Question Teasers - Are they just a tease or can they be profitable?

You hear a lot that teasers are just that - teasers and teasers are a books best friend. But I do know some people have success with them.

What is your feeling on teasers and can you make money on them?

What teasers bring the most value?

I like teasers and I don't do bad with them but I never put much on them.They are mostly for fun.

I have had success each of the last 4 years doing 2 team 6 pt teasers on heavy NFL favs.... basic premise is to take the two teams most likely to win SU and then tease them down.

i am sticking with 4 team 14 point teasers in collage, it makes it pretty easy with all the games to choice from.

HATE teasers, occassionally do them for fun but not to really make anything..

I prefer 2 to 3 team parlays...parlay your favorite play of the day with a big ML play that should hit or two...mostly just straight plays...that's the way to make money!

as long as it is nfl, no more than 2 teams, never a dog or teasing into + pts, and never a total,

than its acceptable, any other teaser is a bad bet for a winning bettor, jmo

other teasers can be good bets for losing bettors, kinda like parlays

Sorry to be blunt. Teaser bets in the long run are sucker bets. They are only good for the average recreational bettor.

Teaser bets may sound good, but the payout odds are even worse than parlays...

Which is what 99.964% of all the posters here are.

So you are saying teasers are good for the vast majority here at the mall.

I am a rec bettor in most sports, I admit it, until perhaps the Football and BB seasons, when I increase my units.
