Teaser Bet
A parlay with adjusted point spreads in the bettor's favour.
Full Explanation
A teaser is a special type of parlay where the point spreads or totals are adjusted in the bettor's favour in exchange for reduced odds. All selections in a teaser must still win for the bet to pay out. They're most effective when crossing key numbers in the spread.
💡 Example
2-team 6-point teaser: Team A from -7.5 to -1.5, Team B from +1.5 to +7.5 at 1.91 odds.
