The Bulls are 3-0 on the year versus the Heat. They have home court advantage. They have fared very well in games against teams over .500. All of the public attention is on the Heat. The Bulls seem like a very good underdog in this series at +170.

Agree, though you may do well by waiting. I expect the line will get a tad higher with money coming in on the Heat in Game 1. Don't think the regular season games mean much but a better bench and coach sure do.

I thinkk home court advntage will be big as well. I have a feeling that even the away games will be heavily populated by Bulls fans

So you have to bet at least 170 dollars for the chance to win 100, right?

Have a sneaking suspicion I missed a joke somewhere, but just in case, it means you will win $170 if you bet $100.

Nice start. The line actually fell to 160 today but still seemed outrageous to me. Just wait until they go to Miami with the Bulls as 6 point dogs

Bulls -2 looks tasty. I'd love it to drop 1 point but I'd still take it at -2.

It was +350 before game 1.

You can still get the Bulls at -135 for this series. That still seems like a fair price with no 2 or more games still in Chicago and a 7th back here if needed.

If you like the Bulls to beat the Heat, then it makes sense to drop coin on the +300 to win the title. The Bulls will be favored over either Western Conference team, so a nice opportunity to hedge will present itself.

At matchbook.com (moment of silence......thank you), I still have futures plays pending on the Bulls at +1600 and the Tampa Bay Lightning at +2225.
