What is a Teaser Calculator?

A Teaser Calculator is an essential tool for sports bettors who want to determine the potential payout and implied probability of a teaser bet. A teaser is a type of parlay bet that allows you to adjust the point spread or total for a game in your favor. However, because you are receiving extra points to reduce your risk, the potential payout is lower than a standard parlay.

This calculator helps you estimate returns based on the number of teams (legs) in your bet, the specific sport (NFL, NBA, College), and the number of points you are "teasing" the line by. Whether you are betting a standard 2-team 6-point NFL teaser or a massive 5-team NBA teaser, understanding the math behind the payout is crucial for long-term profitability.

How to Calculate Teaser Payouts

Teaser payouts are generally fixed odds based on the number of teams and points selected, unlike traditional parlays which calculate true odds based on the individual prices of each leg. Calculating the potential return involves these steps:

  • Select Sport & Points: Different sports dictate the standard points. For NFL, 6, 6.5, and 7 points are standard. For NBA, 4, 4.5, and 5 points are common.
  • Identify the Moneyline Odds: Sportsbooks assign American odds (e.g., -120, +150) to specific teaser combinations. For example, a standard 2-team 6-point NFL teaser often pays -120 (bet $120 to win $100).
  • Convert to Decimal: To find the multiplier, convert American odds. If odds are negative (-110), divide 100 by the odds value. If positive (+150), divide the odds by 100. Add 1 to this number.
  • Calculate Profit: Multiply your wager amount by the decimal conversion (minus 1) to find your pure profit.

Common Teaser Odds Reference

While odds vary by sportsbook ("juice"), here are the standard Las Vegas benchmarks used by this calculator:

  • NFL 6-Point Teaser: 2 Teams (-120), 3 Teams (+160), 4 Teams (+260).
  • NFL 7-Point Teaser: 2 Teams (-140), 3 Teams (+120), 4 Teams (+200).
  • NBA 4-Point Teaser: 2 Teams (-110), 3 Teams (+170).

Note: Always shop for lines. If a book offers a 2-team 6-point teaser at -110 ("Wong Teaser" pricing) instead of -120, your long-term expected value increases significantly.

Strategic Tips for Teasers

The most mathematically advantageous teasers are often found in the NFL, specifically the "Wong Teaser." This strategy involves teasing a favorite of -7.5 to -8.5 down to under a field goal (-1.5 to -2.5), or teasing an underdog of +1.5 to +2.5 up to over a touchdown (+7.5 to +8.5). Crossing key numbers like 3 and 7 is the primary objective of any sharp teaser strategy.
