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
What is a teaser bet?
A teaser is a parlay-like wager where you can move the spread or total by a fixed number of points (6, 6.5, 7, 10, or 13) on each leg in your favour. The trade-off is significantly reduced odds. All legs must win for the teaser to pay.
Are teasers profitable?
The classic ‘Wong’ 6-point NFL teaser through key numbers (3 and 7) is one of the few mathematically positive-EV bets in mainstream sports betting. Outside that specific edge, teasers are generally negative EV — bookmaker pricing accounts for the points move.
Why do different sportsbooks have different teaser odds?
Most US books use industry-standard teaser tables but small variations exist (e.g., -110 vs -120 for a 2-team 6-point). Sharp bettors line-shop teasers the same way they shop straight bets — the difference between -110 and -120 over many bets is significant.
Can I tease totals as well as spreads?
Yes. Most books allow teasers on both sides and totals. Some restrict teasers to NFL/NBA. Generally only major US sports support teasers — soccer and other sports use different formats.
