The pleaser is a wager where the player is making use of even odds on a given line in order to obtain a better return on his investment. This means that instead of sum up some points to a pick,
like in a teaser, he will give them away.
This type of bet can only be utilized in football and basketball and it is more commonly used by the savvy bettor who is constantly studying stats and looking for teams that he believes might be able of beating determined spreads.
In other words, a pleaser is a reversed teaser, and most are of 6 points.
When you place a six-point pleaser bet on the favorite, let’s say on a line that is set at -8, your line will end up being -14, and when you place it on the underdog, with a line set at +8, you will end up with a line that is +2. As you can see, you will end up with a tougher line either way.
You also need to check on how many teams you want to put on your pleaser. Normally, pleasers will be made out of two to six teams, and the more squads you add, the bigger the payout is going to be, for example a $100 wager on a 2-team will pay you $600, whilst a 6-team for the same amount will end up paying you $30,000.
Here are the odds (they might vary):
Two teams: 6-1
Three teams: 17-1
Four teams: 45-1
Five teams: 120-1
Six teams: 300-1
Now, in the event of a tie on a two team please bet, then the player is going to be paid even cash, whilst if there are two ties, then the wager is considered a push, although this might vary depending on the bookie or the sportsbook you are dealing with, as some might grade a push as a loss.
As mentioned before, a please is one of toughest wagering types, and you should play them once you have acquired some good experience betting parlays and teasers, as this will allow you to feel more confident with the decisions you make concerning the bets you want to place, and will prevent you from chasing unnecessary continuous losses. Though if you feel like placing a few just to try them out, we recommend you to start with two-team ones, and risking small amounts of cash.
