what was the purpose of those teasers?

He offers 10 pt teasers @-120. I used games that were borderline plays and games that had already moved 1-2 points so it was like teasing 12 points. I was going to ask for advice on teasers, but I just took some shots on my own. None of his games are BOXED so you can tease everything. Must be 3 team 10 pt.,teaser. Just cant tease both side and total on same game. Oh, and another interesting caveat; only can tease max of one total per teaser.
 
You need each leg of a 3 team 10pt er to win more than ~82% of the time to win at -120. Ties typically lose on 10pters too. 5dimes only charges -110 on these so -120 isn't anything special.

So if the original bet was 50/50 you need those 10 extra pts to matter more than 82% of the time, which on totals I doubt it ever does. Any extra pts you are getting from the stale lines is probably better used just straight betting them. The teaser wont increase the ev, it might lessen it though.

On sides you could probably finds some way to take advantage of stale lines with teasers. If say he has an NFL game at -6.5 and the market has moved to 7 or 7.5, I would imagine +3.5 would be a good leg. Or a -2.5 that has moved to 3 should be good going to +7.5 the other way.

WOW. That's an eye opener. I knew that -120 was a bit higher than bovada as I compared the 2, just erroneously thought the extra pts would negate the extra juice. I must be more selective going forward on the teasers. Any teaser tools out there? I've been using half-point calculator in conjunction with pinny drop down for every one of my straight bets.
