Totally respect your plays but never understood teasing a hoop game. Maybe I'm old school but with lines being so tight in football it makes sense at times. Hoops, especially college, are unpredictable so teasing brings two teams into play when it's already tough enough to win one game. Would love your thoughts on why so large on a tease. Leaned Baylor beforehand at +7. Don't misinterpret. You're one of the cappers I look for each day. Curious though.

I hear your argument. Prior to this year, I was 100% averse to any form of teaser.
This season, however, I began seeing the benefits of utilizing the 5.5 pt/-120 2-team tease. Moving a medium-sized underdog from 8/8.5 to 13.5/14 is a rather considerable jump. Too often, underdog bettors like myself will have a team lead for much of the game, only to lose steam at the end and miss the cover by a point or two due to an end-of-game foulfest. Similarly, bringing down an 8/8.5 pt favorite to 2.5/3 (one possession) often mitigates the unpredictability of the foulfest and relies much more upon the (slightly favored) team just winning the game.
I'll use my Alabama PK/Washington +10 tease from last Thursday. Bama has trouble covering numbers as a favorite because of their style of play and plodding offense. But Arkansas simply doesn't win SEC road games. Bringing 'Bama from 6 to PK eliminates the need for a cover and merely relies on Arkansas continuing its streak of conference road losses. Along those same lines, I knew Washington was going to give Arizona a helluva game, but a few 50/50 plays at the in the final minute or two can turn an outright win into a 6/7 point loss.
You are certainly correct, though, that a teaser of more than two teams is very much a losing proposition.

I do a few 5.5 pt 2 team tease everyday. I love them. If you feel good one way on a game and then u can add 5.5 points just makes it so much more comfortable..I think -120 for 5.5 pts for 2 teams is pretty good value. I think if you tried it rizzy you would end up liking it and maybe start playing a few yourself each night...just my 2 cents
Best of luck to all...
