While the majority of online sports betting action comes with picking winners and losers, there is another option in the football and basketball world that is used just as often by sports fans looking for a little bit of a handicap to increase their odds of winning. While it increases the amount of juice on a potential loss, there is a much greater chance that a teaser will come through with those extra points taken making the difference in spreads that are often so close in both sports.
Teasers are simple to learn and readily available, and the best part is that they can be taken either way with the favorite or the underdog. Where the spread is only available to be wagered on for the favorite, and the points go one way, a teaser can handicap those spreads in whichever <sports betting bonus way that the player wants it to. For example, if the New England Patriots are favored by 13.5 against the Buffalo Bills, teasers of five, six, or seven points can be used on either side. So if the seven-point teaser is selected, then that number is added to the total for whatever side the players wants. If they selected the Patriots, then the spread will change from 13.5 down to 6.5, and New England will only have to win by seven to win the wager. If they wager on Buffalo, then the Bills only have to stay within 20 for the play to be a win. It’s a simple option, and if the line is too close to call it could be a good choice for those that want to increase their odds of winning.
