In This Video: If you want to bet on some games tonight, but you see that a couple of the spreads are really where you want them to be. teasing them is a great way to get those spreads to a place you’re comfortable with. And you can bet money on a teaser is a bet with multiple games where you’re able to buy points to add to your spread or your over under total to make your bet have more favorable odds. In other words, teasers are very similar to parlays. But with less risk and with less reward. I know this sounds confusing, but let me show you how simple this really is. Let’s say the Jets are playing the Patriots and the Patriots are seven point favorites later in the day the Seahawks are playing the Rams and the Seahawks are two point underdogs. The way a teaser in the NFL works is you decide if you want to buy an additional six, six and a half or seven points to add to those spreads. In this instance, I’ll buy six points and apply it to the Patriots bringing them down to minus one and I’ll add it to the Seahawks bringing them to plus eight. In this scenario you would need both the Patriots and the Seahawks to cover their new spread to win your teaser just like an A parlay. If one of those bets doesn’t cover the whole teaser loses as I mentioned earlier, teasers are at just four point spreads. You can also tease over under point totals in the same way. If we use these same teams and the Patriots jets over under a set at 49 and the ram Seahawks over under set at 51. I can buy six points and take the Patriots jets at over 43 in the Seahawks Rams at under 57. As you know when you place a bet on a typical spread or over under you typically get minus 110 as your odds. So what odds you get with these teasers it depends on a few things. But the general idea is the more points that you buy, the more money you have to lay. But the more teams you put on your teaser The bigger your payout is. Here’s an example of William Hill’s teaser payout table. So for betting at William Hill, the odds of our two team six point NFL teaser would be roughly minus 150. But once you add that third team, the odds jump up to plus 160. As you can see, you can bet teasers on basketball as well. But you can’t really tease lower scoring sporting events like soccer, hockey and baseball. There’s a couple of simple rules that I like to follow when I bet teasers first and I know this is gonna sound boring, but I kept my teasers at three teams and I usually only do two teams. The reason is because in any given NBA or NFL week, there’s usually only two or three teaser worthy games. What makes a game teaser worthy, at least in my opinion, is being able to tease that spread across the key number key numbers being the most common margin of victory or point totals in a gay so in the NFL, for example, the two biggest key numbers are three and seven. If you’re able to tease a favorite from minus eight and a half to minus two and a half. That’s the perfect use of a team you’re getting. They’re spread all the way down just below that key number. So if they win by three, which is one of the more common margins of victory in the NFL, you win your bet. So with all that in mind, you might be thinking that teasers are a really easy way to win money, you’re getting an extra six or seven point buffer on your bets like what could go wrong. Well, my friends everything can go wrong. It’s just like a parlay you have to pick several games to put on your teaser. And if even one of those games doesn’t hit, the whole teaser loses even with those extra points you’re adding to the spread or to the over under one blowout upset or one defensive struggle where you had the game as an over can tank your entire teaser bet that you thought was a lot and if you ever think that something in sports betting is too easy, I guarantee you’re wrong. Sports books have been around for this long for a reason they are profitable for a reason. So even though teasers seem really appealing, you still have to be careful if you’re new to sports betting and you want to learn more about it.
