I don't know Lloyd I respect you big time. This may not win but I have made a lot of money this yr teasing nfl unders. 60 points in an nfl game is a lot. I know your going to say over the long haul you will not win but I disagree big time. If you pick and choose your spots I will win over 85% of the time on totals in a 10 pt teaser. Now it's finding the other 2 teams that can be tricky but so many people talk down on teasers but at the end of the day it's the same thing as a straight bet.
It's not at all like a straight bet. The whole point of betting teasers is changing the outcome enough times that it outweighs how much more often each leg needs to win in order to be profitable. So if you bet a 2 teamer at -110, each leg needs to win about 73% of the time. So you should be teasing through numbers that change the outcome at least 23% of the time.
If you are a good enough handicapper you CAN win betting any kind of teaser. NBA, CBB, whatever. The whole point is if you are actually winning betting these -EV teasers, you'd be winning way more betting the games individually because I guarantee the outcomes aren't changing frequently enough to be worth the price you're paying for the extra points
