In most cases, a two-team teaser where one bet wins and one bet pushes will be refunded while a loss/push results in a full loss. A push is a special sports betting term for a tie bet. It’s really important to understand each sportsbook’s rules for pushes within a teaser.

For now, as long as you understand the basic concept of how a teaser works you’ll be able to make sense of any variation you see on a site. There are so many varieties of teasers that you need to make sure you read through each sportsbook’s terms and conditions to see their specific rules. Sometimes teasers will even allow the punter to combine NBA games with NFL games in the same teaser. Nowadays teasers for football and basketball come in many shapes, names and sizes.

Larger teaser bets with more than two games are often called a super teaser, special teaser, big teaser, or monster teaser and they combine three, four or five games into one ticket.

Vegas teaser or two-team teaser: This “normal” version of a teaser bet is for only two games and lines are generally moved by 6, 6.5, or 7 points up or down, and ties on any part of the bet usual refunds the whole ticket.

That is because you are increasing the likelihood of a win and therefore lowering the payout odds.Īlso important to remember and distinguish there are two types of teaser bets: The tradeoff for better spreads and totals is that the payout is reduced on a winning ticket.

Totals – You can also tease a score by moving the over/under line up or down.

For example, if the original spread has the underdog at +4.5, having them in a 7-point teaser means the new spread is +11.5 and they can now lose by up to eleven points.

Added to the underdog – the underdog can lose by even more than the original spread.

For example, if a team is a -8 favorite and you have them in a 7-point teaser, they now only need to win by more than 1 to cover the spread on your teaser bet.

Subtracted from the favorite – the favorite has to win by up to seven points less than the original spread.

With the point spread tease, the line can shift in one of two ways:

Teaser bets in football let add or subtract 6, 6.5, or 7 points from the point spread or the over/under totals line. The downside is that you have to win all your games to win the teaser bet, and you have to pay an extra premium depending on how many points you tease (move) the line by. The main benefit of teasers bets is that a better point spread makes it easier to win your bets. Making a teaser bet requires combining two or more games into one ticket and choosing how many points you want to move the point spread or over/under (total) lines in favor of the teams you’re betting on to win.
