We have a game today at 6 PM.

Bolts vs Magnolia, this is a very interesting matchup between the number 2 and number 3 teams in Pool A. As for the betting odds, Bolts are slight underdogs with a +2.5 handicap, but their moneyline is 2.44. Despite being a champion caliber team, it seems the team still doesn’t get the respect they deserve. I think they should be the favorites here, given they have a strong local lineup and a good import.

For the total, it's 194.5, I think this will go way under.

Looks like this is going to be a winner. The first half has ended with Meralco leading by 9 points, and the total score is only 69, which means it's a low-scoring game. That under 194.5 is already a win, even if this game goes into overtime. However, it's too early to make a conclusion about Meralco winning, as we know how strong Magnolia is. They could still come back and win the game. Anyway, since it's looking good, good luck to you!

Thanks, that was a good win by Meralco. They were lucky that Magnolia had no import. You are right, it was never a sure win despite the double-digit lead by Meralco because Magnolia made a big run in the 4th but just fell short. It was a very low-scoring game, and Meralco controlled the game from the 1st to the 3rd quarter. See you tomorrow for another bet, we have two games:

1st game: Northport vs DYIP
2nd game: TNT vs Converge (the telcos)


Congrats for your win, not really a fan of over and under and knowing both Meralco and Magnolia both teams are capable to outrun their opponents, but the game really got a low scoring ball game the half time gives the hints that the game might end with under since both teams are not doing well in terms of offense, and eventually it did gives you that win.

Not sure but with how DYIP is performing might be much better to take the risk siding for NP, chance is much better just observe and possible to place during the live games for a much better odds that bookies will offer.

Look at his kid, can't accept the 150k salary while the other rookies are receiving maximum salary. We can see the huge gap there when his kid was able to play overseas league with obviously a better pay. Well, the league is no doubt circulating with these two giant companies and when RSA said that people will get mad at them if they'll stop their operations there, he's just being for real. 1 billion pesos per year is really such an amount to maintain these all of teams coming from SMC alone.

Yes I agree to that the amount of his son's salary outside PBA is by far but Danny I knows the drill he just don't want to allow his son playing for the farm team, which is really triggering as he completely mentioned it with his social media reply, that's something which confirm the participation of those teams that being used as farm team.
Yeah, that made a controversial but Danny I later on went straight to the PBA office, I think it was the commissioner's as he's been called there and talks were done and they're all good again about that. These farm teams I think will never be gone, they're there to fruition of the big teams as the amount of money there is quite big and the trades that will happen always done deal for them.

It won't change anything, the situation inside this league is been dominated by boss Ramon and Manny V., those farm teams are extensions of their rights aside from their own franchise they also have controlled behind those additional farm teams, if only PBA management can sell those franchise to new competitive billionaires chances that it brings new competition and additional interest to new  sets of fans, but unfortunately,  there's no such plans or actions the management is well-feeded by both SMC and MVP.

I was hoping Lanete would miss at least one shot so the game would go to overtime, but he’s clutch. He doesn’t even seem to feel the pressure, especially as a rookie. I think he’ll become a superstar for the team, as Coach Yeng has a lot of confidence in him. Way to go for ROS! I’m sure they’ll be competitive this season, and with their current lineup, I think they have a shot at winning a championship.

Just imagine if they win—they’re still undefeated right now and have already beaten both SMB and Ginebra.

I hoping too that the game would go to overtime as SMB will have a chance to cover the spread but it didn't happen.

Yeah, i agree that Felix Lemetti has a bright future ahead of him because of what he has shown in that game, knocking those 3's then sank those 4 free throws that give them the lead, took a lot of guts and confidence to do that things. My fearless forecast is that ROS will be in the quarterfinals and might advance to the semis with their current roster.

I read some comments on Facebook saying that Lemetti is really an extraordinary player, as he was an NCAA MVP in the country where he’s playing. That’s why it’s not surprising that he’s performing like a pro—he’s got the skills and training. This rookie is going to help make ROS a championship contender again. Even Coach Yeng was happy despite the loss, so you can tell he’s satisfied with the current roster and believes they will be a championship contender.



You can see it in the way he plays and the confidence Coach Yeng has in him. What I like about him is how focused he is; he doesn’t celebrate much, even after making tough shots, which shows the qualities of a true star player. I’m actually betting on ROS to upset the heavy favorites if they make it to the elimination round, as I’m sure they’ll be underrated.

Anyway, moving on to today’s action:

Bossing vs. NLEX at 5:00 PM
Ginebra vs. Phoenix at 7:30 PM

Let’s discuss the first game. Bossing is on a two-game winning streak, while NLEX lost their previous game. I think it’s about time for Bossing to start losing again.

NLEX is just -1.5 now, and I think I’m going to grab it.

update loss this bet as NLEX continues to tank.

It closed at -4.5 a minute before the game, and they still retained their import Adams, so there's no issue with chemistry for SMB. However, they should recognize the urgency of winning and covering the spread as well, so bettors will be happy. SMB is currently leading by 10 points with less than 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. They need to maintain that lead to prevent ROS from making a comeback in the 4th. So far, this looks like SMB's game, and it seems they'll end their losing streak. As for the total, it does look like it'll hit the over. Good luck!

Unfortunately, SMB only won by 1 point, so it ruined even the -2.5 spread. JMF made the game-winner with 3 seconds left on the clock, but if he hadn't, that rookie Lanete from ROS would have been the best player. The kid was clutch, sinking all 4 of his free throws during ROS's last shot attempt. It was an exciting game; I thought SMB would cover the spread easily, but when JMF sat down, things shifted, and ROS regained their confidence.

I'm in the impression that SMB blow it out but they almost lost the game, just like what you mentioned if that shot from JMF, they've been upset by ROS, those young guns really a great deal this season, they are all got that winning mentality good thing that SMB win and prevent that 3 game losing streaks.

I was hoping Lanete would miss at least one shot so the game would go to overtime, but he’s clutch. He doesn’t even seem to feel the pressure, especially as a rookie.

Just imagine if they win—they’re still undefeated right now and have already beaten both SMB and Ginebra.

With such pressure from the crowd I agree how tough this young star will turn to, just so lucky that JMF made that last shot since it's been a contest but that lucky bounce back gives them the win, I see your point as they are now on the top spot from the bracket though they lose the game that confidence will continue to developed, and I'm sure coach Yeng will be happy seeing his squad being more competitive with those rookies and young stars that steeping up to aid the team.

Looking forward to see them competing in the playoffs, maybe semis or more that's interesting let's see if how this new bracketing will help each squad who are performing well.

It's hard to get more teams in the PBA. But if they're up really for competition, they should have done that long time ago. They've got fewer teams and good teams have already left the league because they're tired of the politics and the trade farming. SMC and MVP are getting good trades. They're just picking the best players from those farm teams, they hate to admit it but Danny I have spoken about it.

And after he spoke about it he got penalize that's how funny this league was, but there's nothing that can be done here just like what you said if PBA is interested with new teams they already done that long time ago, but they are all satisfied with the benefits that they are getting from SMC and MVP, the managements are not been shaken to whatever is happening inside the league they are well-feed by boss Ramon and Boss MVP.. hehehe..

Just an update regarding the spread, if you check, it's only -2.5 now at 1.91, which gives more value to SMB backers. Additionally, I'm considering betting over 214.5.

September 05, 2024, 01:12:06 AM

edit:
my bet for today's game:
SMB -3.5 @1.82 vs ROS

ROS is still undefeated, but SMB is on a losing streak. Sure, I'll follow this pick, although SMB might have a new import now. This team is a championship-caliber squad, and they won't allow their struggles to continue, which is why they changed their import immediately after experiencing consecutive losses. So, just like you, I'm confident that SMB will win.

Just an update regarding the spread, if you check, it's only -2.5 now at 1.91, which gives more value to SMB backers. Additionally, I'm considering betting over 214.5.

The game started off exciting for Converge in the 1st quarter, but after that, Meralco took control, leading to a blowout loss for Converge. This explains why the handicap was so high—it seemed like a trap, and it turned out to be one.

In the 2nd game, the score is tied at 46 at halftime. It's uncertain whether Magnolia will take over in the 2nd half, but if they do, it could lead to a blowout win, with the spread easily being covered.


Still a close game between Magnolia and NP  one more final push for whoever team that will win this game, nice to see that NP is putting the pressure not to allow an easy game for Magnolia, though I don't see any good ball movement from both teams as they all just trying to shot the ball whoever is holding it, especially with NP not sure if they are calling plays, just take it strong to the basket without any rotation.

Not call for offensive set up though Magnolia is doing that same attack option but you can see from them that they still make it sure that there's passes before they take charge just not good rhytm and they keep missing, let see if they can find that timing and make a big run this last quarter.

At some point in the fourth quarter, I thought NorthPort was going to upset Magnolia. They managed to bring the game to a single-possession ball game, but poor defense allowed Magnolia to extend their lead with a three-point shot. It was still a decent game for NorthPort, though—they didn't have their import due to injury, but they didn't let Magnolia dominate them.

bisdak (congrats bro) was lucky to get -4.5 for Magnolia. When I checked, it was -10.5, but regardless, Magnolia still covered the spread since they beat NorthPort by 11 points.

I also think that way when seeing them giving a hard time for Mags to dominate but that inexperienced in the final quarter, they unable to push as Mags find it's way to win with a double digit leads, congrats to everyone who manage to bet with that handicap like kabayan bisdak good pick again.

And that's why many fans have lost their appetites because we keep on seeing the same teams like the SMCs in the finals. But the last conference was actually good and a game changer. For the first time, Meralco has won its title and it is the rival company of the SMC, the MVP.
If we get to see this, I think that most of the teams will be handled or under by MVP as well and the PBA will be just a bunch of sister companies and teams under MVP and SMC.

Yeah right, though just reading a social media post about Akari showing interest in buying one of those 2 farm teams, it might be an interesting additional competitors if the management is willing to throw money to make a competitive squad, else, just like what happened with Converge, they ends up nothing and just going with the flow allowing SMC and MVP to continue their dominance.

Thanks bro, i placed my bet around 1 pm yesterday and i didn't know that NorthPort will be playing without an import but nevertheless it was a gallant stand by the locals of the Batang Pier as they almost win the game, it just that the breaks of the game favored the Hotshots in the last minutes of the game.

Yeah right, though just reading a social media post about Akari showing interest in buying one of those 2 farm teams, it might be an interesting additional competitors if the management is willing to throw money to make a competitive squad, else, just like what happened with Converge, they ends up nothing and just going with the flow allowing SMC and MVP to continue their dominance.
It's hard to get more teams in the PBA. But if they're up really for competition, they should have done that long time ago. They've got fewer teams and good teams have already left the league because they're tired of the politics and the trade farming. SMC and MVP are getting good trades. They're just picking the best players from those farm teams, they hate to admit it but Danny I have spoken about it.

The game started off exciting for Converge in the 1st quarter, but after that, Meralco took control, leading to a blowout loss for Converge. This explains why the handicap was so high—it seemed like a trap, and it turned out to be one.

In the 2nd game, the score is tied at 46 at halftime. It's uncertain whether Magnolia will take over in the 2nd half, but if they do, it could lead to a blowout win, with the spread easily being covered.


Still a close game between Magnolia and NP  one more final push for whoever team that will win this game, nice to see that NP is putting the pressure not to allow an easy game for Magnolia, though I don't see any good ball movement from both teams as they all just trying to shot the ball whoever is holding it, especially with NP not sure if they are calling plays, just take it strong to the basket without any rotation.

Not call for offensive set up though Magnolia is doing that same attack option but you can see from them that they still make it sure that there's passes before they take charge just not good rhytm and they keep missing, let see if they can find that timing and make a big run this last quarter.

At some point in the fourth quarter, I thought NorthPort was going to upset Magnolia. They managed to bring the game to a single-possession ball game, but poor defense allowed Magnolia to extend their lead with a three-point shot. It was still a decent game for NorthPort, though—they didn't have their import due to injury, but they didn't let Magnolia dominate them.

bisdak (congrats bro) was lucky to get -4.5 for Magnolia. When I checked, it was -10.5, but regardless, Magnolia still covered the spread since they beat NorthPort by 11 points.
