When to bet Teasers

Okay now you know how teasers work, now time to explain when is the best time to make a teaser bet. Here are a couple examples of when we advise considering betting a football teaser bet.

First scenario, you like 2 small underdogs and expect the games to be very close and also believe they both have a chance to win the game outright. Making a 2 team 6 point teaser bet in this situation is giving you some added assurance. For example the Jets are getting +2.5 against Baltimore, and the Bears are getting +3 against Minnesota. You now have the Jets +8.5 and the Bears +9. If both games are tight (within one score) like you predict they will be the teaser bet is a smart angle to play.

Another scenario we like is playing favorites in the -2.5 to -8.5 range. For example the Packers are -8.5 against Buffalo, and the Cowboys are -2.5 against Washington. Making a 2 team 6 point football teaser bet would give you the Packers -2.5 who now only need to win by a field goal, and getting +3.5 with the Cowboys, who can now even lose the game by a field a goal and still win your teaser bet for you. By making teaser bets in the -2.5 to -8.5 points spread range you are essentially skipping over key numbers like 3, 4, 6, and 7 and sometimes even getting the biggest key number of them all 3 back in your favor.
