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 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.

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

TNT is back in action, now playing with its sister team which is the Meralco Bolts. So far, looking good for both teams as the game is close but there's still plenty of time they are only in the 2nd quarter. My bet here goes to the Meralco Bolts as I don't like what I saw on the last game of TNT, so I'm hoping that Meralco will win and cover. The spread was only +1.5 for Meralco but I took the moneyline.

Looking at the score, Pogoy is still leading the scoring and followed by Oftana, the same pattern last game hopefully the same result.

It seems that TNT still leading after 2 quarters if they can hold this 2-digits lead and mantain the momentum they might win this game but like what you've said there's still enough time for Meralco to catch up and maybe possible to turn the tempo in their favor, let see if how these
game will ends up, I like to see competition even it's a sister team who are playing against each other.

Both teams needs every wins that they can take while still in the early season of the league, possible to catch for the 2nd round and manage to work things out to reach the finals.

It was a close game, either team could win because Meralco was able to mount a comeback, unfortunately they fell short in the end resulting to TNT winning by 2 points only. Meralco actually had a chance to win if that 3 point shot sink in, but it didn't so TNT is lucky to have a win after a very disappointing performance vs the Northport.

Meanwhile, we have DYIP vs Ginebra playing. Already in the 3rd now but DYIP is still leading the game, not sure if Ginebra could cover the spread if they will win, it was -9.5 before the game, so they need to have a strong run if they want to win by double digit.

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, 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.

It's only -2.5 live now, this looks like Ginebra won't be able to win here. Two losing streak is bad but they really miss Thompson who has turned himself a good point guard and a good defender as well. Normally, 4th quarter is where Ginebra loves to have a run, let's see if it's gonna happen. I'm happy by the way seeing Tenorio being healthy again and he is gaining good minutes in this game.

I'm just wondering, did Tenorio already won a best player of the game since his return ?

If you get tempted to take that -2.5 live, you'll regret your decision as Ginebra could not capitalize a comeback in the 4th. C. Stand didn't comeback anymore, I heard he was injured, so they struggle a lot on where they will be getting their points.

This is just too bad for Ginebra, they loss C. Stand, Pringle with limited minutes and Thompson still hasn't return, as a result a real struggle has been experience. Also the main gunner of the team struggle big time, Ahamnissi with 6 points only and Malonzo with 10, they can't win a game like that. If they will not improve next game, they'll experience 3 losses in a row.

So after TNT got dominated the other day, now it's Magnolia who loss to the NLEX RoadWarriors in again another dominating game. Bollick still continue to remain consistent but it was Semerad who was the best player in the game who contributed 22 points.

This is looking very unpredictable now, and I'm seeing this NLEX team to be the dark horse in the playoffs. Now they are the only team who reach 5 wins, although not at the top yet since SMB own the top spot with 4-0 standing.

It's all because of Bollick, he had a better version of team now, if he didn't come back in the Philippines, NLEX would have the same struggle they have in the previous season. I like that they are so comfortable with their respective rules now, they played great defense and they don't hesitate to shoot, good thing they have Bollick who can attack and destroy the defense of their opponents. Attack, pass to the open man and shoot without hesitation, that hasn't been their play, and it's been working. For the NLEX to lose, Bollick should be limited, but thus far, no team has even done that as they are already in a winning streak.

This is his best season so far, hopefully he'll stay with NLEX as it would be disappointing to the fans if he'll sign with the Giant teams. I mean, we are hoping to see more balance in the current PBA league, so if they'll take Bollick out, that will make NLEX a bad team, like a farm team, we don't want to see that happen. However, if a trade is really inevitable, most likely Bollick will be traded to TNT which I think will make TNT a championship team again.

That cannot be assured as TNT are trying to get back to the championship level again. As a fan, I would love to see MP vs Cojuangco team facing in the Finals, that way it looks more legit as they would not agree to manipulate the outcome unlike with teams that are sister teams. It's not proven but speculations do exist and sometimes it looks convincing so personally it cast doubt to my mind already.

Bollick has only played less than a year since his return to the PBA, so maybe more time before he will leave NLEX, but as for now, we are enjoying what we are seeing because this is quite unusual for a team that aren't a championship caliber.

In terms of competition I would also like to see Bollick playing with TNT as the chance of entering the finals and competing against SMC corp will be more interesting, same with your opinion with sister companies competing in the finals, we can't remove the fact that viewers will have that assumption that the game might be manipulated.

Not good for the bettors I guess if both sister teams are competing for the finals, I see Bollick can bring decent numbers to help Poguy and Oftana, his possible addition might give them decent chance to reach the finals.

It's good for the TNT and they should make him the leader of the team so he can play whatever he wants. And since their coach is Chot Reyes, the style of Bollick could fit to the team since Bollick could score on his own, could penetrate and just do amazing things to disrupt the defense of the opposing team.We already talk it here, so we will not be suprise if our speculation will happen in the future as we know how PBA works, the big bosses gets what they want and TNT is one of them.

That cannot be assured as TNT are trying to get back to the championship level again. As a fan, I would love to see MP vs Cojuangco team facing in the Finals, that way it looks more legit as they would not agree to manipulate the outcome unlike with teams that are sister teams. It's not proven but speculations do exist and sometimes it looks convincing so personally it cast doubt to my mind already.

Bollick has only played less than a year since his return to the PBA, so maybe more time before he will leave NLEX, but as for now, we are enjoying what we are seeing because this is quite unusual for a team that aren't a championship caliber.

In terms of competition I would also like to see Bollick playing with TNT as the chance of entering the finals and competing against SMC corp will be more interesting, same with your opinion with sister companies competing in the finals, we can't remove the fact that viewers will have that assumption that the game might be manipulated.

Not good for the bettors I guess if both sister teams are competing for the finals, I see Bollick can bring decent numbers to help Poguy and Oftana, his possible addition might give them decent chance to reach the finals.

So after TNT got dominated the other day, now it's Magnolia who loss to the NLEX RoadWarriors in again another dominating game. Bollick still continue to remain consistent but it was Semerad who was the best player in the game who contributed 22 points.

This is looking very unpredictable now, and I'm seeing this NLEX team to be the dark horse in the playoffs. Now they are the only team who reach 5 wins, although not at the top yet since SMB own the top spot with 4-0 standing.

It's all because of Bollick, he had a better version of team now, if he didn't come back in the Philippines, NLEX would have the same struggle they have in the previous season. I like that they are so comfortable with their respective rules now, they played great defense and they don't hesitate to shoot, good thing they have Bollick who can attack and destroy the defense of their opponents. Attack, pass to the open man and shoot without hesitation, that hasn't been their play, and it's been working. For the NLEX to lose, Bollick should be limited, but thus far, no team has even done that as they are already in a winning streak.

This is his best season so far, hopefully he'll stay with NLEX as it would be disappointing to the fans if he'll sign with the Giant teams.

A better chance for NLEX to be back in the Semis, and I’d hope they continue their momentum so we can see a difference scenario in the semis. NLEX is getting better and better, a team chemistry really helps a lot and beating Magnolia and TNT was a good indication of having a good system, not just their key players but the whole team deliver the good to get the win.
