    If there was ever a value bet...

    it would be Bulls +3500 to win the NBA championship. I'm not saying it's going to happen but they have proven that they are as capable as anybody else at this point.

    -Defensively shut down the consensus favorite to win it all
    -Shown that they can bring their all and leave it on the court every game
    -Have arguably the best coach out of the 8 playoff teams remaining
    -Nothing to lose

    Jus' sayin'

    The Bulls would need to have a 3% chance of winning (roughly) for this to be a good value bet. I don't watch much NBA but from what I have seen thus far, I tend to agree with your analysis and conclusion. While it is unlikely to happen, it definitely seems like there is some worthwhile value there.

    You can't give all the credit to the Bulls yesterday. The Heat were rusty and shot horribly from the field.

    I put a whopping $25 on it (at +3000). As you alluded, there are worse ways to spend a few bucks.

    I've seen way worse "value" bets.

    Bulls don't have a 3% chance of winning the East
