Things You'll Need:
- Newspaper/Computer
- A place to make wagers
-
Step 1
Reverse the teaser. In a teaser, the gambler gets 6 points added to each team's line. A pleaser does the opposite. The gambler instead gives 6 points from the odds line.
-
Step 2
Subtract points from the underdog. Most pleaser bets are 6 points. If the Red Skins are +8, the pleaser line would become +2.
-
Step 3
Add points if the team is a favorite. If the Dallas line is -10, add 6 points for the pleaser and the line becomes -16.
-
Step 4
Decide how many teams you would like in your pleaser bet. Traditionally, pleaser bets range from 2 to 6 teams. The more teams you bet, the bigger the winnings. For example, a $100 2 team pleaser pays $600. Whereas a $100 6 team pleaser pays $30,000. The odds are the following:
2 teams: 6/1
3 teams: 17/1
4 teams: 45/1
5 teams: 120/1
6 teams: 300/1 -
Step 5
Know the rules. If one of the teams in your 2-team pleaser ends in a tie, then the gambler is paid even money. If 2 of the teams in a 2-team pleaser tie, then it is considered a push. However, these rules can vary.
-
Step 6
Watch the games and hope for the best. If one of your pleaser teams does not cover the spread, you lose the entire bet.
