that is actually not always true depending on the sports books teaser odds
wrote about this years ago on here and used stats to prove that you absolutely should tease but in only specific instances...those being home dogs of 1.5-2.5 and home favorites of -6.5 to -8.5 where you're teasing across the important numbers of 3 and 7 which account for 30% of all margins of victory
the one thing to never, ever, do is tease across pick'em (like teasing -3.5 to +2.5) because you are paying to tease off of numbers that don't count (0) and across -1 or -2 and +1 or +2 which almost never hits (only 9% percent of games are decided by 1 or 2). In that case just buy down to -3 or -2.5 which is far more meaningful than 0-1-2
yep, one game ended this year on 2 (out of 65...den/ten). one ended on 0 (cin/phi) and now 3 on 1-pt margin .... so right in line with a normal season with 6 of 65 ending 0-2 points
but congrats on the hit...i just wouldn't recommend that teaser strategy long-term
If teasers are so bad how come it’s so hard to find a sports book that still deals standard teaser lines ?
You would think if it was a sucker bet they would constantly offer ever better then standard tease lines .
But it’s the opposite .
Betting ats on the other hand they have plenty of books that offer better then the standard -110.
You have -108 and -105 at places .
You would think if you were correct sports books would not be constantly discouraging people from betting teasers.
But go ahead and keep feeling that way since once upon a time you read somewhere that teasers are 100% sucker bets without doing any math on the subject
