Let's move on to the semi-finals series.

Here's the schedule for the best of seven semi-finals with
TNT vs RainOrShine and Ginbebra vs San Miguel Beermen.

I'm excited for the bookies to be available, right now, I still can't see some matches available in popular crypto betting platforms.

Sure spot for another RSA team, while MVP will need to win against ROS which will surely gives them a hard time, maybe it's time for coach yeng to be back in the finals and maybe finally a team outside MVP and SMC will win this season, still far but we never know what might be the outcome of those two semifinals games, both Gin kings and SMB are tough but if ever ROS manage to move forward it will bring more fans interest of they'll gaoing to compete against the Gin kings..

That -8.5 spread may seem high, but I still think it was the right pick. GL!

It was definitely a high spread, and a lot of bettors took a hit in this game. Converge was in control for most of it, but JMF put on a heroic performance to carry SMB to victory. Unfortunately, it was only a 4-point win, and I also lost my live bet on SMB at -4.5. Losing by just 0.5 makes it sting even more!

Anyway, it's over, so let's move on to the semi finals that will start in October 9.

Fajardo delivered a phenomenal performance, scoring 40 points and securing 20 rebounds, preventing a near disaster against Converge. However, they need to elevate their game as Ginebra poses a different challenge in the semi-finals.

For that matchup, I’d go with Ginebra as well. I don’t see anyone capable of stopping Brownlee, and their locals are in good form. It seems like CJ isn't playing at full strength, possibly dealing with an injury, so that gives a solid opportunity to bet on the more proven team, Ginebra. While Japeth might not fully match up against Fajardo, the edge in coaching definitely favors Ginebra.

One thing i observed in this series, if you put your bet on Converge with the spread, you always win as SMB didn't cover the spread in all their three wins.

That's what I noticed too.. easy money for converge on that series.

Yeah right, JMF the missing guy finally show up during game 5 it was a intense game as there are many dramas and I'm pretty sure fans who place their early bets for SMB's handicap dissapointed with how the team performs in the early quarters of the game, they are being down most of the quarters.

It was the last quarter that they finally overrun Converge after that another drama that happens, and like what you said it's done and lets move forward and see who's going to win this upcoming semis.

I don't think we'll see much of the bench in this game, as it's the last of the series, so the starters will likely get heavy minutes. JMF should be their main option to draw the defense inside and open up SMB's three-point shooting. It’s Marcio’s moment to shine—he needs to hit those shots from the outside. Starting strong is key, but they need to maintain that intensity throughout, especially in the second half, since they’ve been outplayed in that stretch in the last two games. Expect a very physical match, with SMB coming off two losses; they’ll definitely find ways to shut down Converge’s offense, particularly from the perimeter.

As for the point spread, with SMB at -8.5, it might be worth the risk.

SMB didn't have the best start, falling behind by double digits in the first quarter, but they’re gradually clawing their way back. It’s still early in the 2nd quarter, and Converge is putting up a real fight, playing as if they’re the stronger team. That -8.5 spread may seem high, but I still think it was the right pick. GL!

And hoping coach Gallant will use Teng, TR7 and the rest who can still contribute they are deep with role and star players who can are just sharing with a little time sitting in their bench.

Funny to see that there's some drama inside SMB's bench not sure what happened with coach Leo and Ross it might affect them mentally, maybe coach Leo is nit happy with how the players playing the game, not sure why JMF is not taking shots even the big advantage still on him, let see if what adjustments they'll be going to execute its a do or die now for them and we never know if what will happen next.

I didn't expect this series to be as thrilling as it is now... 2-2, and the next game is a do-or-die! The same key players stepped up for Converge in the last quarter - Santos was on fire again with his outside shooting, and SMB couldn't find a way to stop him. It seems like they really lacked defense and might have underestimated Converge. Plus, it feels like their import isn't the best fit, focusing mostly on inside offense, which should be JMF's role. SMB could benefit from an import with strong outside shooting to space the floor, someone like JB.

I like to point that too, with the way the import played even he's a good scoring machine that position supposedly the best advantage for JMF, with the way they are executing their offense mostly the ball keeps in the hands of their import, hopefully they'll manage to adjust and make things right.

Hopefully they will not repeat that same mistake and lose that huge lead and allow converge to extend the series,,...

Unfortunately, they made the same mistake again, and now the series is tied. In this series I thought SMB would easily dominate, but that didn't happened. I still need to watch the game highlights 'cause I'm surprised how they lost last night. That big 3rd quarter run by Converge was solid; last time it was in the 4th, now it's the 3rd quarter. Even if they win this one, I think they'll still lose to Ginebra on their next match up or in the finals.

This is the quarter scoring of the game.

SMB 29 - 26 - 24 - 21
Converge 31 - 20 - 37 - 26

I have a feeling that game 4 won't be close anymore so i'm going to bet for SMB even with a spread of 10.5.

Good thing it's just -7.5 starting now, but I'm sure it'll go up later, so we should bet early. This is the only game today, so we need to win to make it a profitable day. Converge got a good rest, but I'm sure SMB won't let them shoot outside with a high percentage. They need to tighten up their defense, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends as a 30+ point win, probably a blowout by the first half.

I’ve already placed my bet: SMB -7.5 at 1.85 odds. I believe SMB will tighten their perimeter defense, making it tough for Converge to maintain a decent field goal percentage. Although CJ Perez missed several point-blank shots in the last game, I think he will not repeat those mistakes tonight.

Hopefully they will not repeat that same mistake and lose that huge lead and allow converge to extend the series, better to finished it and move forward for the semis, though it's not an easy task as knowing converge they are keep doing their best as they wanted to continue their quest, it's a matter of trust especially for those gamblers who loves taking the risk either to ML or handicap it's more on how you analyze the game and how you trust your instinct when betting to the game.

I just checked most of gambling platforms that supports cryptocurrency, I still can't see upcoming games of PBA.
Converge vs San Miguel Beermen in the game tomorrow, I want to bet badly now as I only have free time now Grin

Does anyone know which platform already has a match available to be able start betting on?

(...)

It seems it's not immediately listed to other bookies if it's above 24hours left before the game starts. I also checked it on duelbits when I wrote the post, I still can't find any PBA match yesterday.

I believe San Miguel Beermen vs Converge is a mismatch but maybe there's a miracle and we can even bet on handicap for Converge.
Converge +7.5 seems good odds for a small bet only. (I will target bisdak40's bet Cheesy

)

They were just late and for checking in vave, they already have it. So, most bookies probably have this match already listed.

You can also try looking it up on Sportsbet or Stake - they seem to have similar and updated lines. Just go to the basketball section, and you'll find it there.

I agree. Most likely that they have the match already when one bookie has it, the rest follows it at the same time.

The damage is done, and there's no going back, haha. Suspending the ref for their mistakes was a good call, but that wasn’t the reason SMB lost- it was their lack of defense that allowed Converge to make a comeback after a huge deficit. Now, speculation is alive again among bettors, hinting at possible game rigging. Honestly, I see Converge as a weaker team and a mismatch against SMB, which makes that comeback even more surprising.

Though i bet for Converge on that game but i don't think there was an anomaly on that game, just that the Beermen relaxed on the fourth quarter thinking that Converge can't come back on that particular game but it was surprising that 3's were falling for Converge. I have a feeling that game 4 won't be close anymore so i'm going to bet for SMB even with a spread of 10.5.

Well, everyone’s opinion is welcome, but let’s move on. I agree with you that the next game is likely to be a blowout, with SMB finishing strong. Just like how Magnolia evened the series against ROS, and TNT dominated NLEX to advance, I see a similar scenario playing out here. Thought the point spread isn’t out yet, but I’d say -10.5 should be a solid pick. I’m with you on that one!
