Teaser Bets

Teaser bets are similar to parlay bets. The bet is slightly modified from a regular parlay bet, and should reduce the risk taken by the player somewhat, since players bet not only on the game point totals, but on the point spreads. The totals, or spreads, are teased, in order to increase the players chance of winning. The players has much greater flexibility with a teaser, with a higher chance of winning, although they will win at reduced odds.

Although teasers are similar to parlay bets, they are somewhat more complicated. Those that are in the process of learning about teaser bets will find that breaking them down into smaller parts will make the understanding of these bets somewhat easier to understand.

When the final outcome of a game is difficult to predict, teaser bets are a better option than parlay bets, since bettors have a greater chance of coming out winners than had they bet only a straight parlay bet.

When the bettor is quite confident regarding the possible outcome of a game, it is probably best not to place a teaser bet. In this case, a parlay bet will have a better payout. Whichever bet is chosen, there is always a trade-off one way or the other.

Before placing teaser bets, it is advisable to read the wagering guide available from your sportsbooker. This, along with carefully choosing the teams you are betting on, will go a long way towards making the most informed betting decision that you can.
