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 works like a parlay, but it lets you nudge the spread or total a fixed number of points (6, 6.5, 7, 10, or 13) on each leg in your favour. The catch is much shorter odds. Every leg still has to win for the teaser to pay.
Can teasers actually make money?
The famous ‘Wong’ 6-point NFL teaser through the 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 usually negative EV, since the books price in the points move.
Why do teaser odds change from book to book?
Most US books run off industry-standard teaser tables, but you’ll spot small differences (like -110 vs -120 on a 2-team 6-point). Sharp bettors line-shop teasers just like straight bets, and the gap between -110 and -120 really adds up over time.
Can I tease totals too, not just spreads?
Yep. Most books let you tease both sides and totals. Some keep teasers to NFL/NBA only. As a rule, only the big US sports support teasers, while soccer and others stick to different formats.
