A teaser is a type of parlay that allows you to adjust the point spread or total in your favour at the cost of a lower payout. This is also referred to as “teasing” the line, which is where this type of bet gets its name.
What is Eligible to be Teased?
Similar to parlays, at least two or more eligible selections must be added to your betslip in order to place a teaser bet. Unlike parlays however, only the mainline point spread and total markets on any football and basketball game will be eligible to be teased.
When building a teaser, the number of points available to buy will depend on the sport. For football teasers, anywhere from 3.0 -> 10.0 points will be available to buy, and for basketball, anywhere from 3.0 -> 8.0 points will be available to buy, depending on the availability of alternate lines.
You can even build a football and basketball teaser on your betslip at the same time, but it should be noted that cross-sport teasers will not be permitted (cannot combine a football and basketball point spread in a single teaser).
To make the process of building teasers easier for you, ineligible selections will be filtered out of the teasers tab, and football and basketball selections will be grouped into their own sections on the teaser tab.
Please note that we only offer the option to buy points, not sell.
Restrictions on Teasers
Teaser bets will not be eligible on live games. If a game goes live after it’s been added to your betslip, you will be instructed to remove all corresponding in-play selections before being able to proceed. Alternate lines will also not be eligible for teasers.
It is also important to note that selections from the same game will not be eligible to be teased, meaning you cannot combine the point spread and total from the same game in a single teaser. If you would like to place a Parlay+ bet (same game parlay), please use the parlay+ tab of the betslip.
How are Teasers Graded?
Teasers will be graded identically to parlay bets. You can view the complete details in our House Rules.

Example
Let’s say you think that the Nets, Warriors and Hawks will each cover the spread in their respective games, but you want to “buff” the odds in your favour a little to ensure a win. In this case, you’d want to build a teaser.
- Click into each of the upcoming games, and add the mainline point spread for each team to your betslip.
- Open the Betslip and tap into the Teaser tab to review your selections.
- Say you want to decrease how many points each team needs to cover the spread by, let’s say by 4.0 points. Use the points picker to buy 4.0 points.
- Once chosen, you can see how this affects the spread and odds for your 3 picks right in your betslip.
- Enter a wager amount and click Place Bet.
- Click My Bets to follow the action.
