                Some books are trying to avoid teasers. Some books will post -9 or -9.5 and others will have -7.5 . And they do it at -1 and -2.5 also. A -9 or -9.5 prevents a 6 point teaser from going below 3 and a -1 prevents a 6 point teaser play over 7.

                  I get that but why we would we use one of those "off" lines for this contest when the majority of books have -2 to -3??
