Teaser NFL WEEK 1

[Meeks2]

I looking at a four team, 12 point teaser:

Denver @ Buffalo: Denver +10
Steelers @ Browms: Steelers +8.5
Patriots @ Jets : Pats +6.5
Bucs @ Seattle: Hawks +7

good bet?

[rsigley]

nope

[Meeks2]

Of course its a good bet. I covered all spreads by atleast 8 points today and I am 6-1 this year at teasers. know your roll donk

Continue to cross the zero with these DONK teasers. You will go broke you DONKEY.

No, bad bets can win too and fortunately for you that's what happened in this case. Here are some reasons it was a bad bet:
1- 4 team 12 pt teasers are -EV to start with
2- on all 4 of these games you wasted a point crossing the 0
3- even with 12 pts/game you failed to capture the 7 with NE and only got half of it on another game

Bad Bet?

[censored] the -EV
there was no way possible that i could lose.
All of these teams with these spreads were absolutly without a doubt locks. There was no way that the favorites here were not going to cover getting atleast a touch down. They didn't even need the points they all covered by a huge margin, didnt even have to sweat one game out. I'll take this bet all day. Like i said i'm 6-1 this year playing this type of teasers. Now In college football where there is a larger varience in scoring margins, then yeah its tougher. But the favorite getting a touch down or more in the NFL is money in the bank. So you can keep hating on the odds but you can't deny the results.

I agree with Meeks. I understand the theoretical reasons as to why this bet 'might' be -eV. But c'mon, those were all LOCKS.

so how much did you bet?
and how much did you win?

If these were such locks then it would have been better to bet all 4 straight up. There are no such things as 4 locks in one week of NFL football, even when teased to 12 pts. These are fun to sweat, but I wouldn't plan on consistently building your roll with this these plays.
