A teaser is similar to a parlay: you combine 2 to 10 football or basketball wagers into one bet. The key difference is that you can adjust the point spreads and/or totals in your favor, but in return, the payout is lower. Like a parlay, every selection in the teaser must win for the bet to cash. If one loses, the entire teaser loses.
Point Spreads: You can lower the spread for the favorite or increase the spread for the underdog.
Totals: You can raise the line when betting the under, or lower it when betting the over.
Teasers require a minimum of 2 selections and a maximum of 10.
All legs must win for the teaser to be graded a win.
One losing leg means the teaser loses in full.
Pushes reduce the teaser (e.g., a 3-team teaser with one push becomes a 2-team teaser).
If all legs are graded as pushes, the teaser is graded “Push” and your stake is refunded.
Regular teaser payout tables apply, depending on the number of teams and the points teased.
Scroll further for Regular, Cross-Sport, and Sweetheart Teaser rules.
Your payout depends on:
The number of teams in your teaser
The sport (football or basketball)
The points teased (commonly 6, 6.5, or 7 points in football; 4, 4.5, or 5 points in basketball)

You must choose a minimum of 2 lines and up to a maximum of 12 to place a football or basketball teaser.
Eligible markets are limited to point spreads and totals only.
Some lines may display icons indicating teaser restrictions—click for details where shown.
A tie (Push) or a bet graded “No Action” reduces the number of teams in teasers of 3 or more.
Example: A 4-team teaser with two ties reduces to a 2-team teaser, and payouts are recalculated accordingly.
Two-team teasers cannot reduce.
Win + Push/No Action = graded as “No Action” and stake refunded.
Any leg that loses = teaser is graded “Loss.”
With the exception of ties, all selections must win for the teaser to cash. One loss kills the entire teaser.
Unless otherwise stated, games not played on the listed date or venue are graded “No Action” and the teaser reduces.
You cannot include futures, props, moneylines, or partial-game lines (1H, 2H, or quarters).
Payouts vary by sport. For mixed-sport teasers, the lowest applicable payout table applies.
You may combine football and basketball lines in the same teaser.
However, the number of points you adjust must remain in the same teaser category across all selections.
A “sweetheart” teaser includes 3 to 12 football or basketball selections.
Point adjustments depend on the sport and the number of teams chosen.
Just like regular teasers, all legs must win for the bet to cash.
No Reduction on Special Formats
3-team (10 points) and 4-team (13 points) Sweetheart Teasers never reduce.
If one selection is graded “No Action,” the entire wager will be graded as “No Action,” provided all other legs win.
Reduction on Larger Teasers
A 4-team (10 points) or any 5–12 team Sweetheart Teaser will reduce if one pick is “No Action.”
Odds are recalculated based on the reduced number of teams.
Multiple “No Action” results may invoke both Rule 1 and Rule 2, depending on the structure.
Pushes = Loss
Any Push in a Sweetheart Teaser grades the entire wager as a Loss.
Losses Kill the Teaser
One losing leg means the entire Sweetheart Teaser is settled as a Loss.
Cross-Sport Sweetheart Teasers
When combining football and basketball picks, payouts are based on the lower-value payout table.
