If u really think the games will be that close, then why don't you parley them instead and make more $$$$, or even better reverse them?


Just wondering?

A parlay would have ben the best play, as you suggest.

If you have teams with a 60% chance of covering, a three team parlay is your best bet since it wins about 22% of the time.

A 2 team parlay will win 36% of the time (with 60% chance teams) but pays less overall.

Worse than these parlays, with 60% teams, is a straight bet which pays 60% of the time but only yields 16% in making 100 bets.

I play teasers to hedge my bet - giving extra room for unpredictable events. However, I know that teasers are the worst play you can make, paying less over the the long haul than even the lowly straight bet.

I was never one to let reality always over-rule what I enjoy, however. Teasers are tempting in giving false comfort, which is why they are called teaser.

This one won, improving my college record to 17 -19 (most were tease plays) but that is still a losing record.
