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's a teaser bet?
A teaser is a parlay-style wager that lets you nudge the spread or total by a set number of points (6, 6.5, 7, 10, or 13) on every leg in your favour. The catch is sharply trimmed odds. Every leg has to win for the teaser to cash.
Do teasers actually turn a profit?
The classic ‘Wong’ 6-point NFL teaser running through key numbers (3 and 7) is one of the rare mathematically positive-EV plays in mainstream sports betting. Step outside that specific edge and teasers are generally negative EV, since bookmaker pricing already bakes in the points move.
Why do teaser odds vary between sportsbooks?
Most US books run on industry-standard teaser tables, but small gaps show up (say, -110 vs -120 on a 2-team 6-point). Sharp bettors line-shop teasers exactly like straight bets, because -110 vs -120 across many wagers adds up fast.
Can I tease totals along with spreads?
Yes. Most books let you tease both sides and totals. Some lock teasers to NFL/NBA only. As a rule, only the major US sports support teasers, while soccer and others run different formats.
