gingo - I moved this in here because it got bumped with all the college football picks. You might have better luck in here. GL.

I personally have never been a big fan of teasers - maybe once in a while in football for fun. I do know some people who have had success betting teasers. You'll get some more feedback here

they can be effective sometimes, just dont get too attached and play them alot..

danny ray is able to work teasers into his handicapping, and seems to profit alot from doing so..

if you can win money with them nice, but just remember in the NFL in most games the pointspread doesn't mean much.. who ever wins tends to cover the spread, so basically you are betting on more teams for the same price as one game.. but it does give you some insurance, not always worth it however..

I do enjoy moneyline parlays though on teams of say -6 favourites..

sometimes a 6pt teaser on two favs like that is cheaper than the parlay.

you should always look at the price for all your options before putting in your wagers.

No point in paying -150 for something you could get at -120.

Love the teasers. With the linesmakers in the NFL usually posting the right number, teasers can be money!!

A wise, sharp player once told me, "if you really love two plays, why the need to tease them or parlay them?"
If you are sure and confident with your plays, pound them hard individually.

In that case, just as long as 1 wins, you secure yourself of a push (minus the vig).
