While teaser bets have become increasingly popular among sports betting players wagering on the NFL, they have yet to catch on as heavily when it comes to basketball, both in the NBA and at the college level. Part of the reason for this is how tricky basketball teasers can be, but in the right hands, it can also be a powerful tool. A teaser bet is a wager that involves two or more point spreads locked together, with the ability to apply either 4, 4.5, or 5 to the spread in exchange for a higher risk and less reward. For example, if three teams were listed at minus-5 for a game, then all three can be changed to minus-1, with the price going up somewhat and the potential winnings slightly decreased.

This method can be a huge help for a player that thinks they have three locks, but is looking for a bit of an edge to guarantee they beat the spreads listed by the pay head bookies. Those that make the odds can be incredibly accurate with the spreads, as anyone who plays these games knows by how consistently close they usually get to matching the final result with the spread. Those extra four or five points can in most cases be the difference between the win and a loss, with the higher profile games that much more likely to come through as those making the Betonline spread get the closest with the games that they pay the most attention on, like for example an ACC rivalry game between the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels. The teaser can also be applied to games where there was a major line shift due to the public betting hard on what side, which allows the player to move the line back closer to its original number, as well as beating out the possibility of those games that come down to a ton of last second free throws causing another bad beat.
