Aloha Winbet, no offense taken. I will always try to explain why I do something, as best I can. I have nothing to hide. As far as your comment about people who play teasers not having any confidence in their abilities. For some people that may be true. For me, in regards to these games, I felt the line was very sharp and that after capping it out, I was basically left with a feeling that these games could go either way. Sometimes, the lines like I mentioned are so sharp that it makes it alittle difficult in backing one side over the other.
Their is great value in playing Teasers during certain times of the year, as I do not play them every week. During the playoffs, like these where the line is very sharp, I see a value in playing them. Still, as you can see I also as well played the sides and the halftime line for the first game. Still, yes the Teaser for me does as well provide me abit of insurance if somehow things go opposite of what I am seeing. Thats why in these games I am on both sides, especially in the first game, where the extra points provided some outstanding values that I couldnt ignore. These points not only gave me alot of value, it also gave me an opportunity to cap out a game using different numbers. This allows me to sometimes move on to a higher percentage plays in my opinion, something that the straight number wont allow.
Sometimes in certain games, I like to take the control with the points and have my selections be based on the points I put together, instead of being stuck to what is posted by the books. I am not sure if I am coming across in the way that I am trying to. But to answer your last comment. Take a look at my thread and the different plays I put in. I think that I am definately going for the throat, or at least I am trying to. When I see an advantage in my favor, I will definately take advantage of it. But you need to do the work so that you are always prepared for when the opportunity arises.
Lastly, by no means is my decision to play Teasers a reflection of my lack of confidence in playing it straight. As you can clearly see that I also played each game straight as well. I have never heard someone state such a thing, so this was an interesting post. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. If you have anymore questions or like me to comment more on something, dont hesitate to ask me. GL and Aloha CC.
