PBA Betting and Discussion Thread

End of the first of this exciting game 6 of the PBA Finals with Magnolia holding that 5-point lead with the score of 51-46. As I posted the other day if the Beermen would close out this series they need to duplicate the output of Jericho Cruz in the last game but tonight he has yet to score. Benie Boatwright is heavily defended in the first two quarters so they have to free him up by hitting the outside shots so that the Hotshots would be forced to not double him every time he got the ball.

I have my bet on Magnolia here and so far it looks good, just hoping that the intensity of Magnolia will continue in the second half.

Lost bet but it is what it is. I thought they were going to force a game 7 but SMB's defensive stops in the last quarter allowed them to turn it around. I think Magnolia made too many mistakes (Abueva in particular).

Yeah, that turnover by Magnolia in the dying minutes of the game really did the damage for them. I though that was money in the bag for Magnolia and we can see a game 7 but CJ Perez and Cruz's timely basket were lethal for Magnolia.

BTW, thanks for commenting on this thread @Zed0X.

Opening day once again for the PBA and we have two games for today and these are may bets.

Meralco Bolts -11.5 @1.80 vs Blackwater Bossings
TNT Tropang Giga -7.5 @1.85 vs ROS Elasto Painters

All-Filipino cup so i will go for the favorites for tonight as no import that could impact the game that makes it unpredictable.

Have not betting in the games of the PBA for the last two days as I'm on out-of-town, this means that I have not won a game yet in this conference.

NLEX Road Warriors -4.5 @1.89 vs Dyip
NorthPort Batang Pier -4.5 @1.84 vs Converge

Though most of the games have been won by the underdogs or the favorites failed to cover the spread but i'm still going for the favorites today and hoping they will win and cover the spread.

I tried to bet on this game just for fun. I put Converge to win the game, and at the same time, I also bet on them with a +5.5 spread.

At the end of the 3rd quarter, they had a double-digit lead coming into the 4th quarter, and I thought they will gonna win the game already so I didn't watch anymore. When I re-visit their website, I saw the game tied with a few seconds remaining. I was like "WTF!!!" when I saw it. I really thought that I was gonna win on it already.

Well, we know what happened after that. It went to overtime, and in the end, NorthPort won the game. I don't know what happened on that 4th quarter because I'm kind of bored already, but... I guess I'll just move on. Anyway, anybody here who can count the number of people watching games?

I did not watch that game live but just monitor the score, if that game doesn't go to overtime, you might have won your one bet, the one with the spread. I also though that i will lost that game also but fortunately for me, the game went into overtime and NorthPort did covered the spread.

About the game/crowd attendance, i think that issue won't improve and most likely it will get worse. The only games that people might watch are the out-of-town games.

As usual we have two games for today:

Blackwater -3.5 @1.88 vs Converge - Will go for the Bossings for tonight's game as they are inspired with their recent wins and their moral is high, Troy Rosario and James Yap showed the youth on how it is done to win games.

NLEX +6.5 @1.89 vs Meralco - will go for the underdog in this game.

1 win - 3 losses, not good so far but i hope this will improve in the coming days.

Last night's result:

1st game:
Blackwater - 90
Converge - 78

2nd game:
NLEX - 99
Meralco - 96

Have won my two bets last night fortunately hehe. One thing i observe with the Converge team, i think they are tanking, preparing the upcoming PBA draft as rumors has it that Justin Baltazar will join the draft and Converge is targeting him to be their pick if ever they get the number 1 pick lottery.

[bisdak40]

As usual we had two games for tonight.

1st game:
Phoenix vs NorthPort

2nd game:
Ginebra vs ROS

Unfortunately, my local bookies only covers the first game.

Phoenix -3.5 @2.02 vs NorthPort - Though NorthPort won their last game but i think Phoenix is too much for them.

[bisdak40]

Only one game for tonight:

NLEX -6.5 @1.86 vs Converge

Like what i have said before, Converge looks like they are tanking for the incoming PBA draft so the possibility of yet another loss is inevitable.

3 wins - 4 loses, my standings thus far.

[bisdak40]

Games for today:

1st game:
NLEX -2.5 @2.02 vs Blackwater - The Bossings will probably play hard today to extend their winning streak but Robert Bolick of NLEX might spoil their run.

2nd game:
Phoenix -3.5 @1.87 vs DYIP - Will go for Phoenix in this game, risky but i think the Fuelmaster could beat Dyip.

4Wins - 4Loses - my standings so far.

[bisdak40]

Results from last night's game.

1st game:
NLEX - 103
Blackwater - 97

2nd game:
Phoenix - 94
DYIP - 78

Robert Bolick led the way for the NLEX Road Warriors with his 21 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists while getting a lot of support from his team mates.

Have won my 2 bets and my standinds goes up to 6Wins and 4Losses.

[bisdak40]

Games for tonight:

1st game:
Blackwater vs Dyip

2nd game:
Magnolia vs Converge

Blackwater & over 188.5 @2.70 - my bet for the 1st game, don't know why the bookies didn't poy an ML odds for these games today but that bet is fine with me.

6Wins - 4Loses my standings

edit:

Blackwater lost the game against Dyip via that clutch 3 points by Tiongson while Magnolia Hotshots blew out Converge in the second game.

[bisdak40]

Games for tonight:

1st game:
Phoenix vs Rain or Shine

2nd game:
SMB Beermen vs TNT Katropa

I will only bet on the second game as my local bookies didn't cover the first game.

SMB -6.5 @1.87 vs TNT - Katropa is shorthanded as some of their key players are still on nursing bay so a bet for the Beermen is the way to go, at leasy for me.

6Wins - 5Loses, standing thus far.
