Anyone ever play the torture teasers at SKYBOOK? 17.5-1 odds for a 3-teamer

I usually play them for a few bucks (25-50$ a shot) on NBA totals....
You give up 5 points on either the spread or total and have to choose a minimum of 3 teams....

On Football it's 7 points

It's usually difficult with one team always screwing you...This one is alive tonight...

Same for me...usually lose...but I think this win will pretty much make up for my losses and even give me a little little profit....They are fun....but difficult!

good win.

thanks for posting

I'm just curious if anyone else dangles in this...or if I'm the only sucker

You must infer that I only play these....You never wager on anything for fun? Now Now.I know better....

Playing some of these every once in a while never hurt anyone....If your bankroll is too small to support entertainment wagering than I will forgive you...:finger:

odds look bad to me with some back of the envelope calcs.

I couldn't believe it when the Bulls stole the inbound pass down 2 and would have tied it and sent it to overtime...then I would have believed posting is a jinx
