I want to follow you with your statement regarding to those PBA players who decided to sign with MPBL, I know it's not about the salary but more on the exposure and for them to enhance their skills, with PBA they will have a limited time but with MPBL they can be one of the star of the team.
We can't remove the fact that there are many pinoy talents and good thing that MPBL are adopting those rising stars and giving them exposures.
I couldn't agree more with you mate
. Raw talent that needs development will just be stagnant in the PBA if you don't have good connections with the coaching staff, i mean those players who are not sons or families of some coaching staff will just be bench warmer or practice player if their talent is just regular.
I've read an article that stated that a certain player refuses the offer of a certain PBA team to join MPBL, that sounds insulting to the PBA itself but maybe that guy have a good reason why he opt out of the PBA, just like you said, maybe playing time or exposure so that may scouts from a foreign team could see his talent and bring him overseas where the money is good.
Yeah they've got lots of reason and one of those is the point that you are mentioning about favoritism and playing time exposures, even you have your contract and you are secured to recieve your monthly payment it's still better to have that chance to play, and with how our neighboring countries are pirating players, those who choose to play outside PBA might get that chance and for sure it will be more money and exposures if they manage to play overseas.
Who was able to bet on the Blackwater Bossing against Converge? I checked the odds before the game, and they were very attractive for the Bossing. I was actually considering placing a bet, but I got busy and ended up forgetting about the upcoming game. It's frustrating; it could have been easy money.
The score was 97-102
A missed opportunity and for sure very frustrating since the outcome really favor your supposed bet, nothing can be done about that but to try to check back those available games and make sure to place your bet to avoid regretting again.
