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
How does a teaser bet work?
A teaser is a parlay-style wager that lets you adjust the spread or total by a set number of points (6, 6.5, 7, 10, or 13) on every leg in your favour. The cost of that adjustment is markedly lower odds. Every leg must win for the teaser to settle as a winner.
Do teasers generate positive returns?
The well-known ‘Wong’ 6-point NFL teaser crossing the key numbers (3 and 7) ranks among the few mathematically positive-EV plays in mainstream sports betting. Beyond that specific edge, teasers are typically negative EV, since bookmaker pricing already accounts for the points adjustment.
Why do teaser odds vary between sportsbooks?
Most US books rely on industry-standard teaser tables, but minor discrepancies occur (for instance, -110 versus -120 on a 2-team 6-point). Sharp bettors line-shop teasers exactly as they shop straight wagers — across many bets, the gap between -110 and -120 is material.
Are totals teasable in addition to spreads?
Yes. The majority of books permit teasers on both sides and totals. Some limit teasers to NFL/NBA. As a rule only the major US sports support teasers — soccer and other sports operate on different formats.
