    Boys, tell me what you think of Memphis to win outright
    Memphis straight up over the Clippers. A poster wrote to me explaining that he had 2 of three legs in a 3 team tease already in with Memphis being the final leg. Thus, he has them + a half point. What percentage would you hedge of this tease with the Clips currently getting about 5 1/2 points?

    It's really more of a middle than a hedge but I advised him to protect himself. I'm wondering, based on the teams playing tonight, what percentage of this bet you would put on the Clippers. Do you trust the Clippers? Do you trust Memphis? What say you SBR?

        I don't understand teasers that well but what is the difference between +0.5 points and -0.5 points? Why didn't he go down another point to get more value?

          For a two team teaser in hoops you get 4 points. For a three team teaser in hoops you get 6. The line was Memphis -5.5 therefore he got +.5. The half point means nothing either way because they cannot tie.
