there is no way of calculating the house’s
“edge” because it depends on what the "lines" are set at and on the
teams picked in the
teaser.

This becomes critical when analyzing how to best bet teasers.

Because there is no
way of mathematically calculating proper payouts or odds,
the lines offered at different
books will vary greatly

IMO...
Depends on the lines offered..

yes well done, points have been awarded

.65*.65*.65*.65 = .178506

1 / .178506 = 5.602045

5.602045 - 1 = 4.602045

4.602045 * 100 = 460.2045

the math was explained by irish tim here
