Does anyone here tease basketball?

[gynecologist]

Just curious to know if anyone here ever invests in basketball teasers..

I have an out that has 6pt -110 teases, much better than the 4-4.5 most places give..

Never. Ever. Will not. Have not. Would not.

Teasers are for NFL football.

I am kinda in a similar situation. I have an option to do 5 Point Teasers at +115. If i I do win a day for the entire NBA Season that's roughly 190 plays. If I hit 50% betting $100/play that's almost $1,500. Anybody have any thoughts on any of this?i am getting really good value, I think?

Thunder -2.5 to Celtics +7 at +115 sounds pretty nice to me.

I made a small wager on Thunder -1.5 to Celtics +8.5 at -110 with my out.. I cant wager serious money on bb teasers but I think this one particular looks good.

bos/phi should be a close game.. Thunder just too much for Lakers especially at home where the Lakers have struggled all season.

any kind of parlay is a terrible idea 90% of the time. but I do know experienced bettors that play them at places that offer great odds (2-team 4pt at -110).

the "best" time to play them (relatively) is towards the end of the season when lines are so sharp.

Generally when I play teasers I end up hitting the spreads in both cases.

I'd replace "play" with the word "win," but this has been my experience too.

Well I don't get to pick mine. Every day 2 Adjusted Lines are available. They usually are adjusted 5-5.5 points. Today the lines are Lakers +12.5 and Boston +7.5. I think +115 for 5 Point Teasers is a pretty solid play.

[gynecologist]

interesting, so they pick the games for you... hmmm

[SkyBlues42]

I can't say that I've never teased a basketball game. Did it a few times in college basketball with mixed results. But yeah, football is the best sport for it.

[ChiefZilla]

Soooo.... those who teased OKC down to -1.5 sure had a hell of a win, amiright?

[patswin]

No I never do. The only times I ever have is in the late stages of the NCAA basketball tournament when the lines are much tighter and the 4 points could help you cover. Other than that I never do.
Not any key numbers like football to cross to make it worthwhile

I tend to stay away from teasers, what I will do though is parlay the points...

For instance the other day I parlayed a soccer ML at about -270, bought 7 points on the Pacers, and bought a goal in the under between LAK and STL. Ended up being close to -110, if I remember correctly.
