Obviously the more points you are given, the lower your risk, and the lower the payout. The payoff is also modified by the points which are given in favor of your teams. As with an accumulator, the more teams involved in the teaser, the higher the payoff. Teaser bets are available for some sports (like basketball and football), but not for all. All of the individual bets included in the teaser have to win in order for you to win the teaser. Similar rules apply to teasers as apply to accumulators. If you are betting on a 5-point teaser, the line is moved 5 points in your favor, which converts the -20 to -15. Let’s say you are betting against a line of -20.
So what makes a teaser different from an accumulator bet? With a teaser, additional points are involved which move the lines. A teaser is similar to an accumulator bet in that it consists of a group of straight bets and/or totals all combined.
