What a teaser is
A teaser is a parlay where you move every line in your favour by a set number of points, usually 6 to 7 in football. In exchange, the payout is much lower than a normal parlay.

How it works
Teaser calculator: the basics
How lines move
Spreads gain the points: a 6-point teaser turns -7.5 into -1.5 and +2.5 into +8.5. Totals move in your favour too: an over 44.5 becomes over 38.5, and an under becomes under 50.5.
Teaser prices
Teasers pay fixed prices that depend on the number of legs and points. A common 6-point football table is -120 for 2 teams, +160 for 3 and +260 for 4, but sportsbooks differ, so the price is editable.
Break-even per leg
A 2-team teaser at -120 needs each leg to win about 73.9% of the time to break even. Teasers make most sense when the points move a line through common winning margins, like 3 and 7 in the NFL.

FAQ
Teaser calculator questions
How does a 6-point teaser work?
Every spread and total in the teaser moves 6 points in your favour, and all legs must win. The payout is set by the sportsbook's teaser table.
What is a Wong teaser?
A strategy for NFL teasers that only uses favourites of -7.5 to -8.5 and underdogs of +1.5 to +2.5, so a 6-point tease crosses both 3 and 7, the most common winning margins.
What happens if a teaser leg pushes?
It depends on the sportsbook. Some drop the leg and reduce the teaser, others count a push as a loss. Check your sportsbook's rules.
