THE CLOSER said:fishhead, and everyone else, what are the teasers you are playing the most? what type? I have hit a high percentage in the 3-team 10point nfl teasers thus far...just wondering what yall were cashing?
CHOPTALK said:Is a 10 point 3 team -110 teaser a smart play? I dont play teasers very often but when I do I do fairly well with the 10 points but usally get killed on the 6 pointers. Even when I do win a 6 pointer it would normally win in a parley which gives me a sick feeling knowing I could have had 13 to 5 odds by just playing a parley.
To me, any square could make money in the NFL betting teasers, if they only picked the huge favorites at home, teasing 6, 6.5, or 7 points. Very simple.....is this 9 point favorite at home going to win the game? Is this 8 point favorite at home going to win? 2 yes's, and it's a bet. And it wins more than it doesn't. I don't know how books make money on teasers, and I hope they stay around forever. But I guess some books in Vegas no longer offer them, so maybe it's only a matter of time. I hope the idiots keep teasing -3 to plus 3, so that they stay around.
Poker King Jim said:If you would have 10 point teased NE and Pit last year with various third teams (Ind, Phi, SD), you would have made a killing. How many times would NE and Pit not have covered with the extra 10 points? I think once each (Pitt at Baltimore, NE at Pittsburgh).
Millennium Sportsbook * said:And how about when NE lost outright down in Miami last year? How about those guys that used NE this past week in 21-point teasers and thought they were stealing?
Believe it or not, this IS the weekend to make your teaser plays. Taking teams that are slight underdogs by 3 points on the road (which technically tells you that they are the better team to begin with) and then teasing them up across key numbers such as 4, 6, 7, and on 10 or better. That's what the "sharp" teaser player does!
