Sweetheart Teaser Issue

[Hotpizza]

I've been following a thread on another forum and wanted to see what you guys think should happen.

You place a ten point three team teaser.

You took Houston+, Pittsburgh+ and have New England+ on Sunday

You win Houston

Pittsburgh gets ultimately moved to Tuesday and the book states that any game not played on it's original day is declared no action.

What should take place with your teaser. Note that Sweetheart teasers don't reduce from 3 to 2.

You have to win New England
It is a bet you can lose but not win
Total bullshit
I started a thread on it

This happened to me in week 5 of NFL.

I had New England and game was cancelled.

I won the other 3 games and it was labeled a “push”. However it 1 of those games lost, I would have lost.

after the fact, I read the rules and it’s explicitly stated. I still think it’s a BS rule.

Sounds like a Bonus Play for the book. They can't lose and you can't win.

Should be called bitter-sweetheart teaser.

Intertops reduces the teaser and has a reduced payout. Better than the freeshot the other books take.

 

[BeatPete]

Teaser should be cancelled once the book cancels the whole game.

 

[HarryCaray]

Should be reduced to a 2 team 6.5 point IMHO

So the book continues the action and if New England covers you get money back that you laid however if it loses bet is graded a loser despite wager being cancelled due to Pitt game being date change. Yuck that is shit

That is correct. Whatever your bet is it's to win $0 while the book wins your money if the third leg loses. It's a major tilt to the sportsbook.

This one surrounds Bovada and others were saying other books just cancel out the teaser no matter what, it's a clear no action with bet refunded.

A real head scratcher why they would want to screw their customers that way.

Sadly the people who run and moderate the forums are down with this rule
lol
They think it is unfair to cancel the wager and force you to bet something you can only lose through no fault of your own is fair

I don’t know of any books that cancel special teasers when a game gets cancelled

I was about to take the broncos +28.5 but was too nervous about game being cancelled
