    Can Someone explain a "Teaser"

    This probably sounds so stupid to all of you, but I always just go with the spread or the O/U. I never understood the teaser.

    If you chose a two team parlay and then a 6 point teaser, which way do the points shift to?

    Thanks!

    The points change the line for everything. Just add or subtract 6 points to the sides and totals. Then pick the side you want to bet.

    Example: Last night I did a 6 point teaser with Balt and the Over. Line was Balt -7.5 and the Over was 35. I teased the points down to -1.5 and Over 29. BUT I could have taken Pitt +13.5 and the Under at 41. Both would have won.

    So when you tease 6 points do you get the 6 points on both sides?

    watch for example purposes only...

    First choose how many teams in the teaser...lets say 2.

    Next pick how many points, lets say this is a 2 team 7 point teaser.

    Ok...next

    Now you choose the 2 teams you like...say you like Minnesota -10... you take 7 points off the -10 and your first teaser choice is Min -3.

    Now you choose a second team.... say you like ten -3, now you add the points...and end up with Ten +4.

    So your 2 team 7 point teaser would have been ...

    Min -3
    Ten +4

    If both cover you win...as in this case... You may also want to see how your book grades a push/tie...some grade as a loss!

    But in this case this example teaser is a winner...

    so what is the benefit of playing teasers (besides obviously making your bets a little safer)?

    wouldn't it pay out less than a regular parlay?

    They usually are -120, which means if you bet $500 you win $500 or you lose $600

    They are not always safer because both teams have to win, it is like a safer parley

    some books have any where from a 6pt to 13pt teasers with up to 15 teams the more teams you play the higher the payout is

    you could bet both sides of a game on a teaser

    the line on tonights game is
    new orl-1-1/2 and the total is 57
    you could bet a 3 team 10 pt teaser as follows

    new england+11-1/2

    over 47

    under 67
