Teaser Calculator
This teaser calculator shows you exactly what a football teaser does to your ticket: enter your legs, the teaser points, and the odds your sportsbook quotes, and it returns every teased line, your payout, and the win rate the price implies you need. It works for 2-leg through 4-leg teasers at 6, 6.5, 7, or 10 points, on spreads and totals.
How to Use the Teaser Calculator
Pick your number of legs and teaser points, enter each leg exactly as your book posts it, then add the teaser odds your sportsbook quotes for that combination. The calculator moves every line in your favor by the teaser points and does the payout and break-even arithmetic on the price you entered.
- Teased line: each spread moves toward you (a -7.5 favorite becomes -1.5 with 6 points; a +2.5 underdog becomes +8.5) and each total gets easier (an over drops, an under rises).
- Payout: the return and profit on your stake at the quoted odds. Teasers pay a fixed price, not multiplied leg odds like a parlay.
- Break-even: what the quoted price implies the ticket must win to break even, and what that works out to per leg if the legs are equally likely and independent.
Typical Teaser Prices to Enter (Verified July 2026)
Not sure what odds to type in? These were the standard two-team 6-point football teaser prices at the major books when we last verified them in July 2026. The number on your betslip always wins: prices shift, especially at season start, and some books only reveal the price at bet placement.
| Sportsbook | 2-leg, 6-pt | Pricing notes |
|---|---|---|
| BetMGM | -130 | Publishes a full pay table: 6.5-pt -140, 7-pt -150; college football teased at 6.5/7/7.5 for the same tiers |
| DraftKings | -120 | 3-leg +160, 4-leg +260; also offers 10- and 13-point sweetheart tiers where ties lose |
| Caesars | -120 | Price shows at bet placement and can move; offers 6 through 14-point football teasers |
| FanDuel | -134 | Fixed internal chart, not published; the costliest two-leg price of this group at last check |
| bet365 | on betslip | Teasers on 2-20 selections at 4 to 10 points (no 8 or 9); the price appears only when you build the ticket |
A Worked Example: Two Legs, Six Points
Say you tease two spreads by 6 points at a quoted -130: a -7.5 favorite becomes -1.5, and a +1.5 underdog becomes +7.5. A $100 stake at -130 returns $176.92, a profit of $76.92. The -130 price implies the ticket needs to win 56.5% of the time to break even, which is about 75.2% per leg. That per-leg number is the honest way to judge any teaser: each teased leg has to be strong enough to cover roughly three times out of four before the ticket is worth its price.
Why 6-Point Teasers Exist: The Key Numbers 3 and 7
Football games land on 3 and 7 more than any other final margins, because field goals and touchdowns decide close games. Over the last ten NFL seasons, 14.7% of all games were decided by exactly 3 points and 8.6% by exactly 7, and 23.3% of games landed on one of those two numbers. That is the whole reason the 6-point teaser is football’s signature bet: six points is exactly enough to move a spread from one side of both key numbers to the other. A favorite at -7.5 teased to -1.5 no longer needs to survive a game decided by a field goal or a touchdown, and an underdog at +1.5 teased to +7.5 now covers both of those outcomes.
The calculator flags any spread leg whose tease crosses both 3 and 7. That flag is descriptive: it tells you the leg captures the two most common losing margins, not that the bet is profitable. Whether it is worth playing depends entirely on the price your book charges.
What Is a Wong Teaser?
A Wong teaser is the classic version of that idea, named for gambling author Stanford Wong, who laid out the criteria in his book Sharp Sports Betting: tease only underdogs of +1.5 to +2.5 up through both key numbers, or favorites of -7.5 to -8.5 down through them, in the standard two-team six-point format. Wong’s published win rates came from an era when books priced two-team six-point teasers around -110. Books have long since repriced them, and most now charge -120 to -140 or more for the same ticket, which is exactly why this calculator asks for your book’s quote instead of assuming one. The teased lines still cross the same key numbers; whether the price makes them worth it is the question you should be answering each time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions bettors ask most about how teasers work and how to read this calculator’s output.
What does a teaser actually do to my bet?
A teaser moves every line in your ticket in your favor by a fixed number of points, usually 6, 6.5, or 7 in football, in exchange for a much worse payout than a normal parlay of the same legs. A -7.5 favorite becomes -1.5 with six points, and every leg still has to cover for the ticket to win.
Why does the calculator ask for my book’s odds instead of showing them?
Because teaser pricing is set by each sportsbook and changes over time: the same two-team six-point teaser can be -120 at one book and -140 at another. Entering the quote you actually see keeps every payout and break-even number honest for your ticket rather than an assumption we baked in.
What happens if one leg of my teaser pushes?
At most books the ticket drops to the next tier down, so a three-team teaser with a push settles as a two-team teaser at that tier’s price. Some books void the whole ticket instead, and a two-team teaser with a push usually refunds. The rule varies enough that it is worth checking your book’s house rules before you build one.
Are teasers a good bet if I’m getting so many extra points?
The points are real but so is the price: a six-point teaser pays far less than a parlay of the same legs, and the quoted odds imply each teased leg must win roughly 74-77% of the time at typical prices. The extra points are worth the most when they move a spread across the common losing margins of 3 and 7, which is what the calculator’s key-number flag shows you.
Can I put totals in a football teaser?
Usually yes: most books let you tease totals, with the over dropping by the teaser points and the under rising by them. Some books restrict which markets are teaser-eligible or price total-heavy teasers differently, so the available combinations depend on where you bet.
