Tip: don't get too excited about teasers. I did way too many 7 point teases and not enough straight-up bets
I don't bet. I spend money at books to add an extra wrinkle to the game-viewing experience and anything that happens after that is gravy. I also am on a betting budget that I don't allow myself to go over.
Being a disciplined gambler, in and of itself, is a weird joy for me.

That's pretty much exactly where I'm at. There are probably several periods during the year where I'll deposit some money, and then I'll play off of whatever increases I may see. Sometimes it results in a check, sometimes it results in losing my deposit.
Either way, there isn't a ton of money being exchanged, and it does enhance the games that I wouldn't normally care to watch.
I too would need to go back and crunch the numbers to verify.I don't think that's true. I've never crunched the numbers on it but most games are not EVEN or a spread of -1, at least in the years of betting I've done.
Looking at http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/ for this week alone there's only a couple of games at a couple of books without the possibility for the favorite to win and not cover the spread.
