What are teaser points in sports betting? The points a teaser moves each spread or total in your favor (commonly 6, 6.5, or 7 in football) in exchange for a lower payout. In plain terms: The head start you buy on every leg of a teaser — bigger head start, smaller payout. “Vegas still offers 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, and 10-point teasers — but some offshore books go as high as 21.” Let's use this example. Six teaser points move Kansas City minus 7 to minus 1 and Buffalo plus 3 to plus 9. Both legs still have to win, and the easier lines come with lower payout and house-rule limits. Lines move and books differ. Nothing here is a guarantee or a command to bet — it's how the number works.
