I think this number should be more like +950.  Some value there.

In any Chicago bettor's opinion, is there any team in the history of the NBA other than Chicago that could beat this Chicago team in 5 games?  How about sweep this Chicago team?

Maybe, but I haven't found enough value in that, best I can find is 30-1.  My numbers say I would want 40-1 to consider.  If the Bulls go up 3-0 I can lock in a profit pretty easy on my 4-1 play anyway.

*Could*?  Anything *could* happen.  They *could* get swept, it's just rather unlikely.

For the record, my current model has the Bulls at a 53.2% probability to win the series.  Not a sure thing by any means, but a tremendous value to the market price.

Imo, definitely don't think any team in history could sweep them simply because of their stellar defense.  In 5 games I think it's possible for a few teams in history but still very difficult.

When you drop a game 1 at home and miraculously squeak out a win in another game 1 then I'd say you've got a good shot of getting swept by good teams.

That's incredibly poor logic, but yes, of course there are teams in NBA history that would sweep both of these teams

Same reason LA was a fav in 2008 against Boston and  they didn't even have home court....LA and Mia are pubby favs that's all.

How is that incredibly poor logic?  I didn't say that they were a bad team for dropping game 1 at home.  I said that you stand a good chance of getting swept against good teams when you do things like this.  You surely don't stand any less of a chance of getting swept than you did before the series started.  Now the implication that I left unanswered was what I considered to be a good chance of getting swept.  At any rate, I don't think you can say it is highly unlikely that you get swept when you seem to have a proclivity to struggle in game 1 at home.  I understand this is a young(er) team but this current team in its current form was exactly the team I posed to question about.

Anyway, it wasn't my intention to be that asshole following you guys around in every thread.  I personally think you are a bit cocky but many of you are fans as well so that is to be expected.  I'll keep my nose out of your threads from here on out.

Enjoy your money going down the drain. If you bet objectively, instead of with your inherent Chicago bias, perhaps your opinion would be credible. There is NO value in a Bulls bet to win the series in 5 games. You are wrong.

I effed up and didn't play this but I really should have in hindsight. Only thing I'd be worried about depeche is that they sweep. 

Excellent call though
