What's A Teaser Bet
A teaser is a combination between 2 and 10 football or basketball wagers. You adjust the point spreads and/or totals in your favor in exchange for a lowerpayout. When your teaser includes a point spread, you can decrease the spread for the favorite (or increase the spread for the underdog). When the teaser includes a total, you can increase the “under” or decrease the “over.”
Teasers are similar to parlays, in that all the teams selected in your wager (the number of teams is often determined by the sport) must win or the bet loses, but there’s one key difference. In a teaser, you’re allowed to move the point spread in any direction you like. Parlays and teasers are a great way to mix things up by betting on multiple games and outcomes at one time. Betting on single games is a reliable way to grow your bankroll with some basic sports betting strategy, but these ‘multi bets’ offer huge potential to increase your winnings when you’re supremely confident in more than one pick. A teaser is another type of wager available to bet on sports. A Teaser is not a straight bet, but is more similar to a parlay, but comes with much different odds and odds of winning. Often under-utilized, the teaser can be a valued weapon in a bettor’s arsenal if they know how to use them correctly.
- MyBookie will grade the entire wager as a loss if any part of the teaser results in a loss. There are no partial payouts.
- A push in a regular teaser of 3 or more teams will reduce the number of plays in the teaser. For example, a 5-team teaser that results in two pushes will become a 3-team teaser, and the payout will be recalculated based on the new number of plays.
- A push or tie in any 2-team regular teaser will result in a push for the whole teaser, unless the other game gets graded as a loss. If any portion of a 2-team teaser is graded “no action,” the entire teaser will be graded “no action,” unless the other team is graded as a loss.
- MyBookie will grade as “no action” any event which does not take place on the date specified in the wager, and the teaser will reduce accordingly.
- In the event that any teaser selection pushes or ties, the following rules apply. For special teasers, any tie or push is considered a loss. For 2-team teasers, tie + win = push, and tie + loss = loss. For teasers of more than 2 teams, a tie reverts the teaser to the next lower level.
