This may be old news, but even though the odds at WSEX on a 2-team 6-point NFL teaser is -110, all ties PUSH. This leads to the unusual situation where if you have an early game and a late game and your early game loses, you're rooting for your late game to tie rather than win. Wong even mentions this paradox in his book.

I picked up ATL +2.5 > +8.5 and IND -8.5 > -2.5 just now at WSEX. That's the only pure Wong teaser I can find this week. (No ties in that teaser)

I'm not sure how to price the added value for ties. But since the play has no chance of tying, you should have wagered at Mansion or 5dimes. The difference between -110 and +100 is quite large.

Being a proud citizen of the People's Democratic Republic of Bush, I have been shut out of Mansion's Sportsbook. And, as mentioned previously, 5Dimes seems to like playing with their teaser lines. Even though IND is -8.5 -110 if you want to bet them straight up, their 6-point teaser menu has them at -4, implying a line of -10. Weird, huh?

If by 'weird' you mean 'fraudulent', then yes, very weird.

This is another example of why I don't play with these crooks. They steal bonuses, cancel steam bets, and make more grading errors than any other book.
