NBA All Star game betting will be available for the NBA All Star 2008 on Sunday, February 17th. NBA All Star odds will likely have the West favored with a total in the mid 250’s. Last year’s NBA All Star game has the West winning big and the game going over the total.
NBA All Star betting includes more than just the game. You also have odds on the Slam Dunk contest, the three point shootout and the rookie challenge. Last year it was Gerald Green winning the Slam Dunk contest while Jason Kapono won the three point shootout. There have only been two repeat winners in the NBA All Star Slam Dunk contest so you might want to bet on Dwight Howard, Rudy Gay or Jamario Moon.
NBA All Star betting for most gamblers involves taking the game over the total. That worked out last year when the game had over 280 points scored in it. History has shown, however, that taking the game under is oftentimes the better bet in NBA All Star action. The West is usually favored but NBA All Star history has shown that neither conference has much of an edge in all-time results.
NBA All Star 2008 will showcase the best talent in the NBA. All the experts agree that the two best players in the NBA are the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant and Cleveland’s LeBron James. They will match up against each other for a little while at least in this year’s NBA All Star. The starting lineups for the NBA All Star 2008 look pretty equal but the edge in reserves goes to the West. They have players like Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Paul, Brandon Roy and Steve Nash who easily could be starting.
Take a look at the NBA All Star 2008 betting options for this year’s game. You can bet the side, total and probably some excellent propositions as well. NBA All Star betting has been fairly even the past few years. The East is actually 4-3 against the spread in the last 7 NBA All Star despite the fact that the Western Conference is thought of as the better conference.
