How Do Teasers Work

 

A teaser combines three or more point spread wagers into a single bet and allows the bettor to adjust the spreads favorably. The bettor gets to choose how much to adjust the spread, but that adjustment is the same across every wager in the teaser. The suspect is first met by the laser guide, which can reach a distance of about 7.6 metres. Once positioned, the officer can pull the trigger and deliver a shocking shot. Bursting from the gun’s cartridge, two needle-style probes propel through the air to pierce the target’s skin.

  • A $100 teaser on this 3-team, 5-point teaser would have a payout of $150 in winnings. The exact payout schedule and whether a tie results in a push or a loss can vary across online gambling sites. Because teasers move the line so favorably in the direction of your choice, they do come at a price.
  • A teaser (or a ' two-team teaser ') is a type of gambling bet that allows the bettor to combine his bets on two different games. The bettor can adjust the point spreads for the two games, but realizes a lower return on the bets in the event of a win. A teaser is a type of wager used in sports betting, most commonly in basketball and football.
  • How do teaser campaigns work? The good thing about Internet teaser campaigns is that they can be adapted to any kind of communication platform. Social networks are a very popular channel, and also very inexpensive one if you do not have a large budget to launch the campaign.

Although a little more advanced than a normal moneyline or spread bet, NFL Teaser Betting is fairly popular at sportsbooks during the NFL season. Teaser bets account for over 15% of sportsbooks handles for NFL betting, and is continuously becoming more popular.

NFL teaser betting is more common with intermediate or advanced bettors, but it isn’t a hard concept to understand – I will explain how NFL teasers work below.

What is a NFL Teaser Bet?

A teaser bet is a group of straight bets (two or more) combined into one bet, where each individual line has been shifted to your favour by the number of points of the teaser.

There are three main NFL teasers – 6, 6.5 and 7 point teasers.

In a 6 point NFL teaser the line would be shifted by 6 points in the favour of the bettors play. For example if you wanted to take the Ravens -8, it would be converted into Ravens -2 within a teaser bet. The spread was shifted 6 points (from 8 points down to 2 points). Another example would be if you wanted to play the Chiefs -2.5. In a 6 point teaser the -2.5 line would be changed to Chiefs +3.5.

The same rule is applied for 6.5 and 7 point NFL teasers, except, of course, the line is shifted by either 6.5 or 7 points instead of the 6 points shown in the example above. NFL teaser bets must include two or more bets “parlayed” (cannot do single teaser bets).

NFL Teaser Example

Here is what a two team 6.5 point NFL teaser bet would look like:

Your selections: Pittsburgh Steelers +3 and Dallas Cowboys -4.5

In a 6.5 point teaser these would then be changed to: Steelers +9.5 and Cowboys -2

In order for you to win the teaser bet both incomes would have to be correct. If one selection was a push the bet is often refunded, but some sportsbooks will count it as a loss if the other selection lost (check your sportsbooks‘ rules).

Below is another example of a teaser bet that I recently placed and won. I teased the Vikings and Eagles from +2.5 up to +8.5 in a 2 team 6 point teaser.
