Hey Tekari:

The 2T 6Pt. Teaser IS indeed at EV money as a perk for our post-up customers. You should have been able to grab that teaser at EV, please shoot me an e-mail at will@hollywoodsportsbook.com or gimme a call (ext.707) and I'll get this situation straightened out for you in no time.

BTW, Thanks for the heads-up, we'll look into it, so the situation doesn't repeat itself.

2-team 6 pt teaser has zero juice for the book.

The chance of single team winning given an extra 6 points is about 70%. The chance of both winning is .7 x .7 = .49 = 49% (let's call it 50%, since original 70% is approximation).

So, basically, winning both plays in a 2-team 6-pt teaser is a COIN FLIP! If you were to pick your teams randomly (have a monkey do it or close your eyes) you would still come out winning/losing 50/50 on 2-team 6pt teasers. Offering even money (effectively NO JUICE) is just asking for trouble.

Not only can the book not expect to make money (and get hit by the sharps), but they would get killed in the bonuses. A player can deposit, randomly play 2-team 6pt teasers, roll over their money, and collect their bonuses.

This is clearly wrong.

If you gave 6 points to every NFL team for the last 20 years it would give you about 67% winners.
There is a lot of juice built in.
+100 6 point teasers need a 70.7% winrate to just breakeven.

Lurker-
The recent years are more relevant here because the lines are so much sharper. Look at it for the past 4-5 years, and you will see that your 67% number is way off.

Great discussion guys and I can see both of you have made your points across. But this offer of ours, the 2 Team 6 Pts. Teaser @ EV $$$ is indeed offered to our customers.

This is done as a gratuitity for our post-up business.

The core of the matter here and answer to Tekari's question is that we DO indeed offer this perk. It it was dealt any other way for a post-up customer, it's a situation that we will gladly get starightened out.

Now, please apologize my interruption and go on with the discussion, for I'm sure it will be of great value for many players in this forum.

Thanks,

P.S.: However, I'd suggest to review the stats for the last 5 years, because as Java suggests the Internet, the availibility of info -as a direct product of it- and the arbitraging of some books have sharpened the lines in the industry. But the players have sharpened up too)

Yes. This is clearly a perk for the customers. Of course, many will play 3-6 teams, parlays, hunches, local teams, etc., so you'll get it all back.

Just watch out for the super-sharp wiseguys. Put them back on normal teaser payouts. No need to do them any favors. For the squares, this keeps them interested and gets them liking teasers.

Sharp guys don't get this deal, Java. We welcome professional action and we pay unfailingly, but we will not give a professional player the perks and bonuses that were conceived for recreational players.

And the guys understand, as a matter of fact, not only do they understand, they appreciate that we run our business in a professional and responsible manner. It only makes us even more trustworthy.

Yup definitely, but it also would be fair for you to wine-dine us, if you're trying to screw us like that...
