Disregarding your like on the Heat, the correct move would be to take the Thunder +6. The market number is -4 across the board so you are getting an additional 2 points. If you were to get an additional 2 points in every NBA game you would be a rich man.

If I was getting OKC +6. I would probably play a 2 team teaser and buy the 1 point to get OKC at +11 & +/_ 0n the 194 Total if you know which way you want to go on that. I would play OKC +11 & OVER 189 or UNDER 199. Wish I could get an extra 2 points on all my games, I would quit my day job. Oops, I'm retired LOL.
BOL on all your picks.
That's what I did. Thank you for the advice.

This is the worst possible thing you could do. You are being GIVEN two free points and you want to play a teaser?
If the market value is +4 and you are getting +6, you are paying -110 for a ticket worth around -132.
If you took OKC +6 for $100 you'd have around $9.46 in equity.
By far the best option would be to put $1,000 on each side (still risking $100). Your equity in this is around $75 on a $100 risk.
You want a handicapping tip? Spend as much time getting a good number as you do researching games. Depositing/withdrawing/depositing/withdrawing is a bitch, but I guarantee you will lose less, or win more. I can't guarantee that for any other piece of advice

FYI my last post was thanking BL for his advice as I took both sides at -4 and +6 respectively. I rarely do teasers in nba. Don't think I played one this year.
Good call. Hope it hits for ya

Lloyd,
Would it be possible for you to please provide a breakdown of how you came to these numbers? I think I i understand the first part about paying -110 for a ticket worth -132 (based on push charts I believe) but the rest is tough for a math retard such as myself:)
