This is a great idea, sports betting is a fairly wide market in the Philippines (after all a lot of Filipinos are into different forms of gambling anyway). The only issue here right now is the pandemic, hopefully we roll out vaccines ASAP to make everything go back to the norm.

I believe he can get a contract anytime soon.

Sol Mercado is a veteran, he is a champion back with the BGSM if I'm not mistaken, so maybe a championship contender team would sign him to increase their chances. What team do you think will fit on Sol Mercado?
I'm thinking which team will he fit the most as of this moment.https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/sol-mercado-confident-he-still-has-lot-to-offer-to-pba-teams-a795-20210414?ref=feed_1_section

BlackWater?? They have many guards already and same with Magnolia. The only teams that I know that will have a chance to give him a contract are TerraFirma and Meralco. Meralco because they maybe need another guard in their current roster and TerraFirma because his experiences as a player might help those younger players since he already is a veteran. Aside from the 2, I don't think that somebody will give him a contract.
I believe he can get a contract anytime soon.

The huge problem of bubble set up is if 1 of the player or the staffs will get positive then they don't have a choixe to cancel the game and I think they will lose money for that scenarios thats why they are really thinking if its really worth to continue with bubble format. Lets just hope that they learn on their past bubble format and make something good improvements for the second time around if they want to make this happen as soon as possible.
You've got a point there mate but i think they have learned their lessons very well on the first bubble set-up and whatever problem they have encountered during the first bubble, they will address that and even improved if there is a second bubble setup.
Vaccine roll-out plus bubble set-up, i think that is enough for the PBA staff and players to feel safe.
Players and coaches are willing, so most likely we will see a PBA bubble soon, we are just waiting for the formal announcement.

Yeah, just a formal announcement, and all of our expectations and speculations would be filled by that one huge announcement. Everyone agrees with the bubble setup because it's the best idea that they can do these days.https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/tim-cone-willing-to-go-through-another-mentally-wearing-pba-bubble-a795-20210411?ref=feed_1_section

Cone willing to go through another 'mentally wearing' PBA bubble
He should be willing because he was successful last bubble, and since Fajardo has not fully recovered yet, I'm guessing Ginebra will again win in this set up. They're in a very situational event and it's still timely to do it, they don't have to imitate the NBA that most of them are back to their own courts because the situation is different and they've got more vaccines than us.
The main point triggered, they've got more vaccines than us, there's no chance imitating them as it will only put the players and all the staff at risk.
With bubble set up, it's much lesser than doing the usual,. It's bubble or nothing, the case of covid still huge so for sure that's the concern.
we can only wait and see if when will the final announcement will be done to know if what will be the fate of this league.
..small profits or just break-even is far better than nothing.
Agree. This is not what others don't get. They will always have a question, can PBA sustain it? As if we know the full capability of PBA in terms of the financial aspect. And to sustain or not is not our problem anymore because there is no way PBA will push something if they think they can't handle the budget. What are they looking for is to minimize the cost of expenses but they have a budget.
MECQ now in Manila effective today until the end of April. Sports aren't allowed to open. It will be only allowed in MGCQ areas which are so far low chance to be implemented in Manila. Like last year, Manila didn't have a chance to be under MGCQ and it's likely to happen again this year. The only way for the league to open the conference right now or for few months to go is to play on MGCQ areas but since it will be outside Manila, then a bubble is really the option.
Bubble is better, they have done it before so they are confortable doing it again under the current situation. We were excited to see PBA back to its old ways, but this news really disrupt that plan and the management has no chance but to comply the directives of the government, however, they can still open the season in a bubble format, better than nothing.
This is their last option since if they didn't implement the bubble they cannot start the season as the government protocols is the main problem they will encounter here. But if they think bubble format is not profitable at their ends maybe the best thing to do is to postpone the league for a while and let the vaccine roll out for safety of all.
Yes, it's the easiest way to follow since they have done this before in the same situation, however, people are more aware now so there wouldn't be no more major problem if they'll do the bubble one more time. This bubble could also be different as we are not only talking of one conference here, maybe the same conference but I'm hopefully it will not all end in a bubble set up.

Regarding Ginebra winning the championship again, with CStand in the team already they are the favorites right now in winning it. I think that even Fajardo will come back, SMB will find it hard to defeat its sister team.
There’s a lot of changes with PBA teams so every teams are working hard on this one, I’m rooting for a different teams to match in the finals, we’ll see how competitive those team this season.

Getting your point. If in case the quarantine got lifted maybe PBA have an alternative plans to proceed, it's also good to see just in case
this virus already been contained, seeing live games is very likely for most fanatics.

He should be willing because he was successful last bubble, and since Fajardo has not fully recovered yet, I'm guessing Ginebra will again win in this set up. Bubble or not, if San Miguel Beer have a healthy Fajardo this season, i think they will snatch the championship trophy from the Gin Kings.
Fajardo is used to this "mentally wearing" bubble as he is always away from his family and that would work on his advantage if they will be in a bubble once again.
PBA should do a bubble and not think if it's profitable or not because this time is not normal and thinking of profit is too selfish for them.
There is an ongoing "bubble" league happening in Cebu, a small organization so i think PBA holding a bubble would not be problem even if there is no vaccine yet.
I wish for his full recovery as SMB will not be the same without him.
BGSM are getting ready, they have 2 big man who can limit JMF, a healthy Fajardo is really a monster, however, how healthy he is when he come back?

More on Gins favor after acquiring CStand, Though Fajardo will always there to threat them as he got the domination inside but still not fully recovered and this bubble set up more consecutive games SMB will not force him.
We are waiting for the final announcement and as a fan I'll be glad to see them back and continue this league, small profits or just break-even is far better than nothing.
We don't know if Fajardo could play 100% the way he played when he won multiple MVPs award.
As this news says _ https://www.espn.com/basketball/pba/story/_/id/31025514/fajardo-return-season-not-sure-opener
He will return but not on the opener, that says he still has a problem and he might be in some restricted minutes.

Cone sees Slaughter flourishing with NorthPort: 'He needs the game to be built around him'
Just to let him feel upset on the trade, lol.. The fact that they let him go, it means they don't need him anymore as they are not satisfied with his performance, I'm not sure if that statement is really serious.
When Greg is still in the league around 2009, there are rumors already spreading regarding the Greg-CStand trade and after that Greg decided to leave Ginebra to practice outside the PH.Just to let him feel upset on the trade, lol.. The fact that they let him go, it means they don't need him anymore as they are not satisfied with his performance, I'm not sure if that statement is really serious.
Now that he is back, he's just being used as a trading tool and now the Ginebra got Cstand in exchange of him. One thing more is that the Ginebra already won a championship without him and that is a proof that they don't need him in order to win a championship. On Greg's side, he must show his improvements of his practice last year and he must show that the Ginebra really made the wrong choice of trading him. I'm really excited how Greg will play this upcoming season and how he will fit on the NorthPort
. I'm excited to see his improvements.He can stand out but the fact that the team he's been sent is not the type of a team who can compete with superb teams.
Plus also he's aging and lots of injuries, he can give some good minutes but without any supporting cast to win the game, he'll be forgotten
all along.
He should be thankful to land a team and now will still playing, unlike with other known players who still don't have clear destinations.
He is lucky he has the height, big man are usually a demand in the PBA, especially with the height like of JMF and Slaughter, they are actually rivals during their collage days and I'm happy they are still here in the PBA, thouhgh they don't have the same fate.
Speaking of injuries, that really is a big problem for the success of a player, look JMF, he is still out and with the recent report we read, he may not be able to come back early this season because there's a little problem.
