I read a lot of comments about parlays and how exciting this kind of bet is, but we forget that we also have a teaser bet, which I believe is more exciting as we can adjust the spread and total of what the bookies have offered. It's quite easier to convince ourselves with teasers, especially if we really analyze the game we are betting on. Unfortunately, not every sportsbook has this kind of betting option. So what are your thoughts on this?

I would not contrast a teaser bet with an express bet. In fact, a teaser bet is just one of the varieties of express bets.

A teaser bet implies a higher probability of winning compared to a classic express bet. At the same time, the winning amount when using a teaser bet is usually less than that of a classic express bet. I used a teaser bet when betting on football matches (my friend also bet on basketball).

To be honest, I cannot say that I liked teaser bets more than classic express bets. However, other players may have a different experience.
That “express bet” is new to me, so I did a bit of research and found out it’s actually a parlay bet. Lol.

Anyway, express bet (or parlay bet) is easier since it’s quite popular. But it really depends on your preference. With parlay bets, you have the convenience of combining different bets allowed in sports betting, increasing the odds up to the maximum limit. As for the chances of winning, they don't seem to be a huge factor since parlay bets have a higher payout compared to teaser bets, so the chances of winning are not as relevant when compared.
