Biggest sucker bet on the planet. I've been preaching that for years. Caught a gambling segment on ESPN last night andChuck Esposito, manager at Caesars Sportsbook agreed. I have never bet a parlay or teaser in my life.
well everytime one of these threads come up ill say the same thing....sharpest NFL bettors the last 10 years or so have made much money betting teasers........i.e. walters baxter mr.h etc. etc.
yes this is true.. also they did a lot of their damage with 3 team 10 pointers which is why the juice has been changed over the last few years to favor the books more.........these were a borderline losing proposition for the bookbut, as you know steak, there is a sharp approach to teasers ... and an incredibly square approach to teasers. and its fair to say that 98% of teaser players fall into the latter approach. so books will always welcome these players with open arms.
similarly, there actually is something to be said for successful anti-public betting. unfortunately, this new trend has created so many squares that think theyre sharp by completely guessing with bogus 'percentages' on every game on the board that true winning contrarians are hard to find. but there are PLENTY of losing contrarians who go to bed at night thinking theyre siding with the books and they are basically giving their money away.
as im sure you would agree, books know there are a small % of winning teaser players out there. just like they know there is a small % of winning contrarians. but they also know that a massive amount of squares who are convinced theyre sharp are just waiting to give them money (along with 10%) every time the lines are posted.
if you already know this why make original post if you dont want responses.......fyi i think you're an idiot
im not pissed and you're never right....You are pissed because you know I am right. I could care less what you think about me. I'm just stating my opinion. I see them posted all the time on this site and they almost never hit. How much are you up in you're lifetime betting parlays and teasers??
