The NBA All-Star Weekend betting fiasco is as much of a coin toss as there is. It’s hard to take a mid-season romp that seriously when the All Star game features zero defense, and the Slam Dunk competition has become a sideshow more than anything else. Even with this coveted and cherished American tradition falling in to the gutter, there’s still earning opportunity, which is why I’m brining you my favorite choices to clear out All-Star weekend.

ALL-STAR GAME – SCREW THE SPREAD, BET THE OVER

The spread in these games is usually a weird, randomized number the bookies pull out of a hat (they don’t actually, I’m sure there’s some math to it). But betting on it is a haphazard exercise for the damned. There’s a much safer place to park your money.

If you’re not betting the OVER in the All-Star Game and then kicking up your shoes, I don’t know what to tell you. The average total for the last ten All-Star games has been 282.80 points. Three of the last four years have exceeded totals of 300.0. There’s no way in hell that the odds makers have the balls to put a total up in that stratosphere. Even if the game is less of a rampage than it has been in recent years, you can at least go down knowing you made the best NBA All Star Weekend betting pick you possibly could.
