Formula
Teasers use standardised odds tables — moving the spread by N points reduces the implied odds of each leg, then legs combine like a parlay.
A 2-team 6-point teaser pays around -110 (1.91) at most US books.
Higher moves and more legs increase the implied probability requirement — payouts grow but realistic hit rates fall faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Define a teaser bet.
A teaser is a parlay-style wager that lets you adjust the spread or total by a fixed point count (6, 6.5, 7, 10, or 13) on each leg in your favour. In exchange, the odds drop sharply. Every leg must win for the teaser to settle.
Do teasers turn a profit?
The classic ‘Wong’ 6-point NFL teaser crossing key numbers (3 and 7) ranks among the few mathematically positive-EV plays in mainstream sports betting. Beyond that specific edge, teasers are usually negative EV — bookmaker pricing already accounts for the point shift.
Why do teaser odds vary between sportsbooks?
Most US books rely on industry-standard teaser tables, but minor differences occur (e.g. -110 vs -120 for a 2-team 6-point). Sharp bettors line-shop teasers just as they shop straight bets — the -110 vs -120 gap compounds meaningfully over many wagers.
Can totals be teased alongside spreads?
Yes. Most books permit teasers on both sides and totals. Some confine teasers to NFL/NBA. As a rule only major US sports support teasers — soccer and others use different formats.
