Teaser bets are very popular in football and basketball betting.

With a traditional teaser bet, you are essentially creating a parlay (two or more games) while shifting the spreads for each game in your favour.

The King explains the meaning of the betting term Teaser Odds - In photo:  New England Patriots cheerleaders in action.For instance - let's say that you choose to do a six-point teaser on two NFL games. Here are the two games that you choose:

New England Patriots +3 vs Denver Broncos, -3
Kansas City Chiefs -4 vs Cincinnati Bengals +4

In both cases you like the underdog.

So, your two-team teaser would look like this:

New England Patriots +9 vs Denver Broncos -9
Kansas City Chiefs -10 vs Cincinnati Bengals +10

So, you are taking the Patriots +9 and the Bengals +10 in your teaser bet.

Now, what would be the teaser odds for this bet?

It depends on the sportsbook.

Most books will price a two-team, 6 point teaser at -140, though it can fluctuate (some books will offer it at -130 or even -120).

Teaser odds, as mentioned, are also very popular with basketball bettors.

With a two-team basketball teaser, you might add 5 points to both of your preferred sides.

So, if you liked the Lakers -3 and Knicks +5, your teaser odds would be Lakers +2 and Knicks +10 in a two-team teaser.
