What's wrong is I was playing at a book with non-standard lines and wasn't clear about it - that's why I didn't make the plays people "kindly" pointed out were actually also wongs because my book left them stuck on +7 or -3.
Someone earlier in this thread helped make it clear to me when I asked a silly question that you need to get the 3 and the 7 from the true line (I use Pinny). Your goal is not to tease TO -1.5, -2, -2.5 or +7.5, +8, +8.5 but to tease FROM numbers the other side of 3 and 7 to numbers the right side of 3 and 7.
Moving 2.5 to 7.5 or vice versa is a decent tease (it adds 23.6% to the cover rate) even if you have to pay the price for a 6 point tease (especially if you're trying to get more legs to reduce variance / increase exposure to really good lines).
If you're lucky enough to find a place that will let you move a team from +2.5 to +9 while only paying for 6 points then this is a good thing and shouldn't be rejected just because you're supposedly teasing off the 3. If the Pinny line is +2.5 you're not really moving off the 3.
