So "glad" hardcore rigged Philippine Basketball is back, always good for a laugh.
Alaska aces 17/36 free throws, turnover 20sec before the end at 82:82 and then lose to a buzzer.
Did everything they can to lose this game.
This league is a real shame, honestly!
Really? or maybe it's just your own opinion, we might think the league is rigged but we can't conclude they are as we have no evidence.
If you are a bettor, just bet on the right side so you'll win.
I'm glad I was not able to bet on this game, I might still lose as I will bet on the magnolia spread.
This has nothing to do with right side - wrong side.
PH basketball has a history of being corrupt and fixed and easy to tell at the start of the season that this hasn't changed.
I agree with that, but if you really know it's corrupt and you are still watching it, then you should put some bet and take advantage of it. The thing is, you would not love watching the game if you don't put a bet because it will not anymore excite you, so no sense in wasting your time.
Actually, it's not only PBA that is corrupt, even NBA, there are a lot of theories that fix games are happening, so PBA is not different.
This story of game-fixing is not new to us and to prove that indeed there are rigged games is very hard. IMO, I think that it's just a coincidence that everything turned out that way and the PBA has nothing to do with it. Who will benefit if they will intend to lose their game and with today's technology, it is easier to spot a rigged game than before, and being honest and fair is profitable nowadays so I give them the benefit of the doubt that it's only pure coincidence.
We have different theories, and personally, I believe that PBA could be rigged, however, I still love to watch this game as PBA is still the most popular basketball in the league, so we have no choice. About how they benefit, we don't know, but we millions of money being wagered in a game, a million per game income for fixing the game could already make the team owner richer as that's easy money.
Back to the actual game now, the next schedule will be on Friday.
We got Ginebra vs Bossing and Beermen vs NLEX, both SMB teams had loss on their opening game.
