Generally, teasers are good bets if you are looking for a middle-ground between a bunch of straight bets and a standard parlay bet. However, as expected, your win return is slightly smaller than a standard parlay bet. You are effectively ‘buying’ yourself added points in your parlay, which increases your chances of winning. You can see why teaser betting can be popular. Your new teaser bet would look like this: This means that Pittsburgh would need to not lose by more than 11 points, Green Bay would need to avoid defeat by no more than 3 points, and Arizona would need to win by just two points or more. In a three-team, 6-point teaser, you would be given an extra three points in your favor for each leg. Let’s say you are interested in placing a 6-point NFL teaser bet based on these three legs: In other words, the spread will change by a specific number of points in your favor. Teasers allow you to combine multiple point spreads together into a parlay, but also give you the ability to ‘buy’ points for the spread. Teaser betting is essentially a special form of parlay betting.
