    It's my 'unscientific' observation that most teasers posted at BC lose. I haven't kept score but the success rate seems low.

    People should really track them, and not just the W-L record, but more importantly, just as in baseball, the UNITS WON OR LOST!

    The return is very poor, and usually the winners would win ATS anyway, further robbing value of a nice rewarding payout.

    I urge all of you to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BABY PLEASE BABY BABY PLEASE avoid teasers and parlays, if you have any hopes of turning a profit. The 10% vig is hard enough to overcome, and the edge is much bigger on exotics.
    You can't always get what you want, but if you try some time, you might find, you get what you need.

        Agreed! Laying -130 is tough. If you play teasers play 6 point teasers and lay -110.

        IMO you won't and can't win playing teasers as your primary bet.

          My uncle continues to play teasers....I tell him every week that they are a bad investment. IMO.

          Ask yourself a question...If it were to our advantage would the book offer it? HELL NO.

            I rarely play teasers in college, but I think they are good in the NFL. They are great "recreational" bets and don't count on them to make a living. I lost a 9 team 7 point teaser on Sunday by 1 game (TB/STL Over), but hit a 5 team 7 point teaser on the late games. Makes it fun if you like action
