Sportsbook Wager Type: Teasers

New to sportsbook wagers? A Teaser wager type lets you adjust the line in your favor.

A Teaser wager lets you adjust the line in your favor when betting on 2 or more teams. You change the point spread to make your bet easier to win.

How Teasers Work

  • You choose 2 or more teams.

  • You pick how many points to “tease” — like 6, 10, or 13 points.

  • The spread moves in your favor by that amount.

Example:

  • Patriots are -7.

  • Bills are -10.

  • You pick a 6-point teaser.

  • New lines:

    • Patriots are now -1.

    • Bills are now -4.

    • Your bet wins only if both teams cover the new lines.

Teaser Bets: Terms and Conditions

Any loss = total loss of the teaser bet.

  • A push (tie) in a 2-team teaser = refund.

  • A push in a 3 to 7-team teaser = bet drops one level (e.g., 6-team becomes 5-team.)

NFL Teaser Extra Charges

Extra fees apply on NFL 2, 3, or 4-team teasers when:

  • A line crosses both 3 and 7 points.

  • A line lands on 3 or 7 and crosses the other.

  • A line comes off 3 or 7 and crosses the other.

Fees:

  • 2-team teaser: +5 cents per team.

  • Examples:

    • Example 1 — Extra 5 cents:

    • Broncos -9 teased to -3

    • Patriots -14 teased to -8

    • Broncos crossed 7 and landed on 3 → +5 cents → Final juice: -115

  • Example 2 — Extra 10 cents:

    • Jets +2.5 teased to +8.5

    • Panthers +3 teased to +9

    • Jets crossed both 3 and 7 Panthers came off 3 and crossed 7 → +10 cents → Final juice: -120
