    Why the All-Star Game Goes UNDER

    This was posted by my brother (SBR : king of philly) on his blog, I wanted to re-post for the public, since he doesn't make forum posts.

    The play tomorrow is going to be on the 2011 All-Star Game's UNDER, but only RIGHT before game time.
    All the general public that bet the under on the Rookie/Sophomore game tonight because they thought 253 was a huge number will think that 265 is do-able because of the win tonight and will pound the over forcing it up to 268 and above. The smart money was on the over in the R/S game last night, and will be on the under tomorrow for the All-Star game.
    If you can get it at 270, the UNDER is going to be the play in this game. Fade the public's betting and clean up with the bookies on this. It's a ton of points, and while the NBA is more of a joke than ever in 2011 (basically there is no difference between the All-Star game and the latest video by Kanye West), it's undeniably a massive amount of points. Defense will not show up, but this is a bet that cashes if they decided to play defense the last 5 minutes of the game or if either of the two teams can't shoot over 55%. Game has gone over the last two years, but I still like betting against the public here.

    Good luck.

    Yeah I checked the stats out from the last couple decades of All-Star games, and while it's gone Over maybe 2 out of every 3 games, it does go Under here & there. Anything is possible in the NBA & the total is set extremely high.

    One thing is for sure and that is there will be no defense played at all, not touching the total.

    Bodog at 270 as well. SBR at 269- so will most likely creep up to 270 soon.

    I just think this is too many points here...like they would have to basically not miss the entire game and play extremely fast. Not too confident on the total, but if I had to...going with you on the UNDER. Nice write-up

    I agree with the under as well, the pace this year should make it closer to 260.

    there is no smart money in those games! don't fool yourself. smart money stays away from those games. make a funplay or leave it alone.
    I booked over 265,5 early for a single unit as fun action

    I dont understand how you can like the under in a game where no defense is played. Its all about showing off offense and having fun and being fun for fans. Fans like offense, dunks and shooting 3s, they dont like defense. Dont put much on the under if you do take it, Im playing the over for a small bet. Last years total was 280, going over easily. A few years ago they scored 285, gotta take the over if anything

    The best play for the game would have easily been taking the over 265.5 when it first came out, then waiting til game time and taking Under 271 or more. That would be fun, and you could risk basically nothing to make a alot.

    It's not cool to play defense way more than ever in these games. I don't hate the play, but this has to be considered. Players like Rose and Westbrook will take it to the hole so fast and un-guarded when they get in there.

    I AM HEAVY ON THE UNDER TONIGHT
    here 272 possibly higher
    Rivers and Popovich are defensive coaches
    yes it's the All Star game, but these coaches will be emphasizing
    at least SOME defense.
    history favors Under 272 big time
