Phlew so you became a smart guy and you made money...Good to hear...I'm not a fan of 5-8 team teasers because the actual odds are not in your favor(payoff wise) but two team teasers can make a winner out of anyone in the NFL unless they are the ultimate Ham'n Egger football picker.
Another good tool recently is the 3 team 10pt teaser. Many books now have made this wager @-120 and where if you tie one play it's considered a push on the whole wager. This is a nice play and can be another profitable tool in ones wagering strategy
Just remember, 2TEAM /7 POINT TEASERS CAN BE A GAMBLERS BEST FRIEND IN THE NFL...( I do not recommend them in college football)

Anyone like this teaser?
Pitt +8.5/Det +8.5
Pitt +8.5/Det +8.5
Sure why not if it meets the criterion. At this point the following teams meet the criterion (or did at one time), good luck figuring out which ones to match up and use. GB, NYG, BUFF, ARIZ, PITT and DET. The whole system breaks down with this scenario, as that's 15 teasers to cover them all.
Depends on where you play that teaser and how they treat pushes for sure. Me, I would rather it move and take the -2 1/2,
or the - 1 1/2 and have the numbers working without the push.
Interestingly in Las Vegas a two team Teaser that has one leg that pushes is no bet, not matter if the other leg wins or loses.
The sweepers are always looking for tourists who throw away there two-team teasers tickets because the first game loses. If they can get a push in the 2nd game, they get a refund for the ticket. Can be a nice addition to your $10.00 an hour job, if you get an ocassional refund on a $500 ticket!
If you are considering the "Wong" type teaser (also referred to as Basic Strategy type teasers) this simply consists of using dogs from +1.5 to +2.5 and favorites of -7.5 to -8.5 in your teasers. Several years back , one of the the authors on this site wrote a thread about just this topic. It was determined that simple Basic Strategy, or Wong teasers, were not the most profitable. And since many are discussing the value of the "juice" in this thread, and profitable outcomes, I thought I'd bring the subject back.
It was then documented by the author of the thread that the highest percentage chance of winning these teasers was by using ONLY RD of +1.5 to +2.5 and ONLY HF of -7.5 to -8.5.
If we apply that to your list of suggested teams, there would currently (I say currently as the lines may change) only be three qualifiers: GB (-8) and PIT & DET (+2.5)
Once again, some lines may be changing, in which case teams like PHIL and SF might move into the playable category. (Lines from Pinnacle)

Anybody do any research or have any thoughts on kind of a reverse Wong stratgey for 2-team 6-point "Pleasers"? it On first glance, getting +600 when moving favorites from -7 1/2 to -13 1/2 crosses a lot of dead numbers 8, 9, 12 looks like it could be promising. Wouldn't be a lot of plays, but curious, anybody ever seen the math on this?
just do a search for my threads on teasers, all the info and data is included along with a simple explanation of how to win with teasers. two years of plays every weekend showing a large profit...
wong or bs teasers are not a viable option any longer.
its hard to get a reliable local, even more difficult to find one that accepts teasers. To get one that deals 6pt even money teasers, probably easier to just go searching for that pot of gold under the rainbow
Certainly can't argue if you have had historical sucess with the play Akillies, as i talked about in an earlier post, it just doesn't seem logical, and the push value of the numbers that it crosses, doesn't seem to to generate enough positive EV, but you can't argue with your success.
I bet 2-team teasers in Las Vegas because of the favoriable push rules, tell me how do the online books handle a 2 team teaser when you are moving from -2 1/2 -130, instead of -2 1/2 -110 on one or both legs. Do they treat both bets the same? IE - Can you lay $110 to 100 on both?
