How to Bet Teasers

This wagering type is offered in basketball and football and it is somewhat similar to parlays, as you need all of your teams or selections to win in order to collect.

When there is a tie on a teaser, most bookies will grade the full bet as a loss, while there are a few that might lower the number of teams in the wager, therefore, it is convenient that you ask about this when you decide to deal with a particular company or individual.

There is a big difference between parlays and teasers however, as a teaser wager allows you to play with the betting line of a given game, either increasing it or decreasing it in order to give you an advantage over the original line posted by the house.

When it comes to teasers on hoops, the spread can be moved four, 4.5 or five points. A teaser on basketball can be made of two to ten teams, although this might vary depending on the bookie or sportsbook you are dealing with, as most will limit teasers to only 6 teams.In football, a player can choose to move the betting line either six, 6.5, seven or even ten points, but the payoff is reduced by every half a point the bettor takes.

For example: Let’s say that we have a game where the Jets are -10 against the Patriots, here bettors have the option of moving the line either up or down, in this case we have a 6 point teaser on New York going down, which means that our line will now be -4 instead of -10. If the final score on the game was Jets 40, New England 33, we have a winning wager, as when you subtract 4 points from New York, you will still beat the Pats 33 points, however, if we would had taken the line as it was with the -10, we would had lost the wager, as our new score would had been 30, which is 3 points shorter from the Patriots final score.

As supposed, the payout for a teaser is lower than that one of a parlay due to the advantage you are given.

When handled properly, teasers can make you some good cash, though you need to pay attention to certain elements that can truly make the difference such as the amount of cash you are laying on each teaser, how often you play them, and the quality of picks on each teaser. Take a good care of these details, and you will be on your way to acquire some good earnings.
