Result Summary:

P(L) = Profit (Loss)

Starting balance: 40,000
Turnover: 4,080
P(L): (3,600)
Closing balance: 36,400

The teaser in my previous post lost^^^ after the first leg.

^^^: I just had another look at the terms and conditions for teasers' and they state, if a teaser is reduced to one selection, then the teaser will be treated as a single and paid out at the fixed odds.

Note: I think most US style teasers' would still have a chance of a "push" if you tie on all other plays (eg Tie-Tie-Lose, would = "bet is void" / money back )

720*** to win 1440 on the Nuggets +7.5 / Raptors +8.0 / Celtics +9.0

***: Even though the "teams that I picked" are based on real bets, they may not correspond to my "real bank roll / real bet amounts", as my regular NBA playoffs bets are not included in any balance figure in this thread (in other words I am trying to simulate what someone would/should bet "if they were only betting on these teasers).

***: 35 bets x 50 units per bet (so these figures are the "max loss" and "max win" amounts)

Note : All bets above are "4-teams teasers", so the odds are +340 for all of them

----
Reminder of how I am doing these bets:

. I don't have an opinion about the teams I am betting on (or betting against).
. Using a site (mainly Pinnacle) to get a "rough idea of who to back" (eg current odds, shifts / line movements, etc)
. Not "crossing or touching a tie", see teaser section in the link here for more details (this is the reason why I am only teasing underdogs and / or favorites better than -5.5, for these 5-pt teasers).

link to original post


The bets still have to win, but just by going by the "current Pinnacle odds", I think most of the lines shifted in my favor (see below):

Note 1: Pinnacle uses -105 / -105, as their average lines for the NBA.
Note 2: For any lines that were not close to -105 / -105 with pinnacle, I had to guess what the line would be to convert it to a "50/50 line" ( -105 / -105 line).
Note 3: These shifts are still subject to change, since most games haven't started yet.


Hawks went from +2 to about +1.4 (odds -107 @ +1.5, atm) - so I got about the equivalent of about a 5.6 pt teaser.

Pelicans went from +2.5 to about +2.25 ( odds -112 @ +2.5, atm) - so I got about the equivalent of about a 5.25 pt teaser.

Celtics went from +2.0 to about +1.0 (odds -106 @ +1.0, atm) - so I got about the equivalent of about a 6.0 pt teaser.

76ers went from -8 to about -7.25 (odds -110 @ -7.0, atm) - so I got about the equivalent of about a 4.25 pt teaser.

Jazz went from +3.5 to about +3 (odds -105 @ +3.0, atm) - so I got about the equivalent of about a 5.5 pt teaser.

Grizzlies went from -7 to about -6.5 (odds -106 @ -6.5, atm) - so I got about the equivalent of about a 4.5 pt teaser.

Average teaser shift (for games not yet completed) = ((5.6 +5.25 + 6.0 + 4.25 +5.5 +4.5)/6 ) - 5 = 5.1833... - 5 = +0.1833 average improvement (per game)

So in other words, my teasers' went from a 5-pt teaser, to the equivalent of a 5.1833... pt-teaser, since they improved by an average of
about 0.1833 per team, at this point in time.

Extra info:
I probably won't be posting this analysis for most or all of my future NBA teasers.

Turnover: 6,550
P(L): (3,760)
Closing balance: 36,240

----
Lost 1,600*** from the last teaser mentioned (this is included in the above "Result Summary")

***: One leg was a push, so I got paid for a 3 Team teaser (for the only paying combination).

----
The teaser below will not be included in the above results, because some bets have already completed:

Bulls +17.5 (won) / Warriors -3.5 (won) / Raptors +6.5 / Pelicans +6.5 / Mavericks / +6.0 / Timberwolves +6.0

Note: Bet would have been listed as something like "15 x 120 unit bets on each 4 Teams Teaser, @ odds of +340 for each potential winning combination " (if I had mentioned the bets in time).

Tough Mavs line to tease there. Coming off a long series against a well rested Warriors.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

I think the Warriors are better value as well, my regular bets for these games are below (they won't be counted in the results, because this is a teaser thread).

ML = Money Line

Warriors 1375 to win 1250 @ -5.0
Celtics 4400 to win 4000 @ +4.5
Celtics 1000 to win 1700 ML

Note 1: I had the Warriors because I like them, and I had the Celtics because I thought there was a good chance the line would "move in my favor"

Note 2: I plan to bring my liability back to 1000-1500 for the above Celtics bets ( I can get -154 ML and +100 @ -3.5 for the Heat, atm).

----
Update (about 1545, Pac Time):

Celtics / Heat Game:
Heat 1520 to win 1000 ML
Heat 2500 to win 3000 @ -4.5

Reminder: Normally I don't hedge these kinds of bets, but for the Celtics / Heat game I "over-betted" the Celtics on purpose, so that I could "back the other team at better odds later".

I just found out that I can get the same points and odds for WNBA teaser's.
IMO teasing WNBA is better value^^^ because I think each point is "worth a bit more", what do you think?

^^^: Reminder, 5-Pt teaser for: 2 - teams: +105, 3 - teams: +200, and 4 - teams: +340.

----
Below are a mix of WNBA and NBA teaser bets:

1) "Five x $80, 4 - Team Teasers":

Warriors (G4) +6.0 / Mystics -3.5 / Sun -3.5 / Sky -8.5 / Liberty +11.0

Max Loss: $400 and Max Win: $1,360

2) "Ten x $160, 3 - Team Teasers":

Warriors (G4) +6.0 / Mystics -3.5 / Sun -3.5 / Sky -8.5 / Liberty +11.0

Max Loss: $1,600 and Max Win: $3,200

This won't count towards the figures in this thread because most of the games are at the half way mark, but I have the following teasers

5 x 200 4 - Team Teasers (max loss 1000 vs max profit +3,400)

10 x 200 3 - Team Teasers (max loss 2000 vs max profit +4,000)

WNBA: Sun +8.5, Wings +13.5, Mercury +7.5, Mystics +11.0
NBA: Celtics +10

Break-down of most possible results***:

All Teaser's win: +7,400
One Teaser loses... : +280
Two Teasers lose... : -2,400
All other results: -3,000

***: Mystics losing by exactly 11 and / or Celtics losing by 10 points are not included in the above break-down.


Edit at about 1745, Pac Time: see underline above.

Edit at about 2030, Pac Time: see strike-through and bold above.

Warriors (G4) +9.0 / Sun (WNBA) -0.5^^^ / Fever (WNBA) +9.0 / Wings (WNBA) +8.0.

^^^: Normally I don't like teasing favorites if they go to -0.5 (or more) after being teased, but I think the Sun should be between -6.0 to -6.5 (could be wrong, but that is the way I think the line will move).

Reminder: I generally try to not have an opinion about the teams in this thread.
