Thumbs down People who play teasers everday

Sorry to be blunt.
Folks who play teasers everyday, cant cap a lick. I like to use an old saying. "Teasers are for suckers."


Again, just my opinion.

What do people here at CM think about teasers??

Never in anything but NFL, and thats rare. In general, teasers are for suckers. Your risking two games but not getting the increased payout of a parlay. Parlay bets are chump bet too in any sport except MLB sometimes.

When I play teasers in NFL, I never tease a side and a total and usually tease two dogs.

NBA...No teasers ever!!

Its a tough bet but you can pull it off in the NFL if you follow totals carefully.

b) they have no confidence in their capping ability
c) rookie/college kid

You are absolutely right about points A, B, and C above.
But I think you forgot

d) no balls to take the line as posted

Having said all that.....that is why it is IMPERATIVE that YOU post your picks early so that people won't have to play teasers. They can just play your picks.

Skippy hate to sound like ur old buddy Pasco... But I play games based on fading the public, STRONG trends, a bookies tip, my own feels for the game, KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME and a round table discussion with the "syndicate".
