Daliman's Wong Teasers, Season Deux: Week 7

Thalum · #1 10-21-2007, 01:33 AM

Sorry to sound like an ignorant sheep, but I'm having some trouble understanding how to place these bets (yes I have read the Wong teaser faq).

I understand the concept (I think), however when I go to Pinnacle to place the actual bets, I'm faced with 2 choices:

NFL/College 2-6 Team
NFL Same game

I was under the assumtion that I can tease a single team (Ie. moving washington from -8 to -2) but with "NFL Same Game" I need to select not only Washington -2 but Arizona +16..therefore I need to win both bets to win the teaser? Is this the way it is supposed to work?

When I select the "NFL/College 2-6 Team" it allows me to pick only the Washington -2 and start pairing it with other teasers (I assume to RR them) so this part seems to work fine.

Hopefully there is a quick and easy answer out there for me and I am just missing something small [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks!

Put was/NO together, then was/tb, then was/kc, then was/sea, then NO/TB, then NO/KC, .....all the way to sea/kc. Then you can start with the three team teasers, wrap them all together again, from all angles. For example Was/NO/TB, Was/NO/KC WAS/NO/SEA....NO/TB/KC, NO/TB/SEA, et, al. I don't know about teasing just one team. People do that, but not sure what the ev on that is. I just stick to two team, and three team teasers. Of course, you can then go with 4 teamers and such.

Ok that makes sense. For some reason I though the norm was to bet these piecemeal, but I see that they are all RR's.

Thanks!

Oh man, why is 5dimes showing Wash -8/-3.5, TB +2.5/+7.5, etc?

prodonkey · #5 10-21-2007, 08:16 AM

so you want to do a round robin teaser?

5dimes sucks now for betting teasers. I'm stuck doing them on [censored] Bodog for -110. Oh well.

bodog always shades their lines to the favorite, great for betting dogs though.

Gonna be nice and point it out one last time, if you only have -110 available then you don't rr the 2 teamers (in a multigame week), you go for the 3 teamers at +180. Unless of course you like to give away about half your EV.

And if anyone eventually should reply to this post - open the WongFAQ, scroll down to where MT2R links a post by TomCowley, read.

This is what I'm doing this week. However, not until after I had R/R all the teams did I realize that the variance is way higher betting the 3 teamers over the 2 teamers. The expectation is much higher on a perfect week though.
If we go 6/6 this week I will win 70% of my total bankroll in one week.

Unless I'm mistaken, only place these days u can get even odds on teasers is local as none of online sites do this. 5dimes doesn't count as they shade lines to prevent teasing. Mansion did last yr but close to US now.
