Vegas will put the LSU team total around 28. If it's 27.5 I will probably lay down a bunch.

So I wake up to see Air Force shat the bed! Oh well. I bet them and USC -6 straight up so I'm down the juice.

My bud teased Rutgers and USC, as well as Chicago -2 and the over, so he did well last night.

Texas, Navy, Ole Miss, Purdue and Florida are the teams I'll be getting the best possible number on. Good luck!

New kid is fine, the toddler is like owning a jealous spider monkey. Bought a cappuccino machine.

Got LSU and aTM PK in a teaser on Monday. Gonna be pulling for your covers for Ole Miss and Florida. Won't pull for any ML bets though

Serious question, what's with the fascination with teasers for the betters ITT. I mean whatever cashes the ticket cashes the ticket, but it's very unorthodox IMO.

Ah, thank you.

I generally will do a teaser once every couple weeks.

Reason being this week: I feel LSU is the better team and while I wouldn't be surprised if they covered, I'm also not 100% sold on the line since it's -7.5 (terrible number for a game I feel could be close)

Also wouldn't surprise me if aTm covers, but I don't trust their defense, so I want some additional points.

I feel confident that both LSU and aTm will win straight up, so I grabbed both in a teaser before the lines move to get what I want.

Some people use teasers for fun and others use them religiously. So long as you're tactful about it and cross key numbers favorably, they can be helpful. I wouldn't make them my main way of betting though.

Teasers make people feel more comfortable about their line. Last year I played a big teaser and won.

But other than that the only time I do a teaser is when I want action on a couple games but don't really have a feel for it.

This. Usually if I like a couple games but can't get on the right side of a key number, I'll tease those two teams.

I'm wary of adding in 3rd and 4th teams to teasers, but some people have had success doing it.

I'm of the opinion teasers and parlays should never been your betting mainstay, but that's just my opinion.

Yea, I get why people play teasers in general haha. Just saying that it seems like some people in this thread use teasers as their main form of betting and that's a mistake IMO, especially in college football

I'm definitely not trying to tell anyone how to spend their own money though...
