As some know, I've been getting into sports betting lately. I had a really good NFL weekend, so I have some extra cash and decided to use $10 on a teaser that paid +805 ($80.5). Basically, you have to hit all of them to win while the book gives you a handful of points in your favor (varies by sports). So if it's Nets +10 it becomes Nets +14.
Well, it hit, which was great of course. Then looking back on it, I realized I could've done a parlay and the odds would have been +2300. So, $10 pays $230. But it doesn't stop there, as I could've done a pleaser (you give points up so Nets +10 becomes +6) and it would've won. No one ever does these, but if I had done it, $10 would have paid me +35000 or $3500.
