A 2Game Or More Teaser That Let's You Distribute The Points Separately To Each Game However You Like

HacheMan · May 12, 2009

Has anyone ever seen or known if such a teaser exists?

If not now, maybe back in the day.

Let's say you have a 3 Team-7pt NBA Teaser that gives you, of course, 7pts on each team you choose.

What if, instead, you simply had 21 total points, and you were allowed to spread the points out however you wish.

Example:

Regular 3Team 7pt Teaser
Chicago Bulls +3
NY Knicks +5
Phoenix Suns -3

That now becomes:
Bulls +10
NY Knicks +12
Phoenix Suns +4

But, what if the software gave you a dropdown list of numbers that allowed you to choose how many of the 21 points you are given to go towards each game, such as.....

Original Lines
Bulls +3
NY Knicks +5
Phoenix Suns -5

I decide I want to go with.....
Bulls +8
NY Knicks +10
Phoenix Suns +6

You are really not gaining any advantage over the book as you naturally lose value on one or more games if you put the majority of points towards one team, but I believe it would draw more interest than regular teasers.

This would be especially interesting to use in football.

If such a teaser has never been offered, in your opinion, would the juice equal or compare to regular teasers, or should they cost a little more?

Interesting. I would say double juice.

Wow, you really think that high FW?

I wouldnt think the price should be much more than that of regular teasers/special teasers......

I had a feeling back in the day they had something similar.

Really not sure why some books don't add something like that/this as I think players would enjory and/or play them more than regular teaser. Even though your not gaining much of an advantage (I can see an advantage in football) it's just the fact players would love to be able to control where they want to place their points...

Would have to be huge juice.

Betting NFL this way and crossing key numbers exactly would be worth way more than standard teaser juice.

No way in hell a book would offer this for NFL.

2 team 6 point teaser @ -110???

Just too many ways you could use 1-2 points to cross 3 or 7 and still have 10-11 to use on last leg.

pretty much why the 40 point scramble got kyboshed......games are 7 1/2 10 1/2 13 1/2 and 2 1/2 go to - 1/2 - 1/2 -2 1/2 and + 14 1/2.....not to good for the book

When I was in college, a BM in Norman used to book 4 team 14pt teasers -110($500 limit). One Sunday, I keyed Miami(down to pick) in 4 $500 teasers and they lost on a last second field goal. I had to hock everything I owned at a pawn shop where I played poker on Monday nights. That wasn't the first or last trap I got myself into.
