BOL to everyone
I've never had an online betting account and don't need one since I live in Vegas, so I don't know what the rest of you have available out there... but I'd like to share a few words on the concept of the Reverse Teaser:
Simply put, a Reverse Teaser Card inflates the spreads so that the favorites either have to win big or the dogs have to cover big or win by a few, depending on the lines.
On average, the line is inflated about 7.5 points in either direction. Obviously it's difficult to pick 3 winners (minimum parlay in Vegas) but the payout is incredible.
For example, at the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino a 3-Leg Reverse Teaser paid out 25-1 odds... that was until they did away with them 3 weeks ago... precisely a week after the Week 7 massacre when when all the faves won big. Now the only place you can find them is the Hard Rock and the Palms.
I'm by no means suggesting that Reverse Teasers are great bets to make. I am, however, suggesting that once in a great while an opportunity presents itself where you might take a good shot or six.
Consider a couple possibilities for this week:
Indy -7.5 Ari -15.5
SD -10.5 NE -17.5
Wash +6.5 Ten -2.5
In Vegas, Reverse Teasers don't include U/O totals but they do include the NCAA FB games on the same card as well. I would have hit last week had South Cackalacka been able to squeeze out another 3 points vs. Florida.
Don't know about you guys, but I am for sure taking a few shots down the field this week, and I welcome all questions, comments, concerns, and advice on Reverse Teasers... and some WINNERS!!!
