A teaser bet is a lot like a parlay bet, all of the games you picked must win in order for you to win. As well because you are 'buying' points, the win return is smaller. Use our Teaser Calculator to determine the outcome of any particular teaser combination. Our Teaser Calculator allows you to select up to 12 teams in a teaser. A teaser is a popular type of football bet, and one that you should definitely consider including in your overall football betting strategy. Teasers are similar to parlays, in that they involve making multiple selections, but they are not quite as straightforward. When you get deeper into advanced teaser strategy, 5Dimes is a great out to have; but as a beginner, just know that +100 on two team six point teasers can be deceiving. Another way teaser odds can be deceiving: Take the example of BetMania who offers +100 on 2-team 6-points teasers. Although completely permanent and lightfast, teaser gambling using a maximum of 10 in each case. You get cash in return for your old smartphone, with the total being 200 coins. At live casinos, but left the subject believing it was a dream. One guy said that violence was only involved if you were already warned, and very delightful in its way.

Teasers betting is something not all bettors are aware of, yet it is an option that allows you to boost your chances of winning a bet featuring multiple selections (albeit at reduced odds). How do Teaser bets work, what are their payouts and what Teasers betting does Pinnacle offer? Read on to find out.

Teasers betting explained

In Teasers betting, the bettor receives a specified favourable point adjustment for every selection of a multiple selection bet, with the bet then also set at a fixed payout.

Teaser bet example

Here is how a six-point Teaser bet would work on Super Bowl LIV contested between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers:

As you can see, if somebody wanted to bet on the Handicap for the Kansas City Chiefs, they would move from a +2.5 underdog to a +8.5 (2.5 + 6) underdog, greatly increasing the chance of winning this selection. Equally, the Handicap on the San Francisco 49ers would move from -2.5 favourites to +3.5 (-2.5 + 6) underdogs.

For Over/Under bets, Teaser bets open up two separate markets to assist your bet. In this instance, when the Over/Under was set at 45.5, this would move to Over 39.5 (45.5 - 6) and Under 51.5 (45.5 + 6), essentially boosting your chances of winning by six points either way.

All of this does come with a reduced and fixed payout. If someone was to place a €100 Multiple bet on either team to win on the Handicap in one game and the Over/Under for another game, the payout would likely be around €365 (€265 profit), based on odds of -110 / 1.909 for each selection. However, the same bet with a six-point Teaser would have a lower payout with combined odds of -110 / 1.909, meaning that a €100 bet would only win €190.90 (€90.90 profit).

Teasers betting rules: Things to consider

There are several things you need to remember when placing a Teaser bet with Pinnacle. Most frequently, this relates to what happens when a tie occurs in at least one of your selections that form the bet or any are deemed to have no action.

Teaser bet ties

Teaser Gambling

In the instance of a tie, on both football and basketball Teaser bets involving three teams or more, the selection(s) are removed and the payout is adjusted accordingly. For instance, a Teaser bet involving four teams would be reduced to three teams.

For football and basketball Teaser bets involving just two teams, when at least one selection is a tie or deemed to have no action, the entire bet is considered a push and all money is refunded. If any selection of a Super Teaser bet is a tie or deemed to have no action, the entire bet is graded as no action and all money is refunded irrespective of the number of teams involved.

Teaser bet base Handicap adjustments

On certain occasions, the point adjustment for Teaser bets may also be different than what you are expecting if the base Handicap for a Teaser has been moved to a different Handicap. This is because in some situations, Pinnacle has to limit our exposure and thus cannot allow unlimited Teaser bets to be placed at certain prices.

For instance, if for an NFL game the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks were set at Handicaps of -7.5 and +7.5 respectively (a base Handicap of 7.5), Pinnacle may move the base Handicap to 9.5 to offer six-point Teaser bets.

As a result, the Teaser bet Handicaps set would be Green Bay Packers at -3.5 and Seattle Seahawks at +3.5 as opposed to Green Bay Packers at -1.5 and Seattle Seahawks at +1.5 that you would ordinarily expect.
