In 4-team 13-point teasers offered at -120 the break-even rate increases to 85.9% for each selection.

In 3-team 10-point teasers offered at -110 each selection needs to win 80.6% of the time for the overall teaser to average break-even.

Rather than rehashing math covered in other articles let me go ahead and just give some examples. The trick to beating sweetheart teasers is to only make bets that will win more often than each team’s required breakeven percentage. In this article I’ll examine sweetheart teasers in detail, including how to beat them, where to get the best odds, and then conclude with an analysis of basic teaser strategy applied to sweetheart subsets. The two most common examples are “3-team 10-point” and “4-team 13-point” NFL teasers. In this type wager the bookmaker gives additional points as the number of teams teased increases. While the name varies between betting sites, the concept remains the same. If you’re not familiar with these: calls them “ sweetheart teasers” where other sites refer to them as “ special teasers”, “ monster teasers” or “ super teasers”.

A topic not discussed in much depth in our comprehensive guide to teaser betting is sweetheart teasers.
