    I piss away money on my Bulls almost every game, because I overrated them beyond belief. But even with DROSE healthy, they should be at least +300 for the series against the Heat, at worst (and probably nowhere near this, probably looking at +money) -150 in the first round, and probably + in the second round. Parlay those suckers and you get a hell of a lot better than 10-1.

    You would have been better giving your 5, one dollar bills to charity.

    At least some hungry kids could get some rice

    There are a bunch of IFS of course but if Rose comes back healthy they will probably be more than -150 first round and could easily be favored second round too, assuming it's not Miami there. Agree though, not sure +965 right now is quite enough. I'd want 12-1 or better.

    I hope this hits because I'm a die hard Bulls fan, but what kind of crack are you smoking LB? This just doesn't seem like the year for the Bulls.

    Chicago isn't the same team anymore... Boozer is old. Don't have outside shooting like they use too.... Zero Chance LB. 1 Guy isn't going to win you the Eastern Conference.

    Solid bet...i mean we all remember last time they faced Miami in a series, when Rose was 100% and their team was much better, they raped Miami didnt they? Or they couldnt win more than 1 game? It was one of those.

    and now Bulls are worse, Rose isnt healthy, and Miami is 5x better, and Bulls will win East. Lol srsly, like ppl said, give the money to charity, these scrubs wont even get past round 1.

    if anyone wonders tht books are giving free money and killing themselves by offering Miami to win the east. No theyre not, cuz there are so many idiots like this tht will bet the teams tht have no shot and they clean up.

    Looks like Bulls are fourth favorite to win the east at +1500 right now at 5Dimes. Behind Heat, Pacers and Knicks. Where are they second favorite at?

    Laying -350 on a bet that's going to hit 98% of the time (2% is gone because small chance LeBron gets injured)...is better than laying +965 on a bet that will hit 0.01% of the time.

    Regardless of the fact I am a huge Bulls fan, I find that this is outstanding value.

    Good look, Laker. The whole point of betting successfully is to win money. The best way to do that is to find value like this.

    What you are capping here is simple story lines. Nothing more with the NBA. And Derrick Rose coming back in the nick-of-time to lead the Bulls (huge market in a city that is entering another renaissance) to a title.

    However, I still feel the propping up of the NBA's biggest star since Jordan will be hard to overcome.

    'value'

    All the books need to do is convince sharps there's 'value' on dead bets like this, and they hop on like idiots.

    If its 98% then it would not be -350.

    Yea well obviously that's a matter of opinion. It sounds ridiculous but I seriously believe its 98% because i give LeBron a 2% chance of getting injured...other than that, its an easy winner.

    Obviously others, and Vegas puts it at a much different % than me, which is fine. Because everyone has their opinion on future bets like these, and that's where u decide what line you think is off. And I think -300/-350 for Miami is way off considering how likely it is they win the East. But I can see why Vegas is putting up that line, esp. cuz they know they're getting enough action on the other teams, which will more than compensate for the payouts they will have to do on the -300 winners.
