Which would you prefer, teaser or parlay bet?

[freedomgo]

I read a lot of comments about parlays and how exciting this kind of bet is, but we forget that we also have a teaser bet, which I believe is more exciting as we can adjust the spread and total of what the bookies have offered. It's quite easier to convince ourselves with teasers, especially if we really analyze the game we are betting on. Unfortunately, not every sportsbook has this kind of betting option. So what are your thoughts on this?

I'm curious, what exactly is a teaser bet? I do bet but I am not an avid sports bettor, though I know about parlay, it is my first time hearing about "teaser"? what exactly is it and what is the difference between teaser and parlay and why do you think it is more exciting than parlay?

sorry if I answered with another question but I am just curious.

I am not that familiar with the teaser bet rather parlays maybe I will say the local betting site i do use doesn't have this options, in parlays it's better to keep my winnings gradually accumulated while I used the profits to increase my bet size just as I can be able to lose without using all my winnings to bet instantaneously.

Here's the full explaination of the teaser bet.

I understand that some aren't familiar with it since not every sportsbook has teaser bets. If I recall correctly, I made this kind of bet before when Nitrogen Sports was still popular. However, with the popular casinos now, I don't see this option. Maybe it's available on fiat bookies, but it's still worth discussing here.

I have also not heard of teaser before but if I understand what it is, to alter the point spread of the matches selected in a way the odd will reduce, and the payout will reduce. I do not bother myself on my bet. When I bet I do not edit anything again. If I do not watch any of the matches, I may not check the bet until the matches are over. I can not use teaser because it is not useful for me.

This was introduced way back, and I'm just curious why bookies or casinos in the crypto space don't offer it anymore. First, we need to try it to know if it's useful to us or not, but there's likely a reason it's not popular. Perhaps bettors prefer parlays over teasers, or sportsbooks make more money on parlays than on teaser bets.

Also, I like your principle of not checking your bets until the game is over; that requires some discipline, but it would be less stressful as you don't have to deal with the emotional ups and downs while watching the game.

This is a discussion board and asking questions for clarification are allowed. Just like you I am reading about teaser bet for the first time today. And do you know why? It is because I am not an avid sports bettor. I only pick games that I feel very strongly about and I am on my way.

So I decided to look it up and here's what I got from this website about Teasers. For me it sounds a little complicated therefore, I will just stick with what I know for now.

A teaser involves an exchange of points for volume. The bettor buys some number of points, and in return, must parlay two or more selections. Usually, the standard teaser calls for the bettor to get six points per football game and four points per basketball game. In return, they must pick at least two teams, increasing the chances of the bet failing by at least one leg. Like a parlay bet, all of the legs in a teaser must win for the bet to grade as a winner for the listed amount. Often, teasers involve two teams, but some sportsbooks allow up to 10 bets in a teaser.

It’s normal that you will bot be familiar on this bet because it’s a type of parlay bet which is not available in most of crypto sportsbook. In fact I never saw this one so far and probably this is only available on selected fiat sportsbook casino.

This type of bet allowed player to reduce points spread on the match in exchange for lesser payout due. I doubt crypto sportsbook will use this since it makes player easier to win.

Bet builder is the other type of parlay which is available on crypto sportsbook.

I have to do a lot of study about the teaser bet style to be able to use it as it seems strange and not offered by too many sportsbook. I think I have actually seen a sportsbook that offer it and it is pretty cool for the gambler and make the winning easier for them but there is also the risk in it because you could be changing from an option that is winning to something different thereby losing the bet. It is somehow similar to the cashout option which often did not favor the gambler because every minute count in gambling.

I like parlay bets a lot for whatever reason.  I use to have a college football parlay bet every week with a few buddies where we'd print out a slip of paper with about 40 games on it for the week, and we would pick somewhere between 5-10 picks to complete the parlay and the person who hit most of their bets would win the pot for the week.  It was a lot of fun and what kind of introduced me to parlays so I've always been a fan of them sever since.

Teasers over parlays any day for me, but it's a hassle to find one since they're not that common with the crypto sportsbooks.

First, we need to try it to know if it's useful to us or not, but there's likely a reason it's not popular.

We still have a few crypto sportsbooks that offer teasers, you have to dig deeper because they're mostly far from the top of the competition. Even though most crypto sportsbooks don't have teasers you can still replicate them by mixing alternate handicaps until the odds hit close to 1.90~.

Teasers being limited to only a few sports might be another reason, but they're much better than parlays because you can knock down several points on multiple matches.

It's the first time I have read about this so-called "Teaser bet," and upon reading the article posted by the OP, it seems interesting because adjusting the point spread (depending on the sports) would make it really easier to win the bet. I'm not sure what happens to those odds, though, because they should be automatically adjusted, but I believe I would use a teaser bet if I were doing sports betting. I think it's quite interesting.

I didn't see this in Nitrogen Sports when I was a bet there. Is there an update where I could try this out?

With the link you provided and I visited it and read it and there was a statement that teasers are also a type of parlay bet, then I think this teaser is one type of parlay bet that might be almost the same.


But there is a difference after I read from both of them, namely there is a difference in the payment and maybe this can be determined in terms of risk. For people who choose teaser bets, they may not want to take big risks with easier winning chances but the payout is relatively small, and for those who make parlay bets, they are people who dare to take risks because the payout is relatively large but difficult to win, this is the opposite of teaser bets.

Teaser bet is not common on crypto sport books, as I guess, if you can change the +/- spread then it's easy for gamblers to win and so they majority are not opening their sports bet to this kind of betting.

Of course, it this is allow, I will take this kind of bet instead of the parlay As again, it could give some advantage on the gamblers themselves.

Although it's obvious that once you adjust the point spread, the odds will also adjust. Unlike in parlay, once it's done, it can't be change and the odds could increase as more bets are going to get in.

So what are your thoughts on this?

In the two ways of betting as you have mentioned I would say I prefer parlay betting even though teaser betting can also increase odds and can make it easier to win but so far I not that interested in betting on teasers.
Basically teaser betting with parlay is almost the same because we can take bets for two or more team, but what makes it difficult is that we will not easily find casino that provides it, as you said.
However, the advantage of parlay betting itself is that we will be able to increase the chances and of course the odds calculations that can be obtained are much greater and that is quite significant, so far I have only bet single and parlay so I don't have much experience with various other ways of betting.

Teaser bets are too rare to specialize in. This is a type of express bets. But unlike express bets, they are less risky and if they are available to you and you choose between a teaser and a classic express, then of course you should choose a teaser bet. On the other hand, teasers are less profitable, because in exchange for the ability to change bets, the bookmaker lowers your odds. Thus, teaser bets are less risky, but also less profitable than classic express bets. But I think that playing classic express bets is mostly pure gambling. A teaser can fix the situation here. But this is needed not so much for profit, but rather to better understand the mechanics of express bets or to enjoy such construction.

[Jating]

I will still go and prefer parlay bet, this is the very definition of gambling, I mean you bet maybe 5 or 6 multi's and then go for the odds of 20x or higher. No adjustment or changes as the game progress, it is what it is. If you lose one game, then that's it, your parlay is ruined and derailed. And no adjustments whatsoever will change the outcome in my opinion.

And obviously as gamblers we target huge odds because of the payout. And it's more exciting to see how your bets are going to hit without doing anything. Teaser might give us pros, but I don't like it, to be honest.

Are you still making teaser bets now? can you share some sportsbooks that still offer the same?

This was introduced way back, and I'm just curious why bookies or casinos in the crypto space don't offer it anymore. First, we need to try it to know if it's useful to us or not, but there's likely a reason it's not popular.

Teasers being limited to only a few sports might be another reason, but they're much better than parlays because you can knock down several points on multiple matches.

That's the point. You can reduce the spread or the total based on your perspective, so it's like you're making your own choice rather than following what the bookies give you. While this can be done with a parlay bet by looking at the available markets, not all sportsbooks offer a wide range of markets for a certain game. This can take up a lot of time, which is why if teaser bets were offered, it would save us time when making our bets.

The same as others I am also not familiar about teaser bet and I have not tried it. Honestly.

Perhaps, you could've added some information about it from where you are betting because I have not seen it too in popular gambling sites that I use or maybe it's there and I just know nothing about it.

I am just reading the description of it in Google but it will always be better if we can see some samples because it's easier to have an idea about it using those.
The definition of it is actually confusing or maybe because I really have no idea how it is used. 

[TastyChillySauce00]

I'm still going for Parlay. This is because teaser is a bit more complex than parlay. It also pays less than parlay. You have to tease many games to get a decent ROI with it.

It's only good to bet on American football, NFL or NBA. I'm sure people much more familiar to the Parlay instead of teaser.
