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:
