ATTENTION: All teaser players!! IMPORTANT!

[Fishhead]

This is mainly directed at beginning teaser players, but it is surprising how many people that have bet teasers for a long time dont really understand all the rules. My recommedation.....READ ALL TEASER RULES AT ALL YOUR SPORTSBOOKS. Almost all offer different odds and rules on how they handle TIES. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!! THE MAJORITY OF SPORTSBOOKS OFFER REFUNDS ON 2-TEAM TEASERS IF ONE OF YOUR SIDES TIES......EVEN IF ONE OF YOUR SIDES IS A LOSER!! When I would grade tickets working in the sportsbook in Vegas, you would be amazed at how many patrons throw this type of ticket in the trash!! Again, a 2-team teaser with a TIE is graded NO ACTION even when coupled with a LOSER. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND ALLOW YOURSELF TO READ ALL THE RULES AT YOUR TEASER SHOP.

GOOD LUCK BATTEASERS!

VERY IMPORTANT STUFF AND THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH OUR POSTERS, FISHHEAD...

Now If I may add to what you started....

Since many sports books are competing for your business, you should not lay more than the following for these teasers:

1-TWO TEAM SIX POINTER- NEVER lay more than minus $1.10 and like Fishhead mentions, you need to make sure that a tie on one game along with a win is a PUSH....

2-THREE TEAM SIX POINT TEASERS- You should ALWAYS get back 9-5 odds for this...

3-MONSTOR 3 TEAM 10 POINT TEASERS- You should NEVER lay more than minus $1.20...

Last but not least, if you can go through the number 3 TWICE in Football, especially so for the NFL, you have an edge on the sports book...

at Casablanca, a 3-team teaser with 1 tie and 2 winners is deemed a loss!

CASE IN POINT EXACTLY!! BOOKS RULES ON TEASERS VARY GREATLY!! READ THEM CAREFULLY!!

From Hollywood:
Any two team teaser with a winner and a tie or no action is considered a tie. Any loss in a teaser is a loss.

From Royal: Any tie in a Two team teaser results in "NO ACTION", whether the other team wins or loses.


These are an example of teasers with ties with losses. In the first case Hollywood a tie with a loss loses.

In the 2nd case, Royal a tie with a loss pushes.

This is big, essentially another half point.
Example: Say you have the Cowboys plus 10. They lose 24 to 14. Your other team loses. At Royal you push and at Hollywood you lose.

michael, I believe the ones that do offer 4 teams at 13 points 11/10 have the ties lose rule, as do almost every book on 4 teams 13 points except Pinnacle, in which ties push, I'm pretty sure.

I've ALWAYS thought the rule "a loss and a tie is no action" was a stupid rule. (Sure, nice for the player, but the rule make no sense.)

Here is why:

Player loses the first game/bet.
Now, for second game, the player is in the unusual position of rooting AGAINST his team covering the spread!

He has to hope for a tie instead of a win. So, by his team doing worse, he somehow does better on the wager.

Getting a worse outcome from the team you picked should not give a better result to the wager. Once there is a loss, the entire bet becomes a loser.

Ties on any teaser game at Pinnacle and the bet is a push. Four team 13 point teasers are 13/10.

I like books that give you total control on how many teams you want to play and how many points you want.the greek is the best for control but juice is not customer friendly.My fav is 5 dimes
