Parlays and Teasers???

[Moose21]

Hey guys I am relatively new to sports betting, been doing it for a couple of years with some success but not a lot. I find myself playing 3-4 games that I like and I always bet a 3 or 4 team parlay. During football season I always do a teaser 3-4 team as well. I guess my question is, are teasers and parlays sucker bets?? They are nice when the hit but if I want to have success in the long run should I not play as many in a parlay?? Can anyone suggest a system that I can use for plays that may be more successful than what I am currently doing? Your input is appreciated. Thanks Fellas

i really love parly, im not a fan of teaser so. Usually i just do like 4 parly 4 or so for 5 bucks or 10 , just for the heck of it, that way it keep me from betting all the games wiht big money, and let my focus only the best games.

i've hit a few parlays this year also. i do the same thing as you, i bet 4 games for a buck each and parlay the 4 for a quarter. i enjoy betting it this way, as i have not been exposed to big losses by keeping my bets the same. i tail all my plays from the guys around here, and trust me they are the best!! no service could do better.

Thanks for the response Skyz and KR. Perhaps I should lower the amount on parlays and teasers. KR, I agree there are some great consistent Cappers on this site. Always check here before I make my plays.

I've always said value is value. If you kind find value in a teaser, that's at your discretion. Personally, I don't play them, but I can see where in a rare situation it is the correct play. I do think college teasers are a terrible bet.

yeah, i've learned that college teasers are tough. the damn spreads are so high!!! You may be able to tease 8-10 pts, but you'll still have to cover 23-21!!! I have had good luck with teasers this year, but a lot of people will tell you, and i tend to agree, that the way to make money in the long run is to bet straight. Good luck any way you go!!

T.P and Angry Inch thanks for the responses. I definitely do agree that college teasers are a lot harder than NFL. That's what I was looking for, some advice since I have never asked anyone that question. Good luck guys!!!!

I like to string a parlay together of all the games I want to bet but am unsure of...that way for some crazy reason I hit all the sides I thought would win I get rewarded w a huge payday. I always like to have a 4,5,or 6 teamer alive for like 20 bucks to win a thousand but I'm a gambler before I'm disciplined so dont take my advice. Technically they are suckers bets but who gives a shit, it's only betting and capping or no capping these end up being coinflips at the end most of the time so take a shot once in a while. But if you truly want to make money, I'd stay away from the parlays and teasers and just bet straight because all those types of plays do is make the odds go against you. GL Moose

Pick 3 games..........

Play em individually for 1 unit each...A, B, and C
Parlay A & B, A & C, and B & C for 1/2 unit each....

Tease the same...A & B, A & C, and B & C for 1 unit

then a 3 team parlay 1/2 unit

then a 3 team teaser for 1 unit......

I used to do this a lot.....If you can hit 2 out of 3, you're doing ok....If you should sweep, you can see the results.....If you hit just 1, you lose your ass........

I only do this when I see a lots of games, and there is 3 or more that really stand out to me..........

I did this method for years........worked fine for me.........Many a 2-1 day, a few 0-3's. and a few 3-0's.........The 3-0 days more than make up for 0-3 days cause you have parlays in there...........
