Teaser

By Allen Moody, About.com

Definition: In the sports gambling world, "teaser" is a bet that consists of two or more basketball or football teams and all of the teams have to cover the point spread for the bettor to win. Unlike a parlay, in a teaser the bettor can add or subract points from the point spread and receives lower odds than a parlay in exchange.
Examples: Leroy bet a three-team teaser in the NBA.
