Since there’s several sportsbooks from which to choose, keep an eye out for ongoing promos like deposit bonuses, points programs, or betting rebates offered on action played. You’ll find that some promotions work better than others, based on your wagering style and pattern. With some sites, you’ll have the option of receiving a percentage of your action returned as a bonus bet, raising odds slightly in the long term.

Bonuses and rebates are always welcome, but the most important aspect of selecting a sportsbook involves integrity and experience providing service. Secure, online wagering has been around for decades, becoming popularized during the mid-1990s. An online service provider with a record that dates back prior to the millennium will be preferable to operators who only recently set up shop.

For example, William Hill’s been in operation since 1934, providing moneylines, spreads, props and gaming for players around the world.

NBA All-Star Game Results

The first NBA all-star game was a relatively tame affair, resulting in a 111-94 win for the east at the Boston Garden. Compare that to the most recent tilt last season, which ended in a 192-182 win for the western conference. Teams used to play a semblance of defense in the event, but now the game revolves around scoring prowess, dunks and fancy fast breaks. The rise of the three-pointer also increased the amount of scoring in the game, parallel to regular season strategy.

Overall, the eastern conference holds the edge with 37 victories, winning 56% of all-star games. Since the year 2000, the western conference has utterly dominated results, winning 12 of 18 matchups against the east. During the 1980s and 1990s, the eastern conference set the pace with 13 victories in 21 contests. Momentum shifted when the 1999 event was cancelled due to a lockout, around the same time the western conference turned into the best half of the NBA.

The NBA decided to alter the format of the all-star game for the 2018 bash at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Instead of an east coast versus west coast match, one captain was selected from each conference to lead a team to victory. LeBron James and Steph Curry were selected as the two captains for the inaugural captain selection rules.

As such, fans can witness player combos previously impossible under the old rules. King James will line up alongside Russel Westbrook, Klay Thomson, Kevin Durant and Damian Lillard, while Steph Curry will combine forces with DeMar DeRozan, Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kyle Lowry.

The 2017 edition of the all-star game broke several records, including most combined points with 374, the most points in a half with 189, and most points in a quarter with 101. Next to no defense was featured, resulting in a .578 field goal percentage and 162 made field goals, both records for the event. The fewest umber of points was 154 during the 1953 game, which featured both teams shooting a combined .362 FG%, making only 59 field goals. 

Now that the rules mandate a mixing of the best players from both conferences into separate teams, previous trends will no longer inform the potential results of all-star game wagers. The only trend which will likely continue is the explosion of scoring which has made recent all-star games among the most entertaining in the history of the NBA. Wagering on the winning team now revolves around the captain who built his squad best.

List of NBA All-Star Game MVP Winners and Other NBA All-Star Game Betting Opportunities (325)

The MVP of the all-star game usually goes to the player who controlled the pace, scored the most points, or produced the most amazing ball of the night. Early in the history of the game, Bob Pettit earned four all-star MVP nods, including three awards between 1956 and 1959. Pettit’s record of 27 rebounds in a single all-star game might never be challenged.

In the modern era of the all-star event, Kobe Bryant stole the show numerous times, also winning four all-star MVPs. Perhaps more impressive was the fact that Bryant earned the plaudit over a span of nine years, displaying the longevity of his craft. Russell Westbrook exploded in two consecutive all-star games in 2015 and 2016, leveraging his incredible intensity to consecutive MVP trophies. Russ only has one gear – playing all-out – which helped him rise above his peers.

Similar to other records involving early career achievement, LeBron James holds the record for youngest all-star MVP at 21 years and 51 days. The oldest all-star MVP was Shaquille O’Neal, who won the award at the advanced age of 36 years and 346 days. When Magic Johnson won an all-star MVP during his final participation in the event, it helped raise awareness for the scourge of AIDS, encouraging discussion among the general public.

The all-star game wouldn’t be complete without the slam dunk competition, which has christened stars like Michael Jordan and Vince Carter through their amazing, athletic, high-flying antics. A skills competition, young-stars game, and various individual and team props will also be available before the all-star weekend commences.
