Quick overview:
A teaser is a variation of a combination that allows you to shift the betting lines in your favor by sacrificing the payout amount.
You can place teasers and many other bets at the Sportaza Bookmaker place: https://sportaza.com/de/. Try it out, you are guaranteed to have a lot of fun.
This type of bet is less profitable than a normal parlay, but easier to hit. As with a parlay, you must correctly predict all the selections included in order to win the bet.
For the most part, teasers are exclusive to basketball and soccer spreads and totals.
The most common type is the 6-point teaser in the NFL, where the spread is shifted six points in your favor.
Let's take a hypothetical example where the Eagles are 2-point underdogs and the Chiefs are 7-point favorites with the standard spreads. The customized teaser lines would look like this:
● Philadelphia Eagles +8
● Kansas City Chiefs -1
Suddenly the spreads look much more reasonable.
Don't worry if you can't understand this seemingly complex betting concept. This article will show you how teasers work and how best to use them when betting at the Sportaza Bookmaker bet.
How does a teaser bet work?
In short, teasers are parlays that consist of several alternative lines (alternative spreads or alternative totals) that are shifted in your favor compared to the standard lines.
By making the lines more advantageous, bettors increase their chances of winning, but receive a lower payout.
For a standard 6 point 2 team NFL teaser, you can expect odds of -120. In some cases, they can be around -110, but most bookmakers are now offering odds of -120.
Like parlays, teasers are all-or-nothing bets. You have to hit all your picks for the teaser to win.
Another similarity between the teasers and parlays is that the more legs (selections) you include, the higher the payout.
How to place a teaser
Betting sites like the Sportaza Bookmaker now allow you to create teasers automatically after you have selected standard spreads and/or totals.
As soon as you have made your selection, you will find a "Teaser" button in the bet slip, with which you can automatically adjust the lines by a number of your choice.
If your bookmaker does not have this option, you can click on the games you are interested in and find the alternative lines to create a teaser manually.
Here are the steps you generally need to take to place a teaser:
- Open the Sportaza Bookmaker website or the mobile app.
- Go to the betting lobby and open the sport/league you are interested in (e.g. the NFL).
- Add the spreads and/or totals you wish to include in your bet.
- Open the betting slip and look for the "Teaser" button.
- Select how much you want to adjust the lines. Remember that the default is 6 points for the NFL and 4 points for the NBA.
- Once you have adjusted the lines, the sports betting provider will display the odds you will receive for your teaser bet. If you agree with the odds, enter the amount you want to bet and place your bet.
