I've always lost on teases when it's a push.  Maybe I need to look back into that. 

This is who I have used for sports and horses for over 5 years...never had an issue and never lose on a push in a teaser!

My opinion is stay away from crazy parlays and weird teasers and stick to a sound, financial system. I see too many people bust trying to hit a big bet and get rich quick. I like residual income. My system plays 1 or 2 plays every single day and I have steady income per day. I still believe a slow and steady approach and a sound reinvestment strategy is the way to go. 

I see where you are going with this and I do agree...but you are taking an 8 point favorite down to where all they have to do is win the game outright...plus if they lose by 1 then I look like a genius lol.

True, but in doing so, you are taking the odds with you, or in other words, lessening the payout. My thoughts are if you are having to tease points in order to win, you need to find better games on the board.

If I wouldn't play a spread on its own, I wouldn't tease it.

onebadrubi

The biggest problem with a teaser is one underdog win can screw the pooch.  For instance, tease Arkansas and Ark state.  If NIU beats Arkansas or we win by a field goal, your entire teaser is toast.  My teaser strategy is try to tease games that you feel confident will win and get it almost to a win pays out. 

For instance, this weekend, I think Mizzou can when by 6+ points, I think VT can win the game outright, and if you want to add a 3rd team, tease Oregon which would put them around a -10 to -12.

I had Auburn down to -2.5 last night...neither of us are wrong or right...just different at how we look at betting football.  I love teasers and do very well.  I NEVER bet 10 point 3 team teasers though...but I can't pass up the one I mentioned.

Oh I agree...I just enjoy the discussion. The right way or the wrong way isnt important. But what did the odds end up being on your teaser?

IDK about the actual odds...the website I use does it for me.  I bet $350 and will win $322 and some change.  Had Auburn down to -2.5 and over 43.5 in Eagles-Skins.

The actual payout odds on 6 point and 6.5 point teasers will also depend if one of your bets is -110, -115, even, +105, etc.  Thank God for computers huh?

I got 2 units on USF by -2.  I'm cautious on this bet, but took it because USF is at home and Taggart seems to be a successful coach.

Man, I'm in no way patient enough to wait 3 days to determine a win/loss.  Mad props to you for that.

Just about 100 more pages and this thread will be in the hogville hall of fame as one of the most viewed threads. Can you degenerates handle that?

Playing bases again tonight as my main play...

Looked hard at the college football game, and like UConn +3. Not sure if I play it.... Couple things I'm still searching for.

Ya I was thinking taking usf, I'm getting them at -3.  More playing this game for some excitement on a Friday night more than anything.  Maybe 1-2 units now since this game is so unclear

Post up your MLB picks if you don't mind something tailing you.  I keep getting my arse creamed when I touch MLB, and I'm simply picking them off who I like and no rules. 

I was able to pick up USF earlier today at -2, looks like the line is moving my way, but I think this is virtually a pickem game. 

Note:CFB daily picked us as guaranteed bet of the weekend.

If you aren't afraid of the Hogville curse, which i am almost positive exists, post them up, I'm not opposed to winning money on baseball.

How does taking the "action" on MLB games work?

HogFanInBryant

I just played a $35 parlay that will pay me $304 if it hits...and here is the best part it is only a 2 gamer...but I need the SF-UConn game to go over 43.5 and I need Indiana to win the game OUTRIGHT at Mizzou tomorrow.  Longshot but always a shot!

With all due respect, I hope you win the Friday night part of that bet and the lose the 2nd part by a few TD's

OK, I took another look at Idaho v. Ohio and added Idaho +14.  I'm at 1/2 unit each on the following:

San Jose St. +8.5
Virginia +14
Miss. St. +10
GT +8.5
OK -8
MO-13.5
Idaho +14

Same way it would in any other sport. I'm taking the pirates straight up. Or you can hit the RL for better odds, but its harder. Then you got run total which I play a lot

I have the option to pick both pitchers or one or the other?  under an action tab.  What is this?

Oh I see what you're asking. If you take action, you are betting the game no matter if the listed pitcher pitches or gets scratched. If you take an option, that pitcher has to pitch or its no contest and your game is canceled

That O bet with the pooring rain tonight isn't looking too good now.

Teased Usf +3 and game total under 50 for 2 units

Here is my thinking....Mizzou is not as good as they have shown 1st few games and Indiana is not as bad.  I read some preseason stuff on Indiana and they were expected to actually be pretty good...for Indiana of course which means 7-8 wins.

Mizzou is at home though, should have good fan support, and mauk should be getting better with those receivers.  Last year with that awesome receiving corp (women beater included) he was lighting the field up.  Also a decent RB. 

What is wrong with the main ref in this USF game?  I remember seeing him earlier in the year too, he's got something wrong.

I don't think Indiana can possibly be good enough to beat Mizzou. Man, if you hit that bet then I am WAY, WAY overestimating the strengths of the conferences.

A middle tier big 10 team looks terrible right now in comparison to the rest of college football, let alone the SEC. Last week the Big 10 lost every one of its OOC games...well, the big schools anyways, Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin. Indiana may be better than they usually are, but not good enough to compete with last year's SEC East Champ.

Hope I'm wrong, because if Missouri is that bad, Arkansas can pretty much chalk up a W at the end of the year, and I will be in Columbia for the game. It would be a glorious weekend.

If you followed my baseball play, its not looking good. Gallardo spun a gem...

I don't expect Indiana to go to Mizzou to win...but that bet was just too good to be true.  One thing I do know is that Mizzou is not as good as they have looked, and Indiana is better than they have looked.  Just hoping the stars and moons line up for this one and Indiana pulls a shocker.

If this weather at the SF game doesn't let up...I won't have to worry about it going over 43.5 so the Mizzou game won't even matter.

I can't understand how anyone wouldn't take SF plus the points, so maybe I'm out of this discussion. Haha.

Glad to see this thread is active again though, guys.

4-0 after my tease tonight since Thursday
Tomorrows plays
2 Team teaser Arizona -2/Ark -8
Miami/Nebraska Over 56
Florida St -14

Well won with the points tonight but lost the O/U, sadly I bet the O/U double the points.  Also waited too long to make pigs bet on the pirates, which showed to be a great bet! 

hawgwild child

Wow really, I wish they would of announced Winston out the whole game like an hour ago before I placed that.  I took the -14 knowing he would be out a half and now hes out the whole game

I am not sure that I would worry too much about it.  Clemson was manhandled against what appears to be a Georgia team that is not anything special.  Clemson won't be able to stop all those studs on the offense of FSU...just my opinion.

Dang it's been pulled from my board!  I'd 3 team 10 point tease that immediately if I could

Just announced Jameis is out the whole game vs Clemson.

Ya I still think they win, just hoping they don't start out slow, of course I honestly didn't make a big bet on it, so if fsu did lose I would be happy with that I guess

Here is a game that I am really starting to like the more I dig into the match-up.  Texas St is by no means a powerhouse, but they are a scrappy little team who gave Navy all they wanted for most of the game.  Illinois is very very bad and I don't see them being up for this game at all even though it is at home.  I have a computer ranking calculation that gives an accurate point spread on a neutral field and it has Illinois only being 2 points better than Texas St.  Since they are catching 13 and it would be a big deal for them to go into Illinois and come out with a victory...I really like this bet.  I have a lot of bets out right now, but I did just put $150 on Texas St.  Just some food for thought...anyone have a feel for this game one way or another?

I looked at this play for awhile and I really like it. I didn't bet it for the sake of not betting on Texas St at a Big Ten school. I won't be surprised at all for a single digit margin in that game.
