yes!

if your going to tease, BOTH teams need to be gaining the 3 and the 7 (99% of the time, the other 1% you are getting the 1/2 off the 3) if not, flat bet.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not if the flat bets are less +EV than the tease.

Exactly right. I think his argument is if all bets are equally +EV, don't waste your time with the tease, but maybe I misunderstood.

The ONLY way a teaser is +EV is if BOTH teams cross the 3 and ther 7.

Thats it, plain and simple.

If you going to argue otherwise, then go ahead. Time will (and has) prove(en) you wrong.

To wrap this up in a short and sweet manner, do you see any value to diversifying risk through teasing in the manner described (one play capturing 3/7, the other stronger ATS play capturing only 7/10)?

No. The 3 is the foundation of the play.
