Step 1: Understand the different types of teasers.
Different sports books will have different rules.
There’s the regular teaser for lower subtraction of points but a higher payout.
Or there are the special teasers, with big, juicy point subtraction, but a smaller payout.
Special teasers come in many different varieties, some are only for college games, others for only basketball, some are particular to a specific sportsbook, but these are the two most common ones:
The 4-team 13 pointer in football/10 pointer in basketball.
The 3-team 10 pointer in football/8 pointer in basketball.
Names for these teasers might vary from sportsbook to sportsbook––be prepared for things like Monster Teaser, Big Teaser, Super Teaser, etc. -
Step 2: Call your favorite sportsbook.
After your trusty clerk’s initial greeting, give him your account number and password, and ask for the games you’re interested in.
You can make a special teaser with one game by taking both teams, plus the over and under, going for that middle.
You can also combine football and basketball together or professional and collegial leagues.
If you want only one game, ask for it, but if you want to hear the complete board, ask for a rundown.
Have a pen and the sports’ schedule with you!, A complete rundown can vary anywhere between two lines to up to more than fifty in college football or basketball.
You’ll want to write the lines down to study them.
With teasers, this is even more important because you’ll be adding and subtracting points before you decide what picks you want to take., You can take the four-teamer, which offers more points.
Or the three-teamer with still a very good ten-point subtraction.
Two important factors you should consider here:
Both special teasers have the same payout.
In most sportsbooks it will be
-110, so risking $110 to win $100.
Ties lose in both types of special teasers.
Pick your teams and totals.
You can take a teaser with only teams-to-win, or combined with totals.
Compare:
Real Lines (NFL) Saints Pk (NFL) Giants Under 53 (NCAA football) Georgia Tech +5.5 (WNBA) Lynx Under
155.5 3-team Special Teaser $110/100
- 10 pts in football/8 pts in basketball (NFL) Saints +10 (NCAA football) Georgia Tech +15.5 (WNBA) Lynx Under
163.5 3-team regular teaser $100/170
- 7 pts in football/5 pts in basketball (NFL) Saints 13 (NFL) Giants Under 53 (NCAA football) Georgia Tech +18.5 (WNBA) Lynx Under
165.5 ,, Begin by telling the clerk what kind of play you want.
To ask for the teaser in the middle column above, you’d say: “I want a three-team ten-point special teaser.”, It is not necessary to give the clerk the lines.
For the example above, you would say: “With the Saints, Georgia Tech, and Minnesota Lynx under.”, A simple “for twenty” is enough to let the clerk know that you want to risk the necessary amount to win $20.
If you say nothing after listing your picks, the clerk will prompt you by asking “for how much?” If you prefer, you can wait for this moment to give him the amount., The clerk will now ask you if you need anything else.
If that’s the only play you want to make, say “no thank you”.
The clerk will proceed to give you the read back.
Listen carefully and make sure you’re taking the teams, the lines and the amount you wanted.
If everything is in order, confirm your parlay by giving the clerk your account number and password one last time.
The clerk will then thank you and end the call., -
