Do you wager BASKETBALL TEASERS????

[Fishhead]

If so, WHY?

 

[SamOdom]

Yes I do but later in the yr.

 

[glenrobinson]

Fish,
Personally, I learned at a very young age not to play any teasers (the hard way of course). In fact, I simply elimate it as an option.

My question to you however is that I know you are a big fan of NFL teasers. In your opinion, what makes these any better than a basketball teaser?

thanks for the input,

Sam

HELL no.

Never did but im thinking of popping a couple of 7s down tonight.

KEY numbers in the NFL hit at a greater frequency.

Mathematically, certain teasers with the correct odds are overlays in the NFL..............RARELY does this occur in basketball.

 

[BuzzRavanaugh]

I used to play them in games where the totals were low, however I never did very good with them so I quit doing it after a while.

 

[Ironman_8]

NO. It seemed to me the 4 points never made any difference in the result and kicked myself for not parlaying the two (or three games).

 

[just_me_sam]

Fish,
Can you please provide me with an example or 2 as to what the key numbers are and what correct numbers would be considered as overlays to be exploited? I'm always interested in learning something new:thumbsup:

thanks again

Key # in NBA is 7 because 4 can turn into 7 pretty quick.

 

[Iceman]

I have heard the key number is 7 in hoops because it is more than 2 posessions. Teams that are winning that want to put the game away need a 7 point lead because trailing team would need the ball 3 times tie or take the lead. When he says key he is not talking key numbers like in football but a number that seems to hit a little more than most.

no to teasers with the exception of the NFL and they are golden.......

Two years ago, I experimented with teasing both sides of two college basketball games at 5 Dimes. Ten point four-team teasers at -120. All I had to do was find two games that I thought had very sharp lines and would land close to the number. I teased a lot of 10 point fav's down to PK and +20. That kind of thing. I had incredible success. But D2Bets is pretty sharp and said that I was still betting at a disadvantage. I don't know. I'm not convinced yet, and may try it again this conference season and see what kind of success I have.

 

[Fishhead]

ILLINI--interesting.


At times TEASERS can be considered a play by looking "BEYOND THE MATH"...........if that makes sense.

At some point in time, we will discuss teasers in depth together.

That is interesting. I think this can work situationally. Blindly it is definately betting at a disadvantage. I think this is along the lines of what Fish is thinking also, but not sure.

Sounds good, I'll look forward to it.

Yeah, it was very situational. 4-team teasers sound hard to hit, and are hard to hit. But when you bet them like I was betting them, they really became a two-game teaser. I just looked at lines where I really felt the number was right on, and the game would probably play out and end real close to either side of the number. I played one a night for about a month, and it seemed easy. I haven't done it since, because it seemed like I was the only one that has ever tried this, and the advice I got was that it was a bad bet. Mathematically, I'm sure it is. But situationally, I just am not convinced yet.

 

[Fishhead]

Illini--you have come a long way the past 2 years as an apprentice wiseguy.

Very impressive move up the ranks in that short timeframe.
