While pleasers aren't really popular wagers for most bettors, they can be very profitable if they hit.
I've personally used pleasers in the NBA where I find them to have more value, but with football approaching, maybe we can look together for Week 1 & see if there's any value to be found......:toast:
Pleasers - A pleaser is a group of football and/or basketball side straight bets combined into one bet. The difference between a pleaser and a teaser is that with a pleaser, the line you bet against for each individual wager is moved against your favor from 6-7½ points. If the regular line is -10 and you play a 6-point pleaser, then your line would be -16.

Pleasers Payoffs - Pleaser payoffs depend on how many teams are in your wager. Payoffs are shown in the table below. If there is a tie in one or more of your individual parts, then the wager steps down to the next lowest number of teams.(Payoff odds below are samples from 5Dimes.com)
