🏈 Understanding Teaser Bets
- Teaser: A bet that allows you to adjust point spreads or totals in your favor by a fixed number of points, in exchange for reduced odds.
- NFL 6-point teaser: You add 6 points to underdogs or subtract 6 from favorites. Standard payouts: 2-team -110, 3-team -120, 4-team -130, 5-team -140, etc.
- NBA 5-point teaser: Move the spread by 5 points. Payouts follow a similar structure but can vary slightly.
- Key numbers: In football, teasing through 3 and 7 (e.g., moving a -7.5 spread to -1.5) is often profitable because those are common winning margins.
