Wong Teasers Basic Strategy Discussion Thread - Page 10 - Sports Betting

I'm going really n00b and adding in LSU -1.5 and Iowa +7.5 to my wongs this week
however, I will not put both of those college legs in the same teaser

Noob rulez!

Bodog promotion:

http://www.bodog.com/play-now/footba...nus/optin.html

"If you opt in to the promotion after the start of the season you must still have bet every week (1-17) to qualify for the bonus."

So it looks like anyone who was going to deposit money because of this promotion is SOL.

I hate you 5dimes... Jets +1 -120, when you should be +1.5 is really irritating

Is there anything that you can do to counter this?

Cash out of 5 dimes. Seriously if you think you are going to bet wongs at 5 dimes you are sadly mistaken.

Sry if its LDO for you. All this is fairly new to me.

How do you know where the market should be.
How do you come up with fair PS?

Ok, I see.

I thought that maybe there is a formula that derives PS numbers from ML or totals or combination of both. Is there?

Yes (well maybe not one formula).

When I was betting them, they did the same tease dodge, but since they were +100 on teases at the time, I just used 6.5 point teases.

Dali,

Did you 6.5 them only as 2 teamers (-110) or did you include them in 3, 4, and 5 teamers (+165, +265, +410)? B/c the odds are not as good

Thanks,

yeah, I'm doubting I'll be functional by kickoff tomorrow. Obv, everyone should wait until last hour. But, I'm wasted now and will likely not move before 11:30 CST. At that time, I'll be looking to catch steam and whatnot.
