NBA AllStar Competitions

I agree with you guys and put some on Miller. One time???

[SonnyJay]

Alright, gonna stop myself now on these props. Devoted way too much time to thinking about All Star Weekend at this point.

Final scorecard:

Gerald Green 1u (-110)
Mike Miller .5u (+600)
Jason Terry .5u (+700)
Charles Barkley .5u (+200)

Dwight Howard at +500 now. Any good?

Past Dunk Contest Winners (since 1991):

2005 Josh Smith, Atlanta
2004 Fred Jones, Indiana
2003 Jason Richardson, Golden State
2002 Jason Richardson, Golden State
2001 Desmond Mason, Seattle
2000 Vince Carter, Toronto
1997 Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers
1996 Brent Barry, L.A. Clippers
1995 Harold Miner, Miami
1994 Isaiah Rider, Minnesota
1993 Harold Miner, Cleveland
1992 Cedric Ceballos, Phoenix
1991 Dee Brown, Boston

All 2s and 3s on the list. I didn't look any further back than that. However, I didn't look at how many times big men were entered in the competition (which is important). I wouldn't bother with Dwight at +500, but who knows.

Of my 4 books, I could only get Gerald Green at -120. If the line gets better before the contest, I'll be adding another unit.

Wouldn't count on it at this point. -145 at Bodog, -175 at Greek, and falling on both.

GL everyone!

I put a little on Terry and Miller, but I like Kapono to win

[Green Kool Aid]

I bet my buddy 50 bucks straight up that Gerald Green wins versus the field. I dont understand odds and stuff, but is this a good bet?

[Spellmen]

Also, I don't really like Dwight's chances. Like most big guys he's a hard dunker and I don't expect him to pull out alot of moves. Supposedly he wanted to dunk on a 12 foot rim, but Stern shot it down so maybe he'll tear down the whole thing or rip a rim off

Yes, -145 means you bet $145 to profit $100. Since your even money bet is like betting $100 to profit $100, this is a very good thing.

Has the race already happen? Because I cant make a wager on bodog on it.

It's happening during the events tonight. Bodog has taken it down (maybe not wanting to cede an edge to viewers who see Barkley with martinis in each hand). It's still up on TheGreek.com (+200 Barkley/-240 Bavetta).

I only have $ in bodog, because I'm not sure how smooth the other things will go cashing out. Thats not bad though, last I saw it on bodog it was a -340

[erroneous]

LOL, Miller was moved down to +270. Nice job to anybody who got the bet in.
