What sites are "safe" for Wonging?

TomCowley's work on Kelly Betting and Wong Teasers is must reading for the advantage gambler

riveting stuff, but math heavy for most casual punters

Is there ever any +EV situation to use the 5, 5.5, 6.5, 7pt etc teasers?

I was thinking with 5dimes trying to counter the teasers, if you could use a different teaser amount to negate/backfire on them.

e.g. All books have BAL at 2.5, 5 dimes has them at 3. would the better vig of a 5 point teaser on the 5 dimes line overcome the inti-teaser linemaking?

[TomCowley]

When the game is shaded that way, it's not anti-teaser, it's GREAT for teasers. If you tease 6, you get a push on the 9 (which would have been a loss), and if you tease 5.5, you get the same numbers as +2.5 teased 6 and a higher payout. Teasing a softer line is +EV (maybe not as much as just betting the soft line, but that's a different question). When a game is truly +3, and you have to tease from +2.5, you're giving up a half-point (and not getting a true wong), which is bad.

[Schwatt]

You are right, 5 Dimes shades them the other way, I was thinking backwards.

So should (TRUE)2 1/2 and 7 1/2 point spreads be teased to 5 points to get the better vig, or is the extra point worth 5 cents or whatever on a 2 teamer?
