Teaser Thoughts

[Fluk]

I posted this in a reply to one of KC's threads, but wanted to get the opinion of those who may not have seen it:


Thoughts on a 3:1 4 teamer

Seattle -3
New England +9
Indianapolis -3.5
Carolina +9

I know I know the proverbial 'teasers = bad idea' - but for some reason I tend to have decent luck with them in the pro's. The only thing that scares me is a 6 pointer leaves a lot of crucial #'s out there, that a 7 pointer could take care of (ie -2, +10, -2.5, + 10); however 3:1 sounds a lot better than 2:1 !!

Interested on thoughts?

If you feel strongly I would suggust doing the teaser and adding a parlay as well. Just a thought.

Colts Seahawks is cash... put a lot on it.

HMMM.....I would want more than +9 on the Pats.

I'm guessing a push is a loss on your teaser...so i would try to get below those key numbers of 3. Also, 3 and 7 are consider the main key numbers I believe, but when playing the dogs in the teaser i try for 9' or 10' because those could be considered sem-key numbers in a way

i find best to tease games that are predicted to be real close. for example - i find was/sea could go any way - the skins caoul play it close, or could win outright - or the seahawks could blow em away.

i personally like 7 point teaser carolina +10 and under 37 - both touching key numbers.

good luck!

A push on one leg of a 4 teamer - changes it to a 3 teamer; 2 pushes changes it to a 2 teamer, etc.

With that being said and responding to puckfan - I feel much stronger about carolina, colts and pats than I do about the redskins -- i can't say i'd be completely shocked if the redskins pull it off. While I don't expect it, there is just a lot of question marks on this game. If their offense shows up, I think that have a legitamate shot. However, I think we do need to keep in mind history of the divisional rounds -- as mentioned in many posts, these teams earned these byes for a reason, and usually show it this week.

I do feel that Carolina and Patriots may not fit the current mold - however, for different reasons. I definitely have respect for the Broncos, I just feel like that Pats are hitting on all cylinders at the right time. On the other hand, the strong Carolina play is as much of a disrespect for Chicago (when referring to them covering a -9 spread, in the aforementioned teaser) as it respect for an impressive playoff tested Carolina bunch.

Nice, any push with my local and its a loss...its sounds like you're getting the teasers treated like parlays which will save you in a few I would imagine

. . . these teams earned these byes for a reason, and usually show it this week.

The only reason the Bears and Seahawks drew byes is the fact that they had the good fortune of being cast into weak conferences and playing weak schedules. :s1:

 

[Killian]

The weak conference and weak schedules earned the Seahawks all of those Pro Bowl selections.......aren't they lucky ???

 

[the_fix_is_on]

Exactly.
