20 Point Teasers??? Profitable??

ebbearsfb1 · 09-15-11, 01:20 PM

Agree with red... 4 team 10 point teasers.. or 4 team 13 point teasers, both better

yisman · 09-15-11, 01:29 PM

What are multi-chance teasers?

keppppp · 09-15-11, 02:20 PM

I think I will give these a try! Thanks.

Teasers seem to hit more than straight bets

It's easier to hit a 4 team teaser than go 3-2 straight betting.

You can get one of your teams wrong and still win. Some you can get more than 1 wrong and win.

So 14 out of 15 still wins.

Its where you can get X amount of plays in your teaser wrong and still win. To see this, scroll down on the 5Dimes teaser page. They have multi-chance teasers and pleasers.

TONS of options for it on 5Dimes. Here's an example-
10 point teaser with 1 incorrect needs 8 of 9 selected hitting to pay plus money, with a tie counting as an incorrect pick.

didn't even know they had 20 point teasers geez. you must have to pick like 7 teams to break even right?

GunShard · 09-15-11, 05:26 PM

2 team teasers are profitable.

face · 09-15-11, 10:29 PM

redskins -4
ravens -5.5
bears +7
cowboys-3
falcons +3
texans -3

lakerboy · 09-15-11, 10:47 PM

you gotta love gold. he will find anyway possible to get people to lose there money.

Oh, Heritage has Almost Parlays. Similar concept I guess.

GunShard · 09-16-11, 03:19 AM

Teasers are more profitable than Parlays for sure.

fataliz · 09-16-11, 03:32 AM

nice......

slacker00 · 09-16-11, 04:53 AM

Dang, this thread made me bust out Wong for the first time this year. It took me 5 minutes to find it, it fell behind the bookshelf. But the correct page was already marked (pg 254) with a ramen seasoning packet.

First of all, teasing spreads is pointless because you are pretty much teasing across useless numbers versus a 14 pt teaser which teases across too many useless numbers in it's own right. So that pretty much leaves totals and it only makes sense to tease downward to take the over. So, optimum strategy means playing the board with a bunch of games in the O18-O28 range. Looking at last week's NFL games, it looks like you'd have won the bet doing it that way. Maybe due to the lockout, the offensive dominance trend will continue and this teaser can actually be a bet worth riding until the defenses catch up!

yisman · 09-16-11, 10:11 AM

Numbers on spreads are usually considered more valuable than numbers on totals, though.

mr.inpak · 09-16-11, 11:55 AM

you will lose in the long run the juice is to high kc-buffalo balt-cinn last week

pavyracer · 09-16-11, 12:18 PM

Ohio St +23

Needs less college and more NFL. NFL way more predictable.

Everyone knows teasing NFL is way more profitable than teasing CFB.

Pavy, where's Atlanta +? lol

Tech N9ne · 09-16-11, 12:25 PM

Its a sucker bet

did anyone predict that pitt would score 7 and lose by 28 (same for chiefs)? where as if you take a 20 pointer you can have boise st at a pk tonight. no brainer vs who knows what the outcome will be

Another reason to stay from College is the mindset is to run up the score to look good for rankings while nfl the mindset is to run out the clock to win the game.

like i said yesterday, for a 20 point tease, with all the college games there are tomorrow only 9 of them would still have a - number. is there a chance some of those 18-20 point favs lose? maybe. but i wouldn't bet on it.

Then ML parlay all these "easy" games and collect money.

No need to worry about mix and matching spreads

you're missing my point. the 20 points is a cushion for the "just in case". something tells me boise won't need a "just in case" 20 points tonight. whereas some nfl teams (kc, pitt) coulda used the 20 points and still would have lost.
