    teasers are pretty good. rarely like to go with a marginal favorite to just win.. wasnt too confident in the bears yest so i got the Lions +15 in a 8 pt teaser for this past weekend.. ill take the +15 rather than the bears +1.. leaves you with more outs IMO.. just my strategy.. i would have an awesome record with teasers unless i didnt break my own rule and take Green Bay +1/2 against the colts earlier in the season. the amount of blowouts in the NFL is scarce these days when you pick your spots so its a good method i think

    Right on. nba works great too (bb is 10 pts on the 13pt card). If the suns are +6 against the jazz, id much rather have suns+16than jazz +4. but yeah picking your spots is important. As for nfl i heard a stat on the radio that 71% of nfl games are/were decided by 7 pts or less, however idk the time period it was referring to (this year maybe?)

    I've been making most of my money on teasers. almost doubled backroll in 4 wks. was never a fan, but I like winning. If it ain't broken don't fix it. totaly agree cfb totals, doen't. I try to find tight games in nfl... bla bla bla...2daBank summed it up nicely. also, buy points to cross key pts. on the plus side of 3, 7. sometimes 10 and 14 . that has made my season so far. until proven otherwise will continue...hopefully make more money. just last wk made money teasing chi,min,stl,cin,car,tb,cle that otherwise would have lost or push. buying .5 pt on cin and tb was dif. between win or push +7.5. I realize thats just a small sample. It has helped in 4 previous wks i've bet too. recently, comming off a 10 yr hiatus making bets. not much to go on. will do more research. It also saved me a some $ in college games. my focus will be nfl though. just luck? any thoughts and insights are welcome

    As long as the Teaser is 2 teamer and does not go through the Zero. It should win most of the time.

    that was nice looking card, didn't play miami game and went other way on dal and oak even though +12 looked funny but i really liked jax. btw, they all hit. never played more than 6 tms 6pts +600, hmm 7 teams +800 thats the max teams i can play. wheres a good book for teasers? trying to learn all i can.

    5dimes best for teasers. You can do up to 15 teams and get anywhere from 5 to 20 pts. You can choose ties reduce or win/lose. You can also do open teasers, meaning u could select 6 team teaser but only pick 3 games this week and fill in the other spots next week (or any day and with other sports)

    IMHO I try limit my points of failure. I believe in the long run you need to pick your best tease or possibly 2 but you MUST resist the temptation to spread = teaser death long term.

    lol. so far haven't resisted that temptation even though my head knows that. playing w/house money so prob. continue whats making me money. 1-2 bad wks might change that thinking. esp. if bankrool gets closer to even. when that happens ill come back for the "I told ya so". when".... like that possitive thinking? I'm a former degenerate. thats why I took 10 yrs off. playing small time now. trying to have a little fun. way to much free time. retired. spending less time in bars. my pool game is suffering though. hmmm... once a degenerate always 1?

    nfl crossing the 3 and 7 is all you need to worry about with teasers. Totals are alright for teasers but outside of the previous scenario, teasers are sucker plays IMO.

    Just really got started. Early lean Sea +14.5 and I had a total but left it at work. Will try to post some early leans tomorrow for debate. The banker almost saved me last week but I got lucky and squeaked one in.

    Can't say enough about Banker and Biff's input and threads. Always positive and great input.

    Disagree and hopefully we can change your opinion. It's just not 3 and 7. See my Sea lean +14.5. 10,11,13,14 huge numbers.

    10, 13, and 14 are good numbers but you don't have to pay extra to buy off them do you? That should say something

    Never say never but I do not buy pts. To me it's -ev long term for the number of actual times it changes your fate.

First 12
