NBA All Star Game Betting History at SBG Global

NBA All Star Game wagering has been around for as long as the league has existed.  But it wasn’t until after the NBA and ABA merger that things started to get really interesting in terms of NBA All Star Game wagering .  Prior to that the NBA had been somewhat boring and it wasn’t until it took a page from the razzle-dazzle ABA that the NBA All Star Game betting and demand for NBA All Star Game odds really took off.  After the merger the NBA All Star Game wagering weekend became a showpiece in the NBA schedule and the NBA All Star Game odds weren’t the only thing that fans took an interest in.

Also borrowed from the ABA was the slam dunk contest which has come to be one of the most popular NBA All Star Game betting events over the weekend.  The event has actually spurred many other NBA All Star Game wagering weekend events and the all star game has become almost a week long event rather than just the Sunday afternoon NBA All Star Game odds contest as it had been for so many years.

Now there is the rising star game which is played on the Friday night before the NBA All Star Game wagering show down and features the top rookies in the league against the top second-year players.  There is also a skills contest that tests the top players in the game at various basketball skills and is a relatively new addition to the NBA All Star Game betting extravaganza.  There is also a team event where WNBA and NBA players are paired together in a quasi-shooting event, which frankly no one at the NBA All Star Game betting weekend enjoys but tolerates as it helps to promote the WNBA.

But the real piece de resistance –aside from the actual NBA All Star Game odds game, itself- is the 3-point contest and the slam dunk contest.  Over the years fans have seen some amazing memories being made in these contest, often better remembered than the NBA All Star Game wagering match ups themselves.
