    Why do people say "stay away from teasers"?

    What's so bad about them?

    And some people don't even like parlays either

    the typical 6 point teaser only helps you win 30% of the time

    Not worth it/. Got to win both, but having said that I know teasing off the 7's and 3's in nfl has been hot this year.

    because the odds of each leg hitting is not equal to the odds you pay for the teaser

    eg say a 2 team 6 points teaser is -120 (54.55% implied prob)

    Lets say I tease Tampa +3.5 -110 With Indy +10 -115

    Tampa +9.5 should be around -233.6 70.02% implied prob
    Indy +16 should be around -224.8 69.21 implied prob

    .7002 * .6921 = .4846 (48.6%)

    so you are paying for something that hits 54.55% of the time when your two bets will hit 48.6 % of the time

    of course there are some teasers that hit > what you pay

    Mainly b/c 90% of bettors use them incorrectly i.e. Crossing the zero, teasing totals, not teasing to get passed key numbers...

    Stay away from Parlays.

    Teasers are good as long you don't tease through the zero too much.
