You can bet teasers at the BetMGM online sportsbook.
What’s a Teaser Bet?
A teaser bet allows a BetMGM customer to change game point spread or game over/under total for at least two football and/or basketball games.
In doing so, the odds and potential payout change. If all the legs of a teaser hit, the bet wins.
The following sports are available for teaser bets:
- NFL
- College football
- NBA
- College basketball
- WNBA

What’s an Example of a Teaser Bet?
Here’s an example of a teaser with NFL lines at BetMGM:
- Detroit Lions -3.5 (-110) vs. Chicago BearsÂ
- Philadelphia Eagles -4 (-110) vs. New York Giants.
- Arizona Cardinals +5.5 (-110) vs. the Seattle Seahawks.
Instead of betting the spreads for the Lions, Eagles, and Cardinals, you can tease the lines six points:
- Lions +2.5 vs. Bears
- Eagles +2 vs. Giants
- Cardinals +11.5 vs. Seahawks
The new odds for the NFL teaser bet might be +150, with a potential payout of $250 on a $100 bet (including stake) if all three teams cover the new spread.
If at least one team doesn’t cover the spread, the bet is graded as a loss.
Can a Teaser Bet Push?
Yes, a teaser can push.
In the example above: If the Eagles lose to the Giants by two points (e.g., 26-24), that pick is removed, and the teaser’s odds (and potential payout) are recalculated with the remaining picks.
If one pick in a two-pick teaser is a push — and the remaining pick is a win — the teaser is void, and money is refunded.Â
How’s a Teaser Different Than a Parlay?
A teaser is a parlay but with alternate lines determined by the bettor.
If you parlayed spreads for the Lions (-3.5), Eagles (-4), and Cardinals (+5.5), you don’t get to change the spreads. And if each team doesn’t cover the spread, the bet is lost.
While all the legs of a teaser bet must hit in order for the entire teaser bet to win — like a parlay bet — the bettor has altered spreads, odds, and potential payout.
