some good odds to be had on the individual skills events....+325 to +375 for the favourites in the dunk/3pt contests....
bet365 just opened the AS Game total at 279.5

O is getting hammered....up to 281 now....Comment -
steaming hard....up to 283 now....Comment -
i think now might be the time to hit the under....i think the first 3 quarters play out like a street ball game, getting the score up to the 110-120 range and then the guys will play for pride in the 4th, and fire up the D....Comment -
Good luck. I would never play an under in an allstar game. Either over, or no play. I've literally never lost an over bet on an allstar game, any sport! Hockey, football, basketball, over over OVER! Especially with bball, did u see last night? They score every 5 secondsComment -
fair assessment, mind you we needed that final minute thirty of "dunkfest" to make the over....it was so tight....i just can't see the big dogs not playing for some amount of pride....
looking historically, very few NBA All-Star games have gone far over the 280 mark....
either way, GL to everyone on whatever they choose....looking forward to seeing what LTA has to say about the rest of this weekends events (especially his picks for the contest)...

My biggest regret of last year's allstar weekend was not laying -500 chalk on Blake Griffin (douchebag) to win the dunk contest. It was absolutely rigged, and a horrible "winning" dunk.
I'm 5'11", even I can dunk over the fender of a vehicle made of recycled pop cans.Comment -
I think I'm just going to live bet the under in the 4th quarter if it's a close game, hoping these goons have some sense of pride.Comment -

Play #2
Dunk Contest
Derrick Williams (+300) (Recommended 1/8th of your normal 1x)
Chase Buddinger (+200) (Recommended 1/8th of your normal 1x)
Our goal is to make profit and I think we accomplish that by playing both Williams and Buddinger. This dunk contest will be decided by fans on twitter so we have to put ourselves in their mindset. I think they vote for name value in Williams and novelty value in Buddinger. Williams is known from the NCAA tournament run last year and Buddinger will identify with many of pimply faced 12 year old suburban-born fans that will be voting. Williams is just as athletic as George and Evans, but may be able to have more dunking options because of his advantage in height. Buddinger is an athletic white-guy and that novelty always sparks some interest. At odds of +300 and +200, the books are giving us the ability to play both and still come out with a nice profit. I am rolling with Williams and Buddinger and I expect one of them to win and ensure us a profitable Saturday. Good luck.Comment -
Damn, 75 points is a TON of extra value. I wonder if this year's contest is literally rigged like last year's. With the car..& didn't they even bring a choir in?? For that terd Blake Griffin, who also stars in the worst commercials on tv.Comment -
Lta we are in the g ame for money. The under
Looks good tonight to be honestComment -
I like the under tonight, too. Seeing as THERE IS NO GAME TONIGHT!Comment -
Meant the all star game obviouslyComment -
Anyone knows where to find the bet on pinny?Comment -
LTA, would love to have some insight on the MVP of all star game, sounds like a hard thing to bet but very fun too
Comment -
Tottaly agree with you, same plays I was making anyway. Also taking Morrow in the 3pt shotout, even though I don't like to take favorites in this kind of situation, he's got the quickest and better stroke for this kind of thing of every of them.
I will unlikely bet the all-star game as I probably won't even see it. Last night was the worst friday night game I've seen in the past 5 years and thing at the end... c'mon. Probably wont stay awake till 4 am in the morning on a sunday just to see some guys dunking.Comment -
chase and derrick in dunk contest. anderson and morrow in 3 point.Comment -
Something tells me Ryan Anderson the hometown boy wins the 3pt contest. But I like Morrow as well.
Also, LTA what do you think about Dwight Howard at +550 to win All-Star MVP? It seems like the hometown guys always win the MVP. I think the East wins as well.Comment -
Even though he made it, dunking blindfolded disqualifies it from being a true skills contest.
Nice dunk Buddinger.Comment -
d will is gnna take it homeComment -
that was a travesty... that spectacle doesn't even deserve to be called a dunk contest... absolutely terrible...
out of all the dunks, only 2 would have score above 40pts back in the day.... Evans 2-ball & Williams side board 360 (which was the best dunk)....
Comment -
Totally agree, it has become a joke. Fix it or get rid of it.Comment -
Anyone know why the marquee players don't participate in the dunk contest anymore? Seriously, these 4 guys were awful. The guy that won has played like 3 games for the Jazz all year.Comment -
LTA, you like the under in ASG?Comment -
wow...the line is up to 284.5 now....it seems that the O is getting a ton of action... you think its cause most people are probably saying "i'm either better the O or nothing at all"?
the U seems very tempting...Comment -
Cuz every player nowadays is scared to get their ego crushed. Shit makes me sick. Jordan and Dominique were never scared to lose and battled each other for years. Lebron's pussy ass has never even entered. They try and say they're doing this for the fans... well if that was the case they would throw their egos out the door and enter the dunk contest. Cuz that's what the fans want to see, the best dunkers. Not some no name Joe Schmos...Comment -
pay the winner of the dunk contest 1 million dollars cash and a Bentley and you will get the best dunkers in it..they will put their egos aside for the cash and car trust meComment
