I've heard people say for years that these are "Sucker" bets and i IMO think the only suckers are the ones who refuse to play them.
I play mostly straight wagers in CFB and mostly teasers in the NFL. In the College game, many more games are decided by wide margins. In the NFL, not many are at all. I played 8 teasers in the NFL this week and went (6-2). My only 2 losers were teasers involving Philly. The other teams with philly in both teasers all covered.
Mix it up with 7 or 10 pointers. You will be amazed at how it works for you (IMO). I saw many guys here Sunday that were miserable with how many games ended and if you look at all their plays, almost every team they played would have covered on a teaser.
There were 16 games this past weekend with a total of 32 teams playing. Well, 27 of those 32 covered on a 7 point teaser. Think about that for a minute. 27 of 32. The key is not to put the same team on too many teasers. Take all the teams you like and pair them up.
Teams that you like who are favored by 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10, put on a 7 pt. teaser and bring it to -3 or less. The 4-6 point faves turn to +1 to +3 and you will be amazed at how many teams win by 3 or less or lose by 1 or 3 to get you a win or push. Take teams favored by 10 or more and link them up on a 10 point teaser and turn it in to a pick or -1 (for -11) or -2 (for -12) and so on. If you like teams that are favored by -3.5 or less, put those on a 7 or 10 pointer. You can turn that in to +3.5 or +6 or +7 because many of those games will be very close throughout.
Obviously dogs bark even louder when you take those same numbers and turn a +1, +2 or +3 in to a +8, +9 or +10. You take teams getting +7.5 or more and suddenly you are getting over two TD's at +14.5 and up.
This works for favorite players and people who love to play dogs as well.
Obviously like anything, you can't win every week but i truly believe it will increase your chances. I could go on and on but i will leave you with one more thing to think about.
There have been 5 MNF games so far this season, involving 10 teams. ALL 10 Teams have covered a 7 point teaser. Every single team that has played on MNF this season, has covered. In 3 of the 5 games, you couldn't lose if you played either side and either total O/U. If you add the 10 teams that played in 5 games with the 10 O/U options in those same games, it totals 20 teaser options, and 18 of 20 have covered a 7 point teaser.
That means if you played a 7 pt. teaser on every single MNF game this year, you would have been guaranteed 3 of 5 winners and most likely more if you picked the right O/U side in either or both of the remaining 2.
18 of 20 on MNF guys. Seriously, think about that for a minute!
I know most will think i'm crazy and wasting my time but hey, we are all here to help each other and i think for some, you may find it interesting and profitable.
