    READ THE RULES AND THEN RE READ THE RULES BEFORE PLACING A TEASER BET. ANY TIES WHERE books treat a tie as a loss instead of no action is KILLING YOU RIGHT THERE

      College football teasers are among the worst bets out there to make.

        It's ridiculous talking about whether you love teasers or hate them. It's all a matter of number of points, and the odds. I bet most people here wouldn't mind 2 team 10 point teasers for +100. I bet most people would hate 2 team 5 point teasers for -150.

        Talking about teasers in generalities is meaningless. It should always be a function of the different variables.

          I am also a sucker, For some reason I like to see Rams +24 on the teaser and they still manage to lose

                i'm def. no expert - but there are ways of having a +EV (expected value). you gotta read a book or 2 or wade hard into the tank. you will not find prolly half the ideas Durito and others have found without your own database (building mine now) - but you will not be a sucker anymore.

                not sure bout you guys but sucking big cheesy bookmaker's nuts is not my idea of a good time.

                    Teasers are very beneficial in NFL, because the lines are already sharp to begin.
                    Tease both the Colts and Chargers for 6 points this Sunday, and you won't be disappointed.

                        I didn't know teasers were thought of as a sucker bet. I just started betting online at the start of this football season and so far I see real value in betting them. I've won on a bunch of them, the only one I've been screwed on was last week where I did a 4 team teaser and had the Cardinals at +20 and they got destroyed.

                        I don't understand the animosity toward teasers. They seem fairly easy to win if you bet right, like last week I did:

                        New York Giants vs. Indianapolis Colts Over 35½
                        Indianapolis Colts +8
                        New Orleans Saints +7
                        New Orleans Saints vs. San Francisco 49ers Over 31



                        How can the above 13 point teaser be thought of as a sucker bet?

                          It never feels like a sucker bet when you *win*

                            What Book offers 2 team 10 pointers for +100? Does that actually exist somewhere?
