Coops....
You're right about the drought mate!!! :s4: But after the hot run I've been on the last few weeks, I think my girl may just be asking me to go and put on my "Mr. Tease" jacket before I climb in the sack!!
Guys, like I stated in another thread, I am new to these teaser bet options. Local Australian books don’t offer them for AFL football betting, which is my main gambling sport, here in Australia. I have only started dabbling with them in NFL since the early few weeks of this season. Only one of my books (from the UK) offers 7 pointers only. Overall this season I have been hitting these 2 teamers at around 70 odd % at a return of $177 for my $100 outlay. With my recent run over the last 3 weeks where I have concentrated more on them than straight single “line bets” that % has jumped up to over 80 odd % hits for the overall season. I won’t claim to be doing this all on my own as I usually coat-tail some of the other guys here for about a ? of my 2 teamers If I like what they have suggested. Bombercoops has also sharpened me up on some games and key numbers.
What am I getting for this slightly smaller return? I’m getting an extra +14 points combined and a better chance to collect on the already sharp NFL lines. I’m getting some insurance to a degree that helps me collect on the easier games on the card. How many times have we all lost a line bet on a bad call, bad coaching, or a crucial freaking turnover? Considering that the books can conceivably payout on all four possible teaser combinations of a given game, I’m happy to increase my chances of being on the right side of any of those four winning combinations. I honestly would have expected the return to be less given the huge payouts they must hand back on some game results. I also don't need to "sweat" the final few minutes on plenty of these games!!
Yes I could just be having a good run (perhaps with so many faves covering this season) and it may not last but all I can say is that I am going to milk these 2 teamer 7 pointers dry until the cows come home!! It looks to me like plenty of other guys here are doing the same thing with similar success.
To come in here and preach about how we are ripping ourselves off on other possible returns by betting other ways with so many “ifs” and “buts” is just ludicrous. The bottom line is always about making a $ and if it helps to “cheat” in order to get some advantage back from the books well so be it.
You may be right when it comes to 3 or more teamer, 10-13 point teasers……but 2 team 7 pointers are currently cleaning up for me and my account is increasing at a phenomenal rate. I may just be an “amateur”……but I’m cashing when a lot of the guns here are struggling.
