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).

As a Pitt fan, I don't normally bet on Steeler games but teasing this one is just too much to pass on for tonight. I grabbed Pitt +14.5 and under 53.5. I also put a small amount on the moneyline just for the hell of it. Again, these were just for fun because the Colts scare the hell out of me.

I do like the under though but I expect Pitt to come out throwing on their first drive to surprise them and then settle down and run the ball every drive after that (unless they fall behind). Also, look for some reverses to keep Freely from coming full steam and forcing him to stay "home". As always, look for a possible pass in that situation at least once as well, El to Ward (I hope).
