Teaser

Teaser

Basic Betting

Definition

A special parlay where the bettor adjusts (teases) the point spreads or totals in their favor for a lower payout. Teasers are common in spread sports (not applicable in a typical boxing match).

Formula

No fixed formula; you add a set number of points to underdogs or subtract from favorites in each leg, reducing risk but also reducing odds.

Example

In football a 6-point **teaser** might turn a -7 favorite into -1. In boxing (with no point spread) teasers aren’t used, so this bet type isn’t relevant to a Canelo–Crawford fight.
