i think your playing dumb with this question.If you have been gambling for any such of time then you know all about teasers,parlays,etc,....so all this is doing is getting people to discuss it.If you want a topic discussed the just pose it that way,but don't act like your clueless to teasers.
huh? not sure what you mean. I know how a teaser works, never implied I didn't. I'm questioning why some people think playing a teaser is a better option than playing those games individually. It's a forum, I would think kinda normal to pose something to get the dialogue flowing...what would make you say I was trying to act like I was clueless on what a teaser is?
Teasers can be very profitable in the nfl. So many games come down to 1 or 2 plays and the lines are so tight. Year in and year out I examine my nfl record and the teasers are usually profitable and betting against the spread is a losing proposition. If you don't like teasers don't bet them but don't knock them. There is a reason most books have adjusted the payouts on teasers.
This is how I used to play em , pick my game of the day and then find the favorite either sunday night or monday night that I think will steam the most. Play it for a dime. Hit your play of the day and watch the late fave move up and fire the dog for a dime. Used to like the 6 pointers at even money if it made sense. You can end up with an 8,9,10 point middle and you are risking a hundo to win two dimes. All you have to do is hit your best play of the day!
You want to play teasers? Play overs in the NFL and you'll make a killing. I have. So many games go over the original number now do a 6 point (I play 7 point teasers) Don't believe me?
Look at last season and the season before that and see how many games you would have won picking over just throwing darts pick 2 game teasers. I hit a 5 gamer, all overs. Overs are the way to go in the NFL for teasers.

In order to win a two team teaser at -110 each leg would have to win on average 72.37%. Teasing down is fairly easy to figure out. First figure out a no-vig line. What I do is plug in the Pinny ML on the game in a no-vig calculator http://sportsbettingsites.org/betting-tools/no-vig-calculator/ to get the percentage.
Now if you tease down from 7.5 to 1.5, you'll lose on the 1. The 1 is worth approximately 2.25% so deduct that from the no-vig line. If it's greater than 72.37%, the leg is good.
Teasing down from 8.5 to 2.5 means you lose the 1 and 2. The 1 and 2 are approximately the same so deduct 4.5% from the no-vig line.
