Hard to cap with the new format

The key is 92 point quarters going into the 4th quarter. I expect 45 to 55 points in the 4th.

**Headsterx** · 02-20-22, 12:58 PM

What's the new format?

**pimike** · 02-20-22, 01:18 PM

Thanks

Say a team is winning 150 to 120 at the end of the 3rd quarter. The target to win the game is 174 (lead team's 150 + 24 Kobe's number) So the first team to get to the target score of 174 wins the game.

**d2bets** · 02-20-22, 02:12 PM

Good info and good idea trying to middle.

**Headsterx** · 02-20-22, 02:19 PM

Thanks! I stopped watching it few years.

**thetrinity** · 02-20-22, 02:32 PM

They’ve been doing this since Kobe died

**thetrinity** · 02-20-22, 02:37 PM

312,320 the 2 scores under this format

Yes, if a team is trailing big, the total has potential to get in the 50s but if its tight 47 is about the max. If you need points to hit your Over, you better hope its not a close game...

If one is betting NBA all star games and props then one might need to find a new hobby.

Why? An edge is an edge wherever you can find it. As long as you don't feel compelled to bet it and you're betting it for the right reasons.

**jjgold** · 02-20-22, 03:42 PM

I wouldn’t touch that game if you paid me best of luck if you play it

That's my point, but there's a few 'if' attached to that 'edge'
Like 'if' the game is close...

Nah, I mean like what Kermit did. Good stuff.

Betrivers has quarter line totals for the 1st and 2nd and the halftime line.

1st quarter is 90 and the second quarter is 91. Halftime is 181.

I like the second quarter over 91 and Lebron's team, over 91.5 1st half points.

Best of luck.
My policy has always been staying away from exhibition games.

**Kermit** · 02-20-22, 05:01 PM

I only have $25 on each quarter prop parlay, and $75 each way on trying to middle the over/under

These games aren't worth dumping one's entire bankroll on, especially when the format changed a couple years ago.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 02-20-22, 05:46 PM

I took Lebron +275 for MVP. Cleveland this is for you…

Best of luck, if I had to bet it my money would be on one of the guards.
Who knows, it's just a dopey exhibition

Lebron might be auditioning for another gig in Cleveland. I’m curious what the fan response will be in CTown.

Second quarter over will probably be my play

My brother has $250 on him to score over 19.5 points.

Great info Kermit.

**shadymcgrady** · 02-20-22, 07:10 PM

LeBron MVP was +600 as of yesterday, I guess people caught on to the fact that this might be his last one in Cleveland. It's hard to bet on these angles unless you are at the event and know who got wrecked last night and who didn't

I got a bad line.

**slayer14** · 02-20-22, 08:36 PM

Game has no defense at all this will go over

**Kermit** · 02-20-22, 09:31 PM

Curry 8-11 from 3 point land.

I'm not really paying attention, does your wager have a chance?

I already won the 2 props. The middle has a very good chance.

This was pretty much exactly where I wanted it.

Boom. You did it.
