I still need lots of analysis before placing a bet although I already have some considerations.
Seems to me that Ginebra will take Game 2 but the handicap for Meralco is also eye-catchy. But more on, I will take Ginebra ML.
As usual, game-time decision before placing my bet. Hoping also for odds adjustment in favor of Ginebra to at least an additional @1 for their ML odds.
The odds seem nothing suspicious to me. IIRC, in game 1, Ginebra is -2.5, they lose by 11 points so -1.5 being them as the favorite is alright. I took the spread already last night thinking it might go up and I might miss the opportunity.
Yes, that a decent handicap even Meralco beats them in game 1 Ginebra's chance of taking game 2 is pretty possible, if there's no manipulation or in our terms "hulugan" Ginebra can easily cover that handicap and on my own analysis they can bounce and win with double digit lead. Though everything will be witness later when these two teams meet again and start playing their own respective system.
Adjustments from both teams are really anticipated, Ginebra will avoid losing 2 games streak from this series while Meralco will
try everything that they've got to take that comfortable lead.
There's a change now, from -1.5 the line goes up to -2.5 for the Ginebra. I have a feeling that it's a close game and I think Ginebra will even the series. For those who have not put their bet yet, I think -2.5 is still good to go, just trust the NSD team.
not sure if something has been cook behind there are post in social media that a tension happen after the game when both teams are going to their locker room, some of my friends who bet form Ginebra are very disappointed and calling it "hulog" as always when bettors can't accept the outcome they will find ways to release that disappointment.
