    Biggest bet of '08 so far tomorrow
    I've never felt this good about a total in years. I'm not asking you to back, but feel free to fade, I'm just using this forum because it's easier than keeping records.

    NBA All-Star Game
    U262

    Pound it. Any parlay you have going, add this in every single one of them, in fact, if you don't add this in as many possible two-team combinations as possible then you're letting value escape. I'd be shocked if 240 are scored here. Disregard the previous couple of years, this is about as sure of a bet as you'll find this quarter of 2008.

      Consider yourself faded. Your largest bet of the year is on an exhibition game? How can you possibly handicap this to such a level on confidence that you are certain that fewer than 5.5 points per minute will be scored? I hope you don't lose your shirt but anyone following you is asking for trouble.

          I respect your opinion, I'm not asking anyone to follow but this is definitely a play I feel is worth the post. I don't usually start threads on games unless I've got what I perceive to be a good grip on the event. Good luck.

              Crazyl... considering that no one plays defense and these are the best shooters in the league, what makes you this confident? Just curious.

                    Yea the all star game is not a real game. They intentionally let the other team score, its more like a globetrotters game than a real game. I have no opinion on the total. Good luck, it will be very high scoring like all of them.

                        kobe not playing much hurts the UNDER. he's the only one who tries to play defense.

                                  I wouldn't worry about anyone else, so long as you hopped on at that number you're good to go, I'm really not trying to call this an "L", but this under is basically like writing a blank check. You decide how much you'll cash it with.

                                    Flip a coin type total. How you can say it is your best bet of the year is on me.

                                              I'm glad that I'm mostly in the dark on this one, that's the way I prefer it. I do wish everyone else luck whether you're for or against this play, and hope it's an enjoyable game for us all.

                                                    Under seems like a decent bet, but I hating betting on games that are meaningless!

                                                      but I hating betting on games that are meaningless!
                                                      Most everyone aired this thinking for the NFL pro bowl, and what do you know, those of us who were in favor of the NFC came out winners. I nailed that bet in saying the NFC would lose the first half but have more QB depth to win the second half and the game.

                                                      The only reason games like this feel different are because it lacks the intangibles people overuse or commonly misuse, "motivation", stuff like that. When you find a good number, make the appropriate bet and don't sweat the rest. That's just my mentality.
