Be sure to check with your book to see how 2-team teasers with a push are handled (some settle push/loss as a loss, others make it a push) so you are not surprised. Note that a 2-team teaser with a push is not reduced to a 1-team teaser as there is no such bet. A 4-teamer where one leg is a push would payout at 3-team levels, etc. With teasers involving three or more picks, a push on any leg reduces the teaser to the next lowest level. You must decide if the greatly improved chance of winning is worth a 2/3 reduction in payout. If you risked $65, the teaser pays $50 but the same two picks in a parlay would pay $169. The tradeoff is the payout is only 10/13 (this varies from book-to-book but will serve for our examples today) instead of 13/5 as a parlay would be. Also, the Chargers can now lose by 7 and still cover. I think you can clearly see that making Philadelphia only have to win by 2 to cover (instead of 9) makes this bet easier to win. If you teased 7-points you would have a 2-team teaser with Eagles -1 and the Chargers +9. There is an incredible number of variations in how teasers are offered (we'll discuss why later) but generally you can tease your football lines 6, 6.5, or 7-points and your basketball lines 4, 4.5, or 5-points.įor example if you like the Eagles -8 and the Chargers +2 but aren't sure the Eagles will win by a touchdown or the Chargers will keep it close you could tease both these picks. Teaser Information What is a teaser exactly?Ī teaser is a combination of two or more football/basketball spreads/totals where you get a better line on each pick in exchange for a lower payout.

Our Teaser Calculator allows you to select up to 14 teams in a teaser bet.

Use out Teaser Calculator to determine the outcome of any particular teaser combination. You may tease a side or a total of a football game and also cross sports by teasing football games with basketball games.Īny selection that loses makes the whole Teaser a loss. Teasers allow you to have an advantageous point spread while selecting 2 to 8 teams (or more depending on the sportsbook). Teasers are used in parlay bets (bets linking together two or more wagers) and whatever teaser amount you choose will apply to all wagers within your bet. Teaser bets are popular sports bets (particularly in football and basketball) because it allows you to adjust the point spread in your favor.
