Teasers ................

Now thats an amazing percentage.

Look at my previous post. It really is a lousy percentage.

It's the equivalent of 47% ATS winners

frank is there any way to tell how many totals land within 7 points either way?

[frankb03]

I agree but if you pick your spots ...... 70% is a good bunch to choose from!

I agree. I posted because I didn't want members thinking it was easy money. Mojo was impressed with 68.5% which is a lousy percentage when you have to pick 2 teams.

Give me a few minutes. I'll get you the numbers.

Hey Frank I'm here to learn. So educate me bud. Does that help any with only 10% juice charged to the losers.

I agree with you 100%. I have been trying to convince my friends not to play teasers for the exact same reasons that you have posted. 70% sounds real nice, but you have to hit it twice. Also, a big percentage of teasers that do hit, would have hit in a parlay. I am not one to tell people to bet parlays, but teasers are probably a bookies favorite phone call.

Name another sport in which a prime time game is wagered HEAVILY and Vegas eats EVERY ticket! Zip, Zero, not one happy bookie with with a teaser wager last night. How much teaser money was wagered? Millions ... LOST!

Wayne

41. 3% of game totals land within 7 points either way.

38.4% land within 6.5 points

35.9% within 6 points

55.4% within 10 points

[wayne1218]

I thought those would be higher frank ........ INTERESTING!

Thanks!

I know my local is pissed when all teasers cover such as last night. He difinately does not come out ahead when that happens. He usually doesn't root too hard for sides but he root harder than hell so that all teasers don't cover. That's when he gets hit hard.

[wayne1218]

The 10 point total amazes me. The NFL games are usually not too far off in total (I thought)!

[frankb03]

Another warning. With some locals if part of the tease pushes they grade it as a loss.

Another reason to play offshore.

I think Bookies LOVE Parlays but Teasers truly Scare them at times ...... like last night!

I also thought they'd be higher.

Along with the 10% juice he also gives one side win one side push=no bet. Pretty nice there.
