A pleaser is the opposite of a teaser. Instead of "getting points" in your favor, you give them away. What makes this bet so nasty is that it's a parlay style bet and you have to pick in between 2-10 games.

It's hard enough to get one regular point spread right. But to turn it inside out, give away points and then have to do this with 2 or more games is absolute insanity! Like we said above though, it pays well! Speaking of payouts, let's take a look at the payout chart for one of these suicide wagers.

7 Point Football Pleaser (ties push)
2 teamer 8-1
3 teamer 25-1
4 teamer 60-1
5 teamer 150-1
6 teamer 450-1
7 teamer 700-1
8 teamer 1000-1
9 teamer 1350-1
10 teamer 1750-1

thanks i fully understand the odds and how these parlays work , i was more interested in why not all games are on the board ,do they take the games off as money comes in onesided and line moves , thanks again .....ed

this answer might come off as rude but i think the books take off games that they know will win or likely to be blowouts
