I have seen lots of posts saying teasers are for suckers. Especially College football teasers.

What about Pro football teasers?

How bout basketball teasers?

Only one of the above three sports is good for teasers.

Teasers are usually sucker bets and should mostly be used in the NFL. If you see two teams favored by a touchdown, that's a decent tease. Avoid crossing zero (don't make a 4 point favorite a 2 point dog, etc...

I agree with what KC said, I only tease in PRO football and only to cross 7 and 3. 7.-8.5 point favorites are prime teaser candidates for me.

Last week after teasing Indiana down to -2.5, I may never play another college teaser.

I use teasers as a cover for straight bets. NfL mostly and I look to cross as many key #'s as possible. For the most part Teasers are sucker bets.

Hit 4/6 teasers on sunday, this year has been much easier than others.

I will only do football teasers, I would never touch basketball. Usually the teasers I like to do are 2 teams that are 6-7 point favorites so they just have to win.

If you hit them they are cash cows. If not they are sucker bets.

This NFL season has been awesome teasing the dog, compared to most seasons. A lot more games seem to be closer than normal.

I have been hot with teasers but I guess mainly for suckers unless doing 2 teamers
