Have you guys knew that Mickey Williams is still not officially a Katropa?

Yes, according to news on social media that Williams wants to be paid equal to his salary in his MPBL days which is Php300K in which many doubted it was true because no MPBL teams is rich enough to pay that kind of amount.

The maximum rookie salary is Php200K and considering you are a rookie i think this is enough and not agreeing to that might give the team an impression that you have a problem attitude because you are deviating to standards.

What do you think of this case?

Uhm, yeah, they can continue to put those matches and if those teams involved are the next in line, the sportsbook will definitely notice the side of it that they're having a lot of volume for that match of the team that has been involved in match-fixing.
I think this is going to be the last of it and those players won't allow themselves to be used again in such if they want to grow in this business and career.

After what happened I do still believe that this might be the eye opener from those players who plan to take this path. If this news continue to circulate and not be forgotten for nothing, it will improve the types of investigations in case another game fix has been detected.

Bookmaker are good as they have the algo which shows how huge the volumes of bets are coming, either cancelling the event
or investigate those accounts who place their bets to this suspicious game.

They are in the business long enough to justisfied their claims, once the  suspicions has been weight in.
And those players that will be accused and proven guilty, have to find another career path, and if they're able to save as much money as they can during their career-high on such league, good for them.
But if they're not responsible saver and they keep on spending with their hard-earned money for useless things and they've been involved in another match-fixing, they will find it hard to cope up with their lifestyles. Hopefully that this won't happen in PBA.

I don't think those who are involve in sports rigging will use their name to bet in a betting site, they probably are just using a dummy, but with this investigation, it might link to their identity if its proven that sports rigging did happen. If this game has a line in crypto sports, then I think it will be hard to investigate and to link the bet to the culprit.

With this big disappointments, I'm wondering if we can still bet on these sports in the future.
I mean, like MPBL, it's a popular league next to PBA, and when there's a controversy inside about sports rigging, will sportsbook still list this game?
They might be but if another thing happens, I'm sure that will be the time that they will start to consider removing most of them or those teams that have an ugly history.
And if that time comes for sure many will be disappointed not unless the sportsbooks doesn't care about this kind of anomaly.

They can continue providing it but the question there is are gamblers still willing to place their bets after knowing this kind of act? Most gamblers will move away from this sport as they know that they are risking high since rigging is very possible.

There are lots of other options and since we are discussing here about PBA then it's better to focus with this league instead of
trying to find other alternatives.

Game fixing should never be tolerated, better not to fall.

will they follow the old format where there's an import or this will be just all Filipino conference again?
AFAIK, this upcoming season is just for all Filipinos. Correct me if I'm wrong with that because that's what I've read before about the format. And the second season is the one where there will be the imports to play with every teams.

Good news.

Maybe soon we will know when and what format will be this coming new season, this is the update that we are all waiting for, maybe this week we will see the decision.
Well at least we are seeing the BOD doing some things just to push the season amid the pandemic.
One season at least for the year would be good already but pushing it into 2 seasons would be better although it would cost them more money.


One season, how many conferences is that? If they'll be in the bubble, will they follow the old format where there's an import or this will be just all Filipino conference again?

they can do their thing while the management has to discipline teams and players involve in rigging, it's a big job of cleaning the league but once it's clean, people would trust them again. Corruption is rampant in our country but we should act on this, a corrupt sport will never survive because no fans would love to watch them.
The best action that the management can do just to discipline them is to just expel them or ban them and for me, that is a good decision because they can destroy the reputation of the sport.
Will the game-fixing will be cleaned?? As much as I believe it will, I don't think knowing that they don't know which game are fixed and which are not. Its just that this controversial game consists of players who don't know how to act thus, its obvious that they are game fixing Cheesy.

That's true, once it gets more corrupted, no one will ever trust and watch them again. Good-bye to supporters, goodbye to sponsors too that makes the league continuously running.
Because if it's not for them, there will be no monetary value that will come to the league.

Maybe soon we will know when and what format will be this coming new season, this is the update that we are all waiting for, maybe this week we will see the decision.
This is good news, now, we only have to wait for them announce the final decision that they've agreed together.

Crucial PBA board meeting to decide season format, new opening date

Quote
THE PBA 46th season hopefully will get more's clarity by Monday.

The league's board of governors convenes in a crucial meeting that will determine how it will go about the new season.

Chairman Ricky Vargas and Commissioner Willie Marcial will take turns in assessing the situation and giving out possible scenarios as the PBA sees another delay in its season opener for the second straight year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Among the top matters in the league agenda is the current finances of the team since it will play a major role in two important undertakings the PBA needs moving forward – vaccine and bubble play.

Maybe soon we will know when and what format will be this coming new season, this is the update that we are all waiting for, maybe this week we will see the decision.

Bookies will never get affected, they are in control of the line and they can always minimiz the risk by balancing both sides. It's the bettors who loss on the losing team will sacrifice but bookies will continue to make money. Also, they can limit the market of this bet if they found it unreliable, but would not totally remove it from betting market.

Maybe, they are always in business to offer us a chance to gamble no matter what the reputation of the game, as long as the public is betting and the action can be balance, bookies will take this as an opportunity, nice explanation mate, these people really are clever, more clever than those who are rigging sports.

Indeed, that's why we don't have to worry on betting but worry on the reputation of our sports only.

Meanwhile, as Cone is excited on the new tandem, I'm sure the fans are more than excited.

Cone excited to roll out new Standhardinger-Aguilar combination

Imagine how they can dominate the inside.  Cheesy

Now from the MPBL.

DOJ to file criminal raps against 17 in MPBL game-fixing case
Quote
Fittingly, news of the breakthrough comes just a day after a new regional league, the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup, banned one team for life and suspended and fined members of another ballclub after a dubious game.

Curiously, among those charged were Joshua Alcober aka Desmond Alcober, who was one of the members of the Siquijor Mystics ballclub that was hit with a lifetime ban on Thursday following their controversial match against Lapu-Lapu.

This is the right thing to do, charge them criminally so everyone will see this as a warning not do game fixing which ruined our reputation.
Well, that is the only thing that they can do right now but I'm pretty sure that more of these will happening in the future.

I'm not pretty sure if game-fixing is already happening for quite some time already but that game is very obvious. Charging them, expulsing them and banning them are the punishments that they can gave to the player or the whole team but the damage has been done. The reputation of the sport has been damaged.

I don't know if this is true though but those players are just being ordered by the higher authorities because they have bets on it. This is just a theory but I think that these players are just being used here. We don't know who these "higher authorities" are though. Still a disappointment for me that game-fixing is happening in different basketball leagues in our country.  Undecided

They're taking this seriously and this serves also as a warning if there are still some of them that are involved with such.
If they are taking care of their career while being part of a team and the league itself, they should take care of their reputation and won't agree to be part of such a dirty game which many of us don't like.

Nevertheless, it is still a very bad game to watch and it's just fitting that GAB ordered an investigation and punished those people behind this.

If they are betting against themselves, then they should already had made money on this.

Maybe they were doing this kind of activity for so long and already made some money out of it.

The question is, if the fine is just monetary, it would be easy for them to get away if they bet millions on that game.
What bookies are actually accepting bets on this particular league in the Philippines?

I'm just curious as I haven't bet on this game yet.

I looked through Sportbet as they cover some games in the MPBL but i didn't saw they cover the Vis-Min Cup so i think if they were betting online, it's just a local online bookies. I have not tried betting on local bookies as i think they need KYC so i didn't bother to try.

I'm very disappointed/frustrated about this issue because aside from the fact that this is a disgrace to the game we love, i have a relative playing for Lapu-Lapu team which could affect his personal life after basketball.

This is already for investigation and i hope he will come out clean.
