    I took the Warriors at 4/1 back in October so maybe it won't be a total loss.

    Any one else want to bet $100 on the Rockets winning it all, I'll give you 300-1 odds, or beat any other odds-makers at Vegas.

    So there's not a minimum? I'll consider placing a $3 bet.

    Id be hesitant to make that bet if it was just for us to even win one game.

    If we pull off a miracle win against Golden State (which is surely lower odds than 1/250 in itself??) we have a slim chance even then... but...

    WE GOT THIS! #PURSUIT! WOOOO!

    Interviewer: "so harden, apparently you game into the season overweight"
    Harden: "ya this ring and finals MVP trophy are pretty ****ing heavy to carry"

    That's not a bad hedge at all.

    This. No offense to OP but these "odds" just prove that Vegas sets them not on probability but just on what will move some money.

    I would put the actual odds of this team winning the title this year at something more like 25,000:1. Not even kidding. :(

    Statistically speaking, There's a far greater than 25k:1 that curry and green both receive career ending injuries in the same game. So, I would go that far.

    I know we have sucked this year but i feel like we have a better chance than quite a few playoff teams that currently have better odds. Dallas has the same odds and I feel like they wouldnt beat any team in the playoffs save memphis.

    Playoff Dwight shows up + Harden takeover + catch some lucky breaks = 100/1 at worst.
    This team was 14/1 going into the season.
