Just my opinion, in football they can be used to your advantage on some occasions, but you are dead on Whale about basketball where you should NEVER tease a total....

Lotta bookes dont allow totals in BB teasers. If its a sucker bet, why not?

Guess what I'm saying is the SB is the most over handicapped event in sports (right up there with the derby) so a tease is a bet that they have the line right.
