Welcome to the most stressful bet in all of sports betting; The Pleaser!
This bet is anything but pleasing. It should have been called "the excrutiator" as it's one tough cookie to win but pays enormous should you happen to pick'em the right way!
The pleaser is a cross between a parlay and a teaser. It's like a parlay in that you have to pick 2 or more games and both have to win in order for your betting ticket to cash.
It's like a teaser bet in that you can move the line X amount of points, however your not moving them in your favor, your moving them AGAINST yourself making it harder for your bet to cover the spread, hence the massive payouts. Check out the chart below and you'll see what we're talking about.
