Suppose you were an advantage player and could pick nfl games slightly above break even; say 53% win rate. Would it make more sense to bet 2 team parlays rather than single game point spread bets?
Considering the actual odds of picking two games winners is 3 to 1 and most outs only pay 2.6 to 1 (unless they've become more competitive lately) the answer to your question becomes painfully obvious. When it comes to teasers I wouldn't know where to begin to calculate "actual" odds, but I'm sure the book offering it has and he loves that you and I can't! Chances are the built in juice is astronomical comparatively speaking.Suppose you were an advantage player and could pick nfl games slightly above break even; say 53% win rate.

I admire you Queen.
You take a lot of shit but just keep coming back. BOL turning it around, season is still young.
Question for you that you don't have to answer but you said you only burned through about 25% of your bankroll. You have a $20,000 bankroll? Good for you if you do, wish I had that range. Unfortunately I'm around $5,000 could probably stretch it to $10,000 but I try not to get crazy.
BOL QOH
How many people actually have a "bankroll". I know a lot of gamblers and not one, including myself, have no such thing. They all bet and play until they lose so much they cant afford to pay and start making payments. I dont know one person that has a certain amount set aside only for gambling and when its gone is %100 done betting.
Do you post those hockey picks all season or until the BR is gone?
NFL Teasers can be quite profitable if you understand numbers.
That might be the dumbest thing I have ever heard in 40 years of betting sports. Just a heads up to all you teaser players....the house edge in teasers can go as high as 55% (depending on final score), whereas the house edge in a 2-game (or any # of games) money line parlay is 0%. That's simple math. There isn't a person on earth who can overcome the house edge in teasers. NOT ONE.
Boss415 stated the only way to ever play a teaser. If the house offers an exotic bet (teaser, hard ways at the craps table), it is not to your benefit. Play teasers and you are playing into the house strengths. Look to play into the house inefficiencies instead of strengths.
Ask 500 sportsbook owners what they would rather take action on, a teaser or parlay and 100% of them would say parlay without hesitation.
If you bet teasers and/or buy points, you will get murdered. But the funniest part is that 99% of all teaser players will read this and still bet them next week.
MCM,
