Recommended Ticket Structure
Re: 5Dimes
A 4-Team 13pt teaser pays: -120 (Ties Lose) or -130 (Ties Push - i.e. ticket is reduced to a 3-Team 13pt teaser). If you join, you get to choose a free bonus program, and you will want to be on the Point Buying/Mover Program to get the best prices for teasers.
FINAL RESULTS: WIN 5-2, +2.10 Units @ -130 / Ticket

Where can I tease like this and how do they work?
My favorite teasers are 13pt 4-Team, 13pt 4-Total or 13pt 4-Team/Total Combination Teasers (for simplicity, we will just refer to them as '4-Team teasers' from now on). I've used many sites, but you are going to get both the best prices and maximum flexibility with 5Dimes. A 4-Team 13pt teaser pays: -120 (Ties Lose) or -130 (Ties Push - i.e. ticket is reduced to a 3-Team 13pt teaser). If you join, you get to choose a free bonus program, and you will want to be on the Point Buying/Mover Program to get the best prices for teasers. I am not affiliated with 5Dimes in any way, but their teaser menu is so vastly more advanced than any other site, that I simply HAVE to mention it as you are definitely leaving money on the table and taking much higher risk with other teaser programs from other companies and other websites. If you think you have found another site that can compare, please let me know so I can look into it.
Note that even though I play a lot of -120 'Ties-Lose' teasers (which is obviously what you want to be doing if your games have a lot of 1/2pts in them), I will grade all our 13pt teaser results this season at -130 instead of -120 (the actual payout for Ties-Lose teasers). I am doing this because -120 is unattainable at any other book other than 5Dimes to the best of my knowledge.
Below you will find 5Dimes' teaser payout menu under the Point Buying Program - this is what I use. If you have any questions just let me know and I will help out as best I can...best regards, -voodoo

What is an 'Anchor'?
An 'Anchor' is a teased SIDE from which all other teased Sides and/or Totals on your play card(s) stem from (note that I said "Side", not Total to define the Anchor - anchoring a Total is not recommended). It is the singular 'lightning rod' Side that is present in ALL of your relevant teaser tickets, and it provides a special and rare opportunity to leverage & effectively get 'FREE' points on ANY Side/Total of your choice as we do not consider an Anchor to be an 'official selection' - rather, it is treated as a 'pre-defined winner'. To qualify as an Anchor, the Side & line must be DROP-DEAD ROCK SOLID in EVERY respect otherwise you are gambling, not intelligently investing. Remember, if you lose your Anchor(s), you lose your ship.
Advanced Anchor Teasing - 'Triple Method'
There are 3 different techniques you can employ when triple Anchor Teasing:
1) FULL Triple-Anchor 'Stacking': The most EXTREME, but with the greatest potential reward. NOT RECOMMENDED without a minimum of a 13pt cushion. This method effectively gives you a 'FREE' 13pts on every other line on the card. With this approach, you have 3 Anchors in a 4-Team 13pt teaser. If your 4th (non-anchored) selection with the 'FREE' 13pt cushion wins, the entire ticket wins (as long as all 3 of the Anchors hold of course). Remember, for a play to qualify as an Anchor, it has to be EXTREMELY SECURE & ROCK-SOLID in EVERY respect. If one of these Anchors fails, your maximum recoverable dollars is $0. If you are not comfortable with this approach, then move onto the next.
2) Anchor 'Rotation': Evenly select and distribute 2 of 3 Anchors to each of your 4-Team 13pt teaser tickets. With this approach, you are playing on 2 other (non-anchored) Sides or Totals (or a combination of Sides/Totals) and getting an extra 'FREE' 13pt cushion with each of them - if they both win, the entire ticket wins (as long as the Anchors hold of course). There are three possible combinations for your Anchors for each ticket -- 1 & 2, 1 & 3, 2 & 3. To keep things simple, let's imagine we have only 3 tickets in total and laid $100 on each and followed the rotation schedule as mentioned, and assumed a 4-Team 13pt teaser paid out at a nominal -130. If one of the anchors fails, your maximum recoverable dollars would be: original stake on ticket without failed Anchor $100 + payout ($100 x 77%) = $177. (You laid $300 in total at the outset, and lost $123 net.)
3) 3-Way Anchor 'Mirroring': 33.33% of the laid money is evenly distributed to each Anchor. There is only 1 of 3 Anchors present on each ticket with this approach. To keep it simple, let's assume that there are only 3 plays (outside of Anchor selections) that you like on the board this week. Let's also assume a 4-Team 13pt teaser paid out at a nominal -130. In this scenario you have a total of 3 teaser tickets. If one of the anchors fails, your maximum recoverable dollars would be: original stakes recovered ($100 x 2) + payouts ($100 x 77%) x 2 = $354. (You laid $300 in total at the outset, and won $54 net.) This is the most secure method for those new to triple Anchor teasing.
