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 exactly is a teaser bet?
A teaser is a parlay-style wager that lets you nudge the spread or total by a fixed number of points (6, 6.5, 7, 10, or 13) on every leg in your favour. The price you pay is sharply cut odds. Every leg has to win for the teaser to cash.
Do teasers actually make money?
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 turn negative EV — the books price the points move in.
Why do teaser odds vary from book to book?
Most US books work off industry-standard teaser tables, but small gaps creep in (say -110 vs -120 for a 2-team 6-point). Sharp bettors line-shop teasers exactly like straight bets — that -110 versus -120 difference stacks up over a lot of wagers.
Can I tease totals too, or just spreads?
You can. Most books open up teasers on both sides and totals. Some lock teasers to NFL/NBA only. As a rule, only the major US sports support teasers — soccer and the rest run on different formats.
