Want to take a really long shot at making some money? You could go to Las Vegas and bet the Charlotte Bobcats to win the NBA championship at 500-1 odds. A $20 bet, on the other hand, would win you $10,000 if the Bobcats (an NBA-worst 7-59 last season) pull off one of the biggest sports miracles of all time.
You probably are better off saving your $20. But as the NBA season opens in less than a month, I thought you might like a look at the odds for each NBA team to win the title, starting with the obvious favorite, the defending champion Miami Heat, and continuing all the way down to Charlotte:

so you're saying there's a chance
That's all I need, a chance!!
He must have watched Dumb & Dumber last night.
Would be the biggest waste of $20.00 ever, except for a ticket to an actual game.
The Orioles had similar odds at winning the World Series this year. Anything is possible. not likely, but possible.
Me, I'm hoping the Bobcats win 30 games. Beats the heck out of 7 any day.
So, which player is buying the add predicting the 2013 NBA title?
Make that a million to one.
But who the hell cares?
Here's a betid like to make...
...and I'd like to make it with YOU MJ!
Every year the Bobcats don't make it out of the 1st round of the playoffs you pay me $1000 and give me 2 tickets to each home game.
Every time your team makes it past the 1st round of the playoff I will pay you $5000 and buy two tickets for the following season.
10 or 20 year term to start, your choice.
Deal?3
A good chance!!!
If we just have a chance, that's enough for me, just to know there's a possibility!
GO BOBCATS!!!
