Patriots playing on Monday night again

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

math? I have taken enough bets in my life to know. In addition, years ago we tracked teasers and you would be amazed how many times the points do NOT come into play. It's a bad bet.

We all have some gambling fetishes', mine is ML Dawq parlays, love to play them but don't do it very often

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

Agree except the -6.5
Have to cross the 3 and 7

Back in the day I used to parlay big favorites to the over on high totals and dogs and under with low totals. Now the books wont let you do that.

If it is not to their advantage they wont allow you to do it.

At Bookmaker they used to let you parlay the third quarter line with the second half line in the NBA. I killed them with those bets. But hey you will get some other person come in here and say never play parlays......of course it is based solely on their opinion.

Like I said dont post any facts or data on this forum.....it is never well received......doesnt matter what the subject is.

After consecutive days of negative COVID-19 test results, the New England Patriots returned to practice Saturday morning.

"We're looking forward to having everybody back in the building today," coach Bill Belichick said ahead of practice. "We've gone several days without being able to work together as a team."

Belichick indicated that quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore -- two of three Patriots who tested positive for COVID-19 within the past week -- would not be practicing on Saturday. Belichick didn't speculate on whether they will be available to play in Week 5.

NFL Network's Michael Giardi reports that CB Devin McCourty is also not at practice but for reasons not injury or illness related.

The Patriots are scheduled to face the Denver Broncos on Monday night.

I agree, but god forbid one of these guys takes this home to overweight granny and she dies. huge lawsuit, IMO.

Some of these pros house and take care of everyone, granny included and it would just get ugly.

I think everything should go back to normal and just have the strong survive, this mask shit and walking on egg shells is close to death.
