The PBA has already recognized that the young good talents doesn't want to get into PBA. Kevin Quiambao, one of the best prospects for this generation have already signed a deal with the KBL. He'll earn a lot while playing for that league. And this will also give another idea to the young aspiring basketball professionals that instead of going in the PBA, they should find somewhere else that they will pay them better than of our local league.
That said, while I’m happy with their performance, I’m not too happy with my bets. I took the bait and bet on SMB -3.5, and I also lost on the team total points with SMB over 108.5. Tough night for me.
That loss was mainly due to SMB's lack of defense. They struggled to defend NLEX's 3 point shooting, which was the key reason NLEX was able to make a comeback. I think they should give Rosales more minutes instead of Tiongson because Tiongson lacks defensive skills and is too predictable.
Sorry for your loss , just bounce back next time!
Yup, especially in the 2nd half where NLEX managed to bounce back and cut that early lead during the first half, they continue to outscored the Beermen and complete that coming from behind win from the heavy powerhouse SMB, I agree with what you've said better to give more minutes to Rosales as he's a 2-way player, he can shoot and give a tough defense, though SMB might be allowing Tiongson to be more familiar with how the system works and how he needs to adjust to fit himself.
Just like how regular gambler needs to do, move forward and look for good game to place your bets..Good luck Kabayan!

What a game by NLEX.. it was a come from behind win... they were down by as much as 19 points but ended up winning by 5. Bolick was absolutely the hero of the game. He struggled a bit in the first half with a few turnovers, but he exploded in the second half, hitting 2 3 pointers and even 2 4 point shot. This guy is truly a superstar, and he’s made NLEX a much better team.

It’s unusual that there’s no game today. Saturday and Sunday are usually game days. But anyway, the good news is that we have games tomorrow!
According to the schedule, we’ll see:
[1] TNT vs. Northport
[2] NLEX vs. SMB
These are great matchups, especially for TNT, who lost their first game this conference. I’m thinking they’ll come back strong and beat Northport.
Let’s see.... For the betting market, it's not yet available in my bookie now, I will update tomorrow.

Bolts -12.5 @1.87
This is getting really close, Meralco had a huge run in the 3rd quarter, and if they keep that momentum in the 4th, it’s likely to hit. With the high spread, it usually works out since it’s often undervalued, especially against a struggling team like DYIP. Let’s hope they pull through so you can cash in and go all in on the next game.
Unfortunately DYIP managed to stay behind outscoring Meralco in the final quarter, "bawi na lang ulit kabayan" not sure but most of the time last quarter dominating team continue to rally and make a blow out but this time the handicap got covered and those who take side for the underdog in terms of handicap manage to escape and cashout the win.
Second game, still close TNT needs to work harder not to let the visiting team to dominate them in this 2nd half, still far and still have time for gamblers to bet, good luck!
2nd game is a thriller, Eastern vs. TNT. So far, Eastern is holding their own, leading in the first quarter. I’m really hoping TNT steps up their defense soon, or my bet on the under 199 is at risk. With the same import, TNT's system should stay consistent, and last season, they were excellent at holding opponents under 100 points, especially during their championship run. Let’s hope they'll still have that defensive form and keep this game tight.
update ---
Won my bet as the total is only 189, but it was a different story, I thought TNT will make their opponent to score less than 100 but it happened to them.
Another strong win by Eastern, all 3 wins are in double digit, and one reason is because young is back in action.

I really thought there were games today, turns out it’s tomorrow. Last time, there weren’t any Thursday breaks, if I remember correctly. But checking the schedule now, it looks like we’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
For the games, it’s Bolts vs. DYIP in the first matchup, and then Eastern takes on TNT. I think Eastern is in for their second loss, knowing how strong TNT is, especially on defense. If Eastern struggled last time, they’ll have an even tougher time against a better defensive team like TNT. Looks like a tough day ahead for Eastern.

Odds are out for the Meralco vs Terrafirma game but nothing on the second game, it would be the second time that bookies will not cover the Hong Kong Eastern game.
As expected, the Bolts is the huge favorite going into this game with a -12.5 handicap. DYIP will be parading a replacement import but per report he is only 6'6 which means that he will on the disadvantage when guarding the import of the Bolts so i will be rooting for the Bolts to win this one.
My bet:
Bolts -12.5 @1.87
For now, I still believe TNT is the best team. Their import might be undersized, but their improved defense and excellent 3-point shooting remain their strong weapon. And, coming off a championship win last conference, they’re likely playing with sky-high confidence. It’s going to be interesting to see if Eastern can give a good challenge on the defending champ.
We’ll see that tomorrow. TNT beat Ginebra in the finals, and Ginebra defeated Bay Area (or Eastern) years ago, so they must really be the strongest team right now. With RHJ still as their import, they have the advantage of familiarity, making them even more dangerous the longer he stays.I tried checking the betting odds but couldn’t find anything for this particular game yet. However, for the first game, there was already a line with Meralco being favored by 10 points.

Thanks for the update! The first game doesn’t sound too exciting, but the TNT vs. Eastern matchup is definitely one to watch. I just hope Eastern can play at full strength so we can truly see how TNT handles them.For now, I still believe TNT is the best team.

My bet for today:
Magnolia -4.5 @1.85
Magnolia -4.5 @1.85
Magnolia came up short in this game despite their efforts to mount a comeback. It seems their import had some issues, as his performance was very limited. In their last game, I think he had shoulder problems and missed a lot of free-throw attempts. On the other hand, Eastern finally tasted defeat against ROS in the second game. ROS brought in a new import who seems to fit well with their system, he’s not overly ball-dominant, which complements their style of play.
Yup, I did not watch the game but I do check the score and I was in the impression that Mags will push the game and win after that rally back during the 3rd quarter but like what you just mentioned they fell short as NP manage to bounce back and outscored them in the final set, hopefully Mags import will recover if he's having some issue with his physical condition.
By the way, I won on this game. I bet on the under 220 live, even after that high-scoring first half, and it paid off.
So that's the reason why ROS is the favorite as I check the odd before the game ML for ROS is @1.55, congrats to those who take this as they win the game and gave that first loss for the guest team.
one of the players of the Eastern were not able to play, I heard he had a problem with his passport, that guy was Lam I guess.

Congrats @bisdak40, that's a winner since NLEX won by 19 points... I thought it would be more competitive since they started with an import, but then they decided to bench him, and surprisingly, their scoring actually improved. This is the second game where Manuel has led the team, it's like the old man has come back to life, lol. For the next game, I'm leaning towards betting on the over. I don’t want to bet against you since I think SMB will win.
Congrats kabayang bisdak both picks are good NLEX covered the handicap same with Phoenix, a very close game till the end, SMB managed to escape and win it but they didn't covered the handicap not sure but Phoenix played well to keep that distance almost win the game but SMB rally back in the final quarter and managed to escape this close game, congrats again kabayan!Thanks kabayan, naka-tsamba lol. In the first game i took the high handicap for NLEX since i thought that Terrafirma would play without an import but they parade a new import, Richards is the name i think but unfortunately for Terrafirma, he played like a local hehe, scoring only 5 points and he kept on shooting from the outside, didn't use his height to muscle his way in the paint.
In the second game i thought that SMB will still be rusty playing so i took Phoenix.

Good start so far, both teams are shooting well, and the game's running at a fast pace. Looks like you’ve got a solid shot at hitting your over. As for me, I’m on SMB’s total over 114.5. Just hoping it stays close so we can get that foul game action in the final stretch. Oh, and by the way, almost forgot to mention, the DYIP point guard is now playing with SMB. Let’s see if he makes an impact with his new squad!

NLEX -11.5 @1.85
DYIP has already brought in an import, but it seems like the same old story, no real improvement. Meanwhile, NLEX is dominating with a 12-point lead. Given DYIP's record so far, the high spread makes sense; it looks like they're headed for another blowout loss.
Phoenix +9.5 @1.85[/b]
High handicap, what could be the reason for this? I'm wondering who the current import for SMB is. I like your pick, and I wouldn't be surprised if SMB comes out rusty in their first game. With that said, considering the moneyline might also be worth it. Jump to:
