What do you Teaser pros think about this 13 pointer I put in?Atlanta Falcons +7½ Sun@4:05pGreen Bay Packers Pick Sun@4:15pDetroit Lions vs. (208) Dallas Cowboys Over 33 Sun@1:00pSan Diego Chargers +4 Sun@4:15p
The over on the lions games have been money thus far. Usually no need to tease that, not to mention that teasing totals in general is a bad idea. I still do it here and there, but its a good rule to follow for the most part. I always think these lood great on paper, then you get that one upset to thwart you.
:goodposting: I've already thrown in the towel on NFL teasers. They ALWAYS look great on paper. It's highly unlikely but I could really see Atlanta getting beat by Seattle. They aren't that good.

Yeah, me too HUCKS. Except I had 20,000 units on it.
Nah, doubt icon would do that. He did it as insurance in case his heart got broken tonight, haha, which it did.And I must say, I feel awful for Boston and their fans. Just awful. Especially coming on the heels of Brady's collapse to the Bills, of all teams. SUCKS!Just kidding about feeling bad, they deserve it and I could not be any happier. Sorry icon, but SO tired of Boston fans. :banned:

:goodposting: Though honestly I had already written this team off... too dinged up. Rays are the better team right now. It happens. This one will irk him even more:Future Wager 04/20/11 00:57 ET bet 5u to win 4.5u Result: Wager Won2011 AL East Division -Odds to WinNew York Yankees Win 09/30/11(20:00 ET)-11034) BET ID=349359605Future Wager 04/07/11 11:52 ET bet 3u to win 4.5u Result: Wager Won2011 AL East Division -Odds to WinNew York Yankees Win 09/30/11(20:00 ET) +150To be fair my 1u to win 18u bet on Orioles didn't pan out. I also threw 0.5u to win 9u on TB to win the pennant a week or two ago. I don't hucks bets.
 
Lump, have NFL teasers been profitable this preseason+reg season so far?
Week 1 of preseason was a trainwreck, every other week has been profitable for me. I believe I'm showing a small profit overall but I don't have exact numbers for just the teasers I've played. It's really just a grind breaking even hoping for that magical week or 2 with a sweep. Last year there just happened to be 6 sweeps :loco:

You have to be able to tease blind, or go home. Watch the names of the teams for no other reason than to project who the public might move the line towards. In a week where there are 3-4 teams right on the edge it isn't really worth watching the lines until saturday night. If I'm not hammered i like sat about midnight to put them in because there is less chance of a line moving during inputting the wagers. I got caught out recently on this waiting till the AM. This prior week though being around prior to the game start allowed you to tease the mia/cle game both ways (but i missed out on that).
 
So have we firmed up the NFL/NCAA teaser card yet?

Currently on:

Packers(GreenBay) -7

Redskins(Washington) +9.5 (-120) :thumbup:

Saints(NewOrleans) -1.5

MY LEANS:

ARK +9

UGA -1

MTSU -16.5

FLA +9.5 is starting to get really tempting...

DET +7

NO -1

TEN +7

AZ +7

PIT +10

GBP -6.5

I'd like to cut it down to 4-5... maybe 6 plays.....bolded are my faves right now.

ETA:

IS there a teaser tool or a cheatshet out there that helps making sure you don't overlook any combinations? TIA.

Det +112 for game 1
Not often you can get Verlander @ plus money.
Guess I should have waited, up to +121 now :wall:
got +119.DET 8-1 to win WS is a good bet. Fister has been lights out for awhile now. Young, Miggy, Victor are crushing.
I took them at +119 and thought about the 8-1 to win it all, but having watched Fister in Seattle, I'm not sure I'd trust him just yet. Also curious what the Tigers' record was against the NYY, TB, TEX this year. I'll go look....

Quick math, but I see 15-6 vs these three teams. Pretty solid!
 
Final NFL/NCAA teasers for the weekend:

ARK +8.5 (fell from +9 earlier)

UGA -1

DET +7.5 (up from +7 earlier)

NO -1

PIT +10

By 3/4/5 at 1 unit each (total 16u to win 37.5u)

Looks like anyone wanting ARK better jump on em but Detroit is moving in your direction.

:popcorn:

I think we are in trouble. I'm also on South Florida and the Houston Under.

I know it's crazy,b ut Houston has been running the ball alot more of late and the clock shold move a little bit. If they manage to put up 10 td's then so-be-it.

 
Cocksucking bookmaker is trying to say Werth over 21.5 HRs is a loser, even though they didn't play 162 games. Yet on the other hand I have a buddy who's with the same book and they are not grading his Dodgers under as a winner...because the Dodgers also didn't play 162. Bottom line is there are a number of player props and team totals affected in this and they are trying to snake both sides of this ####. That's not gonna happen but I want to get my arguments down first. Any ideas? I haven't looked at what major books are doing about this, yet, will have to later... Anyway, is there some precedent(s) here I can look to?

Thanks.

And while we're on the subject of crooks, I still have yet to go over the Utah fiasco with this same guy. I had Utah (vs SC) pretty big and I had them parlayed to a winner, so all told it was a huge swing. My feeling is he should have ruled it a no-play or at least compromised some, no? But since I was up, he took it off my figure, giving me no choice. Any idea what's my best angle to take here as well (besides the obvious, GFY)?

Be back later tonight :banned: , thanks for the input! I think I'm done with this guy after we hash this #### out.

 
Oh, and I love Utah State tomorrow night. They could actually be 3 - 0, including that game AT Auburn. On the other side, BYU could actually be 0 - 4. Then what would the line be? Yeah, yeah, that's stretching it for sure but still. They are good and BYU is down. They could win outright. Only thing I worry about it is if they can't handle the situation; if they choke in big brother's house -- they do have a young QB. I'm betting no, though.

 
:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Why did I think it was a good idea to bet the under in a game with Houston?

Kids... learn from my mistakes. Don't EVER bet the under in a game with Houston.
