To play a teaser, a bettor chooses 3 games to wager on. On each of the games, the bettor receives an additional +6 points on the spread, and wins his wager if all three selected games beat the readjusted spread. For example, a bettor deciding to place a teaser on three games with point spreads of +2, -7.5 and +1.5 wins his wager if the rst team covers at +8, the second team covers at -1.5 and the third team covers at +7.5. If any of the teams does not cover the readjusted spread, 1 then the wager is graded as a loss.
Because scoring in the NFL most commonly comes in chunks of 3(as a result of a eld goal) and 7 (as a result of a touchdown), 3 and 7 are the most common margin of victory (see gure 1). Thus, a teaser in which all the readjusted lines \cross" both the 3 and the 7, i.e., unadjusted lines between -7.5 and -8.5, or between +1.5 and +2.5 (henceforth referred to as teasable games), should hold extra value not possessed by other teasers. This is known as a basic strategy teaser.The Geogia Tech/Miami game crosses the 7, the Virginia Tech/Nebraska game crosses the 3.
The Florida State teaser is clearly the worst one, as I had the option to tease the BYU side from -7 to -1 crossing both the 3 and 7. I just can't make a bet that will make me want to root for my team to lose.
Date placed:I already lost this bet unfortunately, Georgia Tech got trounced in their recent trip to Miami. Their QB is terrible and Miami can pass the ball really well.

As I recall, wong teasers are profitable for the NFL and not College Football, but I don't remember where I heard it or if it's true.
Wong Teasers are most profitable in the NFL but may also work in College. I have done well this year but you need to stick to basic strategy...tease only two games and tease them seven points. Your bet will be -130 but it is worth it. You will hit 75 percent in a combination of NFL and College.
