Generic Bookie:
One side of your teaser is a push, and the other side loses = you lose the bet.
One side of your teaser is a push, and the other side wins = you push the bet.
These are literally the only two options (outside of paying a high extra vig to turn ties into win, which is not the default anywhere I have ever seen, and also very rare to even find as an optional add on)
Bookie X from the OP:
One side of your teaser is a push, the other side loses = you push the bet.
One side of your teaser is a push, the other side wins = you push the bet.
Again these are literally the only two outcomes for a two team teaser, with one side pushing. So all we are doing by using Bookie X is taking some small % of potential losses and turning them into pushes. So I fail to see how this is not simply free EV? (it may not be enough extra EV to push some 2 team teasers into +EV in the long run, which is what I am inquiring about)
But if you're saying its not "free" EV, please elaborate.
