the most common final scores.

                                      3 and 7 are still the most likely to hit despite rule changes. better recheck your push chart

                                          Arizona wins 27-16. About halfway thru the season Jon Gruden said on MNF that Arizona is the most talented team in the NFL. I think they win straight up....huge mismatches in the passing game if their protection holds up and I think Palmer will play much better than he did last week.

                                            Juice only -125 which isn't bad for a recreational wager of .25 units

                                                    There's an NFL article I read on the internet a few weeks ago.
                                                    Do your research unless you want me to find that article for you.

                                                      It's obvious that a field goal is 3 points and a touchdown is 7 points.
                                                      After thousands of NFL games, these will be the common outcome by a large percentage.

                                                        As long your teaser is +3 or greater than it's a reasonable teaser.
                                                        Broncos won by +2 and teasing like this is helpful.

I think they win straight up....huge mismatches in the passing game if their protection holds up and I think Palmer will play much better than he did last week.
