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 a bit like a parlay, but it lets you nudge the spread or total in your favour by a set number of points (6, 6.5, 7, 10, or 13) on each leg. The catch is that your odds drop noticeably in return. Every leg still has to win for the teaser to pay out.
Can teasers actually be profitable?
The well-known ‘Wong’ 6-point NFL teaser that crosses the key numbers (3 and 7) is one of the rare bets in mainstream sports betting with a mathematically positive EV. Step outside that particular edge and teasers are usually negative EV, since the bookmaker’s pricing already factors in the points you’re moving.
Why do teaser odds vary from one sportsbook to another?
Most US books rely on industry-standard teaser tables, but you’ll spot small differences (for instance, -110 versus -120 on a 2-team 6-point teaser). Savvy bettors shop around for the best teaser lines just like they do with straight bets, because over lots of wagers the gap between -110 and -120 really adds up.
Am I able to tease totals as well as spreads?
You are. Most books let you tease both sides and totals. A few limit teasers to NFL/NBA. As a rule only the major US sports support teasers, since soccer and other sports tend to use different bet formats.
