Haven't bet a teaser in over 10 years.

Teasers are in deed a sucker bet IMHO.


If you like the games that much, just parlay them for a little bit less. I believe in the example above, all 4 games would have covered the original spread

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"

i believe bodog has the same deal in FB 4 team 10 point teasers, you can get some easy looking bets.

Blue:

Everybody has an opinion. Most seem adamantly against 2, 3, & 4 teamers, period. I play three team 8 pointers and four team 10 pointers. The cushion is not always necessary, but great when you would otherwise lose. More recreational money, than anything serious...... somewhat like 4, 5, & 6 team parlays. No mortgages or pink slips involved!

BK

I play basketball teasers all the time!

A pleaser
