I've seen the light with NFL teasers...

[yisman]

What teaser would be better in your opinion?

Tease Green Bay to +10.5 would be one half.

The other is tricky.

don't say I didn't warn you...

I've got Baltimore +7.5 and GB +11 on one play and the following 4 on another.

Balt +8
GB +11.5
NYG -2.5
Pitt +8.0

I think it looks decent?

1 win and 1 to go.

I always get screwed when I tease sides. I teased 3 Overs.

Football - 405 Baltimore Ravens/Cleveland Browns over 26½ for Game
Football - 417 Atlanta Falcons/Oakland Raiders over 31½ for Game
Football - 421 Philadelphia Eagles/Seattle Seahawks over 33 for Game

Just tease any game you like. Don't worry about crossing the 0. **** all that bullshit.

this thread cracks me up. after playing many teasers today, some of which I was sure couldn't lose, I can tell you this. teasers suck because:

1) you have to sweat out at least 2 + games
2) they pay crappy odds
3) most of the times the points only help in one of the 2 games, meaning if you had just bet the two teams straight up and one lost you'd still be almost even

here are some of my teasers just to give you an example:

Tenn +3 (Points helped)
Buff +1 (LOST BY 8 POINTS WITH THE TEASE)

TB -2.5 (points helped)
Jax -.5 (LOST BY 3 POINTS WITH THE TEASE)

Hou +11 (points helped)
Stl +9 (LOST BY 19 POINTS!!!)


teasers suck because they make you think you are safer but in reality its a dumb bet. if you notice, in my 6 picks above, even though 3 out of 6 teased bets won, ALL 6 BETS would have lost straight up. maybe I should just bet the opposite side of each teaser leg instead straight up?

If you tease the correct numbers, teasers are great.

Out of all of those you listed Tampa was a good leg. None of the other ones were.

Went 4-0 with teasers today. And have a couple pending with Pittsburgh +8.5. Tease the right numbers and they are golden.

Teasers are profitable if you know what you are doing. As element said, your teasers all used games that shouldn't have been teased at those numbers.

2 wins but the thing that irks me is that they didn't need to be teased.

+EV teasers are raping me at the moment. On the other hand, +EV pleasers are ballin'.
