Teasing across Zero and other myths

Now that was a good read.....here are some blurbs.............

If negative, you're looking at a poor tease possibility. For instance, look at teasing from -11.5 or -12 down to -5.5 or -6. That teaser won only 47% of the time, which is 26% less than you need to actually earn money as a leg of a 6 point teaser.

The best 6 point teaser is teasing RIGHT ACROSS ZERO with a -3.5 or -4 point favorite and making that team a +2 or +2.5 point dog. It's hit 10% more than taking a -2.5 or -3 point favorite and making them a +3 or +3.5 point dog. Typically, you would think "why would I want to tease to +2.5? Wouldn't I want to make sure it was at +3? And you would think so, but based on historical lines, you would be wrong.

lmao youre so wrong , see wong teaser

teasing across zero is not "a myth"

it's also a terrible idea every time, and the reasoning is obvious. You're wasting the points around zero.

Teasing -3.5 to +2.5 has to be one of the dumbest gambling ideas of all time. If you don't understand why, then you are hopeless.

I read that whole fricken article. I am going to read wong teasers.

unreal...

Only time I tease across zero is if the home team is -1.5 and tease it to +4.5.

You sure you want to admit to that abomination?

Teasing across zero is a no no.

Exactly.

You are giving away points dude.
Game can't end on a tie in college, there's like 2 ties every 5 years in pros.
So you by teasing across zero from 1.5 to 4.5 your only numbers are a 1 point win, or a 1, 2, 3, or 4 point loss.

Yes I do. Road teams rarely win by more than 4 points if they are a small dog.

A lot less than that. Since 1997, there have only been two ties. Two ties in 13 seasons (1998-2010).

I'd say 1 tie every 5 years would be a more reasonable estimate.

Teasers are simple. You need to get the maximum value you can for your points. If you tease across zero, or even down to zero, you're hurting yourself. +.5 and -.5 and 0 are worthless.

Yesterday I never teased through zero....but I teased SD and Jets down.

You mean like Tampa -1.5, losing the game by 7?

Don't tease -1.5 across 0. Do consider teasing +1.5 to +2.5 up to +7.5 to +8.5. There is very little difference between 1 or 2 point favorites or dogs. But there is a very big difference getting your teased leg at +8.5 instead of +4.5.

The numbers simply don't pan out teasing -1.5 to +4.5. Ever!

I teased SD down too. That line was prime for a teaser.

duly noted, makes complete sense but i'm a newb with potential

Teasers all math

Only high level math guys beat them

One of pavy's dumber posts, and that's saying something.

Only +EV teaser that crosses 0 is 5 Dimes 6-point ties WIN at -105 for +3 to -3.

Should read from -3 to +3
