2 games will be happening today.
Converge vs Phoenix and Ginebra vs Bossing

The first game look so easy that we can make easy money here. Converge is now domoralize, they are not winning game so it will continue.

As per the bookie market, Phoenix is only -6.5 which should be a steal since Converge have lost double digits againts strong team like ROS and Magnolia. Also, I'm betting on the TT with under 94.5 for Converge.

With a demoralize squad I also think that those who take this handicap for Phoenix will have a good edge winning their pick, though we really can't tell if how they will take the win, but from those current outcomes against stronger teams Converge is not playing with a competitive stats, they are just playing for the said schedule but winning mentalities is no longer present as they don't have any chance to move forward for the next round.

It's just how Phoenix will win this game hopefully they will secure it with a double digit lead for the sake of those who bet for them, though it's PBA and gambling is always have a big factors on how it's going to end, just saying!

Not the way I expected, Phoenix able to have a good lead but in the end, they only won by 6 points, I still loss my bet. On the TT, it was a clear over for converge as they scored a total of 107 points, way too much on the line offered by our sportsbook. It's really unpredictable, when a team that we choose win the game but there's a spread that didn't cover.

On the 2nd game, I was also able to put a bet but on the bigger odds like x4 predicting Ginebra to win by 1-5 points, but looking at the score now, that seemed not happening anymore as Ginebra is already having a very comfortable lead.

Magnolia on the other hand seemed to have struggled in the past few games although they won their last game, but probably there's still some missing factor that they need to fill, hopefully Jerrick Balanza will be the answer.

Some of the teams like Magnolia, TNT, and Ginebra have struggled this conference, they are called as a championship team but this time they look different. We can't tell if the team have a problem or the weaker teams just suddenly improve, but this action of the Magnolia hotshots tells us that there's some problem in the team that they need to correct.

If we look at the team, the leaders are already old, they probably have pass their prime as they are not the same anymore in terms of production. Paul Lee who is a sniper was even struggling in the past few games, Barroca as well. That's why we can't blame the fans for calling them introboys because they get into the Finals but they loss most of the time.

Agree to that, they are no longer on their primes, though they can still play ball but skills wise that's not the same anymore especially with their speeds, they need to adjust and if possible bring some fresh legs who can provide the aid that they needed, it's sad to say but that's what we are seeing, they can go to the finals but can't win a title, and in this season they are struggling and they needed a better adjustment which they must be doing now while they still can turn things around.

PBA: Magnolia gets Jerrick Balanza in trade with Converge as Hotshots make playoff push

Quote

Magnolia improved its guard rotation for the remainder of the PBA Season 48 Philippine Cup with the arrival of Jerrick Balanza from Converge.

Converge's Jerrick Balanza will now don Magnolia’s colors as the team looks for a big boost after a rocky start to the PBA Season 48 Philippine Cup.

The FiberXers shipped Balanza to the franchise in a move that was announced by the league on Thursday, April 11.

Converge, which has yet to come up with a win in six games, will receive the Hotshots' second round pick in next season’s draft.

Good trade since Converge is already done, they are still winless but Magnolia have some struggle so adding another big man in the name of Jerrick Balanza will probably help on their size. Though not so tall but he could use his size to score inside. Honestly, I'm not so familiar with him since his team are not popular but I'm sure he'll improve with Magnolia.

If we compare this to the NBA, converge is like a team that are trying to rebuild, so they are trading their players to get the top picks, a rookie pick. I think converge will need more season to improve this team, but as long as they can't afford to sign a all star caliber player, they'll remain at the bottom, This team was only good because it was the Alaska line up that was acquired, but eventually they slowly gave up their starters and this is the result of the decision, it's a bad decision after all.

Magnolia on the other hand seemed to have struggled in the past few games although they won their last game, but probably there's still some missing factor that they need to fill, hopefully Jerrick Balanza will be the answer.

Going on with PBA anniversary and giving tickets, it doesn't seem to work and every Filipino fans are already aware of what's going to happen when we see the big three teams that are part of the playoffs or semis. If you guys will rotate with PBA posts and topics posted on social media, you'd see people are just giving them a 'haha' reaction because it doesn't make sense anymore for them to retrieve the trust of the fans watching the live games. Yes, there are now telecasts through livestreams but still, look at the other sports that have been loved by the fans. Despite that, watching live games are still giving a different experience but not anymore with PBA. Most of the comments that I've seen were that they want Kume to be replaced by another one to give PBA another taste to the fans and make it alive more if he's been replaced.

Why would people still watch if they know what team will win. It's too late for them, their action on giving tickets is good but it will not work anymore. Just imagine, you have to go through the long traffic just to get to the arena, although that's free but it's not fun to watch anymore. Me, I would just watch my TV since I'm subscribe to Pilipinas Live, so I can also watch anywhere online.

If they will not stop that farm team and monopoly inside, they will never improve.

I think they should be thinking of revamping the PBA by adding more teams, for sure the excitement will grow and people will start putting their interest back.

With sister teams competing there's always rumors that the game will be controlled, we can't remove that assumption as we keep seeing how the league is being practice, either SMC or MVP will win the title and those who are on lower ranks will continue to serve as farm teams, though they are trying to hype the league back giving those low ranks team an exposures showing that they can beat good teams, but I guess that's already late as the trust of most fans is no longer interested with how the games being played.

I'm waiting for MPBL to earn more advertisers and big companies trust, if that happened they will be able to pay big names from PBA and switch them to play with their respectives cities/provinces.

It will be a real competitions for PBA and for sure with how the fans embracing MPBL with additional talents the entertainment and excitement from each provinces and cities that they'll be heading will be jampack!

SMB beat them but DYIP still manage to cover the handicap. It was -9.5, the same with Ginebra but in the end, SMB only won by 3 points. So backing the weak teams that suddenly got better makes it easier for us to win. I also thought that SMB are gonna dominate them but it seems they have really improve because even the SMB are having a hard time beating them, and SMB have to rally in order to do that.

I thought SMB are gonna cover the spread but DYIP have keep their momentum, they just loss in the end because SMB are good in closing the game with a win. Anyway, moving forward to the 2nd game, I knew I should not trust the Magnolia here because currently Northport are leading the game. Though Magnolia needs to win but they have to play harded and make the right adjustment to beat the Northport.

NP is currently 4-1, on a 4 winning streak so they are so hot that Magnolia should not underestimate despite their bad record in the past.

On games tomorrow, we have the following betting spread.

1st- SMB vs DYIP... SMB is favored by -9.5
2nd - Hotshots vs Batang Pier ... Hotshots is slightly favored by -2.5

How do we see this game? I think SMB is still the most dominant team now but can they cover this high betting spread? DYIP just recently beat the Ginebra, and now they are playing against SMB ^{(currently number 1 in ranking).}

2nd game, I don't trust the Hotshots much, I think this will be Batang Pier winning.

With the previous games of DYIP they've lost 3 times and only Phoenix manage to beat them with double digit leads, while the game agaisnt TNT and Bolts they only short in time trying to catch up, losing with only 3 points deficit, though we can't used it as basis since SMB still on top and with huge numbers of players who can spark up and lead the team, it's also possible that they can cover that spread.

It's a matter of how good you think the performance of the heavy favorite and how you feel about the trending outcomes of the game, I mean those underdogs are performing it might be a trapped. Good luck to everyone!

Unexpected things is happening, LOL.. DYIP is at it again, they started strong having a lead of 12 points over SMB. Though it's still early but this is the same scenario we witness during their previous game. What happen to DYIP, they seemed to become a differnet team and now they are dominating the number 1 team in the PBA now.

45-54 (halftime score), DYIP is still leading.

SMB beat them but DYIP still manage to cover the handicap. It was -9.5, the same with Ginebra but in the end, SMB only won by 3 points.

SMB vs DYIP ( not an upset for sure..again)

They can't be lucky twice, but I'm concern on the spread of the game as for sure bookies will still make them a heavy underdog which could lead to a trap. The game vs Ginebra, it was -9.5, so against SMB who are still undefeated, that might be -11.5 or more, and when I see that kind of line, I would be betting on DYIP to cover, just to cover as I don't believe they can beat the SMB, unless they are too lucky.

We can't really predict the game easily, it has been tough nowadays in PBA as underdog keeps winning and since most of us really focus on the favorites thinking these farm teams will continue to tank, that is killing our bankroll, maybe we can change that kind of perception a bit.

Indeed, there's a unimagine basis on how bookies are bringing the handicap which most of the time leads gamblers to a misleading assumptions, though SMB might be too much and if ever that they will win this game probably if basing with the current stats they can underman the DYIP in all aspects, though that's also same with how Gin kings got but they've lost the game, again, tough call but risk needed to take when aiming for a better odds if you a fan of SMB.

Going to watch the live games and see if DYIP will perform chance that the odd will be change might give me a much better assessment, good luck to those who already place their bets.

That's a great strategy, we have to wait and see, if the DYIP are playing well then we can go and bet on them by taking the handicap. For sure we can still find a high handicap since in the pre game, spread will likely be +10, so +5 to +8 is still good as long as they are playing to compete.

I believe that DYIP now is very confident as they recently beat the Ginebra which is one of the top teams, this young team are playing like they aren't losing anything so the chemistry are improving. I can't wait for this, hopefully our expectations are not wrong.

We are not sure yet, maybe this young team are gonna slay the SMB teams. It's not impossible my friend, they have been working hard to win because of their bad past seasons, now that they started winning, we are still underestimating them. If you believe they'll lose and you bet on SMB with the spread, good luck to you mate.

Quote from: Distinctin on April 08, 2024, 03:41:12 AM

How about the total? I'm thinking of betting on the over....

I like the over also, both teams love to shoot 3's and DYIP has been shooting pretty well, so we might witness a 3 point shootout.

Yeah, good thing that TNT managed to have that good lead during the first half, even Meralco rallied back they fell short and TNT escaped that game, good for those who entrusted their bets for TNT they take this game,

That was a close one, TNT just executed well in the 4th and does not allow the Meralco to beat them. It's the kind of game we like to see, a very close one as it makes us excited to watch, hopefully we will see more of that in the succeeding games. Now, they are on break, they'll be back on Wednesday.

As per schedule. we have

while with the 2nd game gin kings losses the game against the DYIP that's an upset from the underdog I was in the impressions that DYIP was just a simple hypes but beating TNT and Ginebra is something good improvement for this franchise, let see if they can continue this improvements.

This was an upset but we can understand that since Ginebra is playing undermanned, and I'm not sure what happen why they bench C. Stand in the 4th. I read an article that he wasn't injured, Gin Kings just trying to make an experiment and that cost them a game, not sure what the plan was.. Grin
