Should I play NBA teasers?

[TheGeneral+]

Seem easy enough getting several more points in your favor. The games sides and totals seem to so often land on the number.

What are you thoughts?

Thanks

General,

I like playing them just for fun....I have gotten burned so often on totals with teasers I just play sides now. For example just the other night with the Hawks - Clippers game, the total was 194' so I put them on the 15 pt monster teaser card at 5 Dimes; it was my only total out of the eight selections. I teased it down to 179' thinking it would go way over...but noooo, the number landed around 167 or something. It was the only loss on the teaser card.

There are so many teaser options out there you just have to search and find one you like; but they are fun.

Only conditions I would play NBA Teasers....


1.... Only sites that offer 5 - 5.5 - 6 ..... instead of the most common 4 - 4.5 - 5


2..... Pinnacle NBA Totals (Much better bargain, 2.5 points MORE than other books on the totals)

3........ 3 team teasers at TC Bets

3 Teams - 8 Points -110

*ANY loss in a teaser results in a losing wager. Otherwise, if there are no losses, ties revert on all teasers to the next lower teaser. If no lower teaser is offered, the bet will be graded "No Action"

NO!

4 points on NBA games is absurd.

No. If you absolutely must, why not just go ahead and buy 3 points (-110 to -170) and then parlay if you wish. Even at +100 the odds on the 4 point teasers is -240 per leg. Why would you want to pay -170 to -240 for 1 stinking point? NBA teasers are ripoffs.

I've always thought the same exact thing. I don't know who in the world the person was that paved the way for NBA teaser odds, but he must of been out of his mind........

Good feedback guys.

Much appreciated

I've always done fairly well with NFL teasers but I never could see any advantage to playing NBA teasers. 4 or 4.5 always seemed like a ripoff to me.
