I did not place any bet on the All-Star game, but once again we see how the bookies (in Vegas) can bring in any results they want, the players are just chess-players, they don't play for real, they just do what they're told.
If you would see the game, check out how many times players with the balls were given a free-road to shoot, to make a slam-dunk, not that I have anything against a nice game and a nice show, but have you seen what was the final score?
East - 119
West - 146
In Total? 265 points!
You got it right, the Under/Over was 264.5 and some bookies had it 1 point above or under.
How can the bookies guess exactly how many points they will score? Are they prophets? Did you see the players playing like a prize would be given to them if they will win?
It was like 1st quarter, they scored only 61 points, so the coaches in both sides took them aside and told them "listen, we're here to give a certain number of points, so stop guarding, let anyone who wants to score to score, otherwise Vegas would be upset and we don't want that".
I can swear that exactly what happened, yet I haven't placed any bet on this game, but just my 2 cents.
Peace.
