Indy/Pitt Under

im strongly leaning towards teasing down to indy -2 and bringing o/u down to 41ish and going over, thoughts?

I was kind thinking the opposite (sort of) Indy -2/Under 54. I cant see Rothlesberger (sp) throwing alot. I agree with early comments, this game will be spent on the ground rather than the air. Just my 2 cents. GL.

I teased it down to -2 and paired it with the under 54. I know that I should get the favorite tied with the over but I think Pittsburg will be running a lot tonight and will make the under a good bet.

Why all these teases? Do people here not realize that any tease involving a total is a really bad idea? The move from 48 to 54 on the total is only worth about 70 cents - it needs to be worth more than twice that to be profitable in a tease.

At least you got it right by teasing IND (crossing the 7 and the 3), but the people who picked PIT on a tease along with the total seem to like throwing money away.

There are several examples in this thread of how to throw away money.

Action. If I can't pick a side or don't have much time to properly look over a game I will sometimes make a small teaser bet just so I have a little more than a rooting interest.

Speaking for myself, no I didn't realize that [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I have actually been doing very good on these this season and the tease has saved my bacon a few times.

How do you calculate that or how do you find that information. It seems to me that that could be some good info to have.

Yea, I did something right [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

A couple of new things to keep in mind for me though, thanks for the insight.

how valuable are teasers on bears-level, like 33, totals? seems like they would be worth substantially more there.

There are no 6 points that are worth teasing when it comes to totals - however, I do get a reasonable number for teasing o34 to o28 (nearly twice the difference of going from u48 to u54).
