The most crucial distinction is the handling of pushes: Well, for one, it is essential to know your book’s teaser rules. And since not all point spreads are created equal due to the frequency that games end on football’s key numbers, we can use the fixed odds in our favor to make +EV wagers. That means it doesn’t matter which spreads you pick for your teaser or what the original juice was on each of those spreads. The reason teasers can be a +EV bet is that it is a fixed-odds bet. Nevertheless, below is an example of what a three-team, six-point teaser with +150 odds would look like: Team A -8.5 now Team A -2.5 Instead, they want you to take the -9 spread and land on -3, giving them extra points of cushion. In short, they don't want to give you a -7 spread that you can use a six-point teaser on to bring to -1. However, you are required to pick from the spreads that are displayed on the default screen, and this is why books throw out non-key numbers with lopsided juice.
You pick a set number of points and a certain number of teams, and each spread is moved in your favor by the selected point amount. For the uninitiated, a teaser is a combo bet (like a parlay) with fixed odds (unlike a parlay).
