At least the Terrafirma DYIP had their first win of the conference, LMAO. I can't believe they beat the SMB, but that's what it is, we just have to accept and move on, and since I don't see anyone here saying he won his bet on that game, I presume everyone was on the SMB in that game.

I see your point. The first half seems to attract bettors to place bets for SMB,
if you are following the live games, you see the handicap moves up to -7.5  interesting enough to make your bet

Coming 3rd quarter and SMB turned the game to their favor dominating and showcase their talents.
Romeo and Mo' makes their move and creates double digit leads.

Last quarter is the time, hahaha. 8-0 run from the underdog and SMB didn't call any timeout, they just let it and create more turnovers,
in the eyes of gamblers who understand the game, oh well, calling the game fix is very possible.. but nothing can be done now but to move on.

I did not see it coming too, the weakest team beat one of the strongest teams in the league, I think it's unbelievable, maybe some will think that " THE FIX IS IN", lol. PBA is not clean, lots of rumors that it's fixed, and we are seeing it again and therefore we should not be surprised by this.

Those who have that big ball to bet with Terrafima ML are enjoying now,
especially those who get in the second half where it's almost impossible to see that they will comeback and win.
Tiongson and Camson fought well, lifting the DYIP and complete the chase of winning inside OT.

Good game as they really playing with the heart, I don't know what happened with SMB they collapsed in the last quarter,
Perez is not doing well with the rotation, still missing his offensive productions.

Did anyone see it coming?

lol. IIRC, SMB is -14 against the Terrafirma DYIP and yet they lose in the game, what a lucky win for those who got the balls to put their bet on the DYIP to beat the SMB. The game went into OT and the final score is 110-104.

Seems good point, unlike with regular court which they can easily be make a basket, this new court may need some adjustments, and with that long wait before they can play back it's also affects them in these upcoming games.

I'll go with you instead of waiting for ML or handicap, under might be more possible though it's still depends on how both teams will play.

Good luck and don't forget that there's another game @ 6pm between Bolts and Magnolia.

We actually have 3 fights today. I can see 3 games listed in here https://sportsbet.io/sports/basketball/philippines/pba-philippine-cup/matches

I like the strategy on betting the under, but I think will do a parlay betting on this one, I will place an under in the first game, and if I lose I will double in the 2nd game, just like a martingale strategy but not fully. But if I am unlucky, I would not bet on the last game.

I'm glad you guys are talking about the betting odds already, that means we will see some games today.

We have 2 games today, both are early games.

1st game at 12:30 and 2nd game at 3:00 PM

I guess my pick would be both under as they are not familiar with the court yet and its the firs 2 games in the resumption of season, they will likely struggle a bit due to some rust.

I think interruptions and hiccups is expected here but if they went on it smoothly it just meant they prepared for this opening. Well, it will be a disappointment to the fans if they further delay it again, the fans are awaiting for this to happen and even me when the NBA and Olympics ended. Thanks for the news though!

Glad to see that is now resuming and we do have available games tomorrow, got some spare coins to use but upon checking ML is not that appealing for both SMB and TNT while with Magnolia that's interesting.

I'll wait till tomorrow if the odds may change else. I'll go with you with that handicap or the other choice is to parlay games between SMB and Magnolia.

Good luck everyone, it's time to enjoy again watching our favorite!

This is sounds great news for the Filipinos who loved Philippines basketball industry. I always bet to SMB win or loss I am solid fan of this team for a decades now. Though, I know there are other team at the PBA now that have more skilled players rather than SMB, but of course let see what will happen next. 

Just saw on my newsfeed that PBA will now resume the All-Filipino Cup tomorrow.

And I think the game schedule was modified. Even games are mostly triple-headers, there are no back-to-back games which is good as teams can rest a day before a match. Only the NorthPort Batang Pier will not have games this week in accordance with the health and safety protocols of the league.

Hoping there will be no more interruptions so that the conference will now run smoothly.

I don't think vaccine availability is the problem here in PH because here in my place, there is a substantial supply of vaccines, it's only the people who are hesitant to be vaccinated. Got mine already but there are a lot of people (mostly not working in a company) who refuse to be vaccinated due to some news that they read on social media. 

BTW, we have 3 games for tomorrow but I'm only betting on the SMB vs Dyip game.

My pick, SMB -14.5 @1.91, boosted.

What about the normal citizens that are unemployed since the pandemic hits the country? PBA Players are still far more comfortable with their livings compare to them. They can at least handle 1-2 years of their self-resources. PBA is also not the one giving the salary to their players. The teams are the ones shouldering the salary. PBA also gives continuous salaries to their staff and employees as supports during pandemic. If PBA will just shoulder those until the country situation becomes good then they will not lose Php72 million per bubble. In the worst case, if PBA will still continue the bubble operation, in 1-2 years, the players you are talking about will suffer in the future.

And what if teams are having a Covid situation on a regular basis, the delays will just continue and the conference will never end. They are still paying for facilities and hotels even there's a delay. Once the situation got eased, that's the best time to continue operating.

But don't worry my statement can't be applied now because they are 100% ready for the comeback. It's just that continuous delay sucks if ever at least 3 teams will have a Covid situation. Better to stop the conference rather than continue if that happened. The difference here in PH compare to other countries like the USA that are now returning to normal on their sports is the availability of the vaccines.

That's easy to say for us but the PBA players have to make a living and they need to feed their families.

Maybe the PBA organization sees it, that's why they still want to continue the season in a semi-bubble format. I don't know why only in the Philippines do we struggle, but in other countries, basketball leagues are ongoing, even in America which has the highest rate of infection.

I agree with you. I even think 3 teams is enough to call it over. 3 teams can already give a long delay for the continuation of the season since their games will be a delay. As the usual quarantine period is 14 days, that's a long period.

If things go on like that, why not PBA just rest for a year or two to save cost. Don't mind the entertainment part as there are other sports as well that Filipino fans can watch and these people will understand that the temporary rest of PBA is necessary.

These guys are healthy but now showing signs of lack of athleticism especially Marcio Lassiter and Alex Cabagnot.

That's the point why they sign Romeo and CJ Perez to fill the slots of these two once retirement came. Since SMB can do everything about trades, it becomes possible for them to solve their future problem right away. Influence at its finest lol.


+1 for you.

I didn't notice that lol.

I still like him but I know he is so arrogant but that's alright as long as he gives his best to contribute and still makes SMB the best team in the league.
Some people hates him but we can't deny his talent, not only his shot selection but his defense as well.



Eventually, it will reach the number of infections if they will not be able to monitor it well, the virus spread very fast, so they should not allow anyone to get infected with the virus and just make sure all the protocol are properly followed and put a serious sanctions for the violators.

Seems you are not of Arwind Santos mate, hehe.

Yeah, SMB's death squad is still very lethal even if all of them are above 30s and I'm expecting that there will be some impact on Junemar's play on what happened to his mother, he might not say it but I'm sure it has some effect.


Another thing ^^ that they stipulated in the manifest/contract on the Pampanga resumption, IMO covid in six teams is too much already. Even if it is in only four teams, they can cancel the season already.

I hope the top teams now in the standing are ready for this. Not only Romeo but the original starters of the SMB, they still have  a healthy Cabagnot, Chris Ross, and Lassiter, and of course, who would forget ArWIND Santos who also played a vital role of the team's succcess.

CJ Perez has only become a bonus since he is not the main option for now, but he is okay with the role as eventually when the starters retire, he will have more time to shine.
