• 2 Team 6 Point Teaser Push
• 2 Team Teaser Push

A push in a two team teaser without a loss will make the entire bet a push. When placing a wager on a 3 or 4 team monster teaser, a push will result in a loss on the wager. If there is a cancelled or postponed event a three or four team super teaser will be deemed as 'NO ACTION'. A tie or push in a three-to-seven team teaser will reduce the wager to the next lowest level. A six-team teaser with a push becomes a five-team teaser).The main variable with teasers is the number of points that the spread or total lines are being moved. Plugging this figure as 73.135% into our odds converter we’ve now deciphers, a 2-team teaser at -115 is a 2-team parlay with each selection priced -272. Assuming the original line of -3.5 was a 50/50 proposition, what we now need to know is if gaining a win instead of a loss on +3, +2, +1, 0, -1, -2 and -3 increases our win probability by 23.

What is a Teaser Bet?

When betting NFL teasers, the most common football teaser varieties are selecting two or three teams and teasing NFL lines by 6, 6.5 or 7 points. For football and basketball Teaser bets involving just two teams, when at least one selection is a tie or deemed to have no action, the entire bet is considered a push and all money is refunded. If any selection of a Super Teaser bet is a tie or deemed to have no action, the entire bet is graded as no action and all money is refunded.

What is a teaser? Simply put, a teaser is very similar to a parlay but with adjusted point spreads and a reduced payout. Essentially you are “buying” a set number of points.

For example, in the NFL a 2-team, 6-point teaser if fairly common. If you like the Patriots -7.5 and the Chiefs +1.5 then you can tease the two together to get the Pats -1.5 and the Chiefs +7.5. The standard bet on this is -120 so you have to bet $120 to win $100 and both sides have to win for you to win your wager. If either loses, the bet is graded as a loss.

Standard Teaser Payouts

Teasers are offered at different numbers for different sports and at different rates of return. The number of games and the points you will be able to buy and at what price is going to depend on where you place your bets and what sport you are betting on. I have went to great depths to compare the best teaser odds for NFL, college football, and basketball. Check those pages out if you are interested in which sports book to sign up for to get the best odds in each sport.

There are some online sports books that I recommend specifically for teaser betting. 5Dimes is by far my favorite for basketball but Bookmaker has some nice options as well. GT Bets, BetOnline, and Bovada are three options I would stress you take a look at if you want to do football teasers.

Teaser Rules for Pushes

The rules for pushes on teasers are generally the same everywhere. If one leg of your teaser loses, it doesn’t matter if you push or win the other side, you still lose the wager. However, a push with the rest of the legs winning will reduce the teams in the teaser. If on a 2-teamer you push and win, you push the bet. But if on a 3-teamer you push and win the other two legs, it will be graded similar to a 2-teamer.

Teaser Betting Strategy

2 Team 6 Point Teaser Push

I think most people know by now that teaser betting can be profitable if you know what you are doing. I want to educate you so that you too can be profitable and this explanation should be as simple as possible.

What Happens If You Have A 2 Team Teaser . And One Pushes ..

Let’s calculate the rate each leg of your teaser needs to win at for the different odds. The formula is pretty simple. If the odds are +100 you need to win 50% of your bets (risk amount/(win amount+risk amount)). If the odds are -110 you need to win 52.38% (110/210). You then take the square root of those winning percentages and each leg of your teaser has to hit by this percentage in order to be profitable.

For 3 teams we have to take the cubed root of the required winning percentage to determine what rate each leg needs to hit at for it to be a profitable teaser bet.

How Do Teaser Bets Work

As you can see, sometimes you get better odds on 2-team teasers, but sometimes you are better off taking 3-teams if you like that many.

Now that you know how often each leg needs to win, how can you handicap winners based on those numbers? Well the key is to cross as many key numbers as possible.

Football Teaser Tips

Basic NFL teaser strategy says you want to teaser underdogs from +1.5 to +2.5 up six points so you can cross the key numbers of 3 and 7 to get to +7.5 through +8.5. Likewise you want to take favorite of -7.5 to -8.5 and tease them down to under a field goal.

However, I dug into the numbers and generally it’s the home teams that keep things close. If you take only home underdogs of +1.5 to +2.5 and home favorites of -7.5 to -8.5 you have a better shot at winning your teaser bets.

The strategy for college football teasers is a little different. Going back through history I have found the best numbers here are the small, road underdogs. If you can tease them up through the key numbers of three and seven you can turn a small profit.

Basketball Teasers

Basketball teasers work a little differently than football teasers. You get less points for one thing, but also there aren’t the same key numbers like in football. We’ve gone over thousands of basketball games in order to find the best numbers for teasers for both college basketball and the NBA.

Teaser Bet Push

What we have found is that in college basketball road favorite are typically good teams to tease. You want to hit the sweet spot of teams that are expected to win the game, then tease them down to where they barely have to get the W for you to cash.

2 Team Teaser Push

The NBA doesn’t have a lot of options, but it’s similar. You want to get those big favorites down to a reasonable number. If a team is supposed to win by double digits it’s likely they are going to win the game. If the game is close at the end the team that is losing typically starts fouling. That is why you see teams that have a small edge with a minute to go end up winning by 5-7 points. If you can tease down into this sweet spot then you have a great chance of winning.
