NBA betting: Four dark horse bets offering huge odds

The NBA is so close to tipping off the regular season, you don't even have to have synesthesia to be practically tasting John Tesh's "Roundball Rock" right now. It's the second-best auditory experience in sports, right below the "cha-ching" of hitting a long shot bet.
