sharp teaser indicators

SportSavant · Sep 27, 2009

when you see a sharp book playing with the numbers....

such as one book who had the bears -1 -135 today, instead of simply hanging the normal -2.5.

this to me is obviously a clear indication that they do not want any teaser action on the Seattle side.

usually, I will then go to another book that is hanging the +2.5 and play a point teaser.

do others take these leads or indicators from sharp books to drive their teaser action?

Pinnacle does this with EVERY game that would otherwise fall in the 2 to 3 (low side) point range. I wouldn't read that much more into it.

i was doing the opposite at 5dimes, since they have -100 6pt teasers but deal lines which prevent basic strategy. so i started taking the opposite or the side getting the extra points. it did very well last year. of course bs teasers were a loser last year.
i have been doing it this year with no success. for example today taking kc +15.

i agree when it comes to pinny as they do it on every game. but other sharp books seem to be selective on the games they choose to adjust this way.

I have a very tough time teasing a "bad" team.I usually use home teams

a few places will never use between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 they will use 1-juice or 3dog-juice......and they wont use 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 they will use 7 -juice or 9 dog -juice.......it is 100% for teaser action the drop down is the same as other books.......this isnt a secret
