    If you're betting the over in the NBA Allstar game tonight...

    ...Just remember, with the new format, if the game doesn't get to at least 270 by the end of the 3rd quarter, you may be in trouble.

    I grabbed it over 320 a week ago in anticipation that it would go up, and I grabbed it under 324 this morning.

    I'm looking to play quarter totals, but so far Betrivers doesn't have any lines yet, and I am not sure if they will or not.

    The key is 92 point quarters going into the 4th quarter. I expect 45 to 55 points in the 4th.

    Say a team is winning 150 to 120 at the end of the 3rd quarter. The target to win the game is 174 (lead team's 150 + 24 Kobe's number) So the first team to get to the target score of 174 wins the game.

    Yes, if a team is trailing big, the total has potential to get in the 50s but if its tight 47 is about the max. If you need points to hit your Over, you better hope its not a close game...

    If one is betting NBA all star games and props then one might need to find a new hobby.

    Why? An edge is an edge wherever you can find it. As long as you don't feel compelled to bet it and you're betting it for the right reasons.

    That's my point, but there's a few 'if' attached to that 'edge'
    Like 'if' the game is close...

    Betrivers has quarter line totals for the 1st and 2nd and the halftime line.

    1st quarter is 90 and the second quarter is 91. Halftime is 181.

    I like the second quarter over 91 and Lebron's team, over 91.5 1st half points.

    Best of luck.

    I only have $25 on each quarter prop parlay, and $75 each way on trying to middle the over/under

    These games aren't worth dumping one's entire bankroll on, especially when the format changed a couple years ago.

    Lebron might be auditioning for another gig in Cleveland. I’m curious what the fan response will be in CTown.

    LeBron MVP was +600 as of yesterday, I guess people caught on to the fact that this might be his last one in Cleveland. It's hard to bet on these angles unless you are at the event and know who got wrecked last night and who didn't
