You are right, you never bet against the Ginebra in a Sunday game as usually, they will win, either from a strong come back or a dominant win. I still remember when they have a strong comeback after trailing a double-digit points against the SMB, I was discourage that time because I though SMB would already get the win.
This is my mistake, even though I am a Ginebra fan, I bet on TNT that game because I thought that TNT will force a win against Ginebra. They almost did it though. Lesson learned, never bet against BGSM on a Sunday. I lost both bets this Sunday. First with Converge and then on TNT. It is just not my day. The round-robin is almost over. There are only 12 remaining games before the playoffs begin. I guess the Bay Area Dragons are secured of their top spot and twice-to-beat advantage. Since Ginebra won the game against TNT, they bumped up to the third spot in the rankings. They have a chance to snatch the #2 spot from Magnolia if they win most of their remaining games. |

LeBron may not be what he used to be, but I still think he's king. Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers are standing with Anthony Davis in the last 3 games in his absence, but he will be more effective when he comes back. They had a three-game winning streak and now they have an away streak to play. If they manage to win in these matches, they will have a chance to play off, but it is very difficult to talk about the championship.
It is odd though that he is the king but his team is winning more now that he is out. They have beaten Nets, Pistons, and Spurs. They have better ball movement and the team plays better overall. If the Lakers will win against the Suns without Lebron, that will say a lot about his capability and leadership in the team. They may even say he is becoming a liability since he is just chasing stats right now.
Dallas Mavericks VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 97 - 98 - LOST
The only lost I attain, it is good that I didn't go with the Parley, and just went on with the regular bet, and go with the teams I think will win, Luca Doncic was stopped with just 22 points, while the Denver Nuggets even though they didn't have Nikla Jocic, DeAndre Jordan got 17 rebounds, while Nah'Shon Hyland got 29 points, winning the game, and I really did not expect the Denver to win at all,
It is good that you did not go for a parlay. This game messed up my parlay and just with 1 point as well. It is a sad lost by Mavs. I really thought that the Mavs will be able to seal this up since they are ahead when I last checked the score. I guess the Nuggets do not want to lose back-to-back. |

I know that there are a lot of controversies surrounding the Nets with the Irving drama, but report says that he is back against the Memphis so this is the first time that I will be backing them up at -7.5. Ja Morant is in question in tonight's game.
I read also in NBC sports that he has completed all requirements and is now cleared to play against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Brooklyn Nets finished 5-3 in the games that Kyrie Irving is out because of the tweet. They have become a better defender when Irving was out, but their offense has become unstable. With the return of Irving, he will stabilize the offense with how great he is at creating shots, but they will sacrifice defense. But I guess, since Ben Simmons is showing some life again after a long time, maybe he could be the anchor of the defense. This game will be interesting to watch since there are many factors that could make or break the Brooklyn Nets. Goodluck with your bet. |

It looks like it as I also saw this leak mentioned on Reddit and this was their potential roster on Blacklist. That's possible if that's going to be the line up roster for that upcoming new team, Blacklist Dota 2 that has acquired Resurgence(RGS) slot for the qualifiers. It makes me wonder if this would be announced as the official, who could be the position 5? But then I remember that there's one that have the experience and an ex-teammate of kuku and raven and that's eyyou. This lineup still needs a captain and a coach. We know that Kuku said that they need a better captain, so I guess he will not be the captain of this team. Eyyou is a coach and a support but I guess he can be a good captain as well. So, all they need now is a good coach. I do not have an idea who can coach them since they want this team to be an all Filipino team, a Filipino redeem team. I guess we have to watch and wait how this lineup will turn out after the roster lock. |

Here are my picks for today's game: Sacramento Kings vs Detriot Pistons The Detriot Piston (3-14) will try their luck against the Sacramento Kings (8-6) today at Golden 1 Center. They will try to end their 6 games losing streak against the Kings. The Detriot Piston is underdog @5.8 while the Kings are favorite @1.16. Dallas Mavericks Vs Denver Nuggets Dallas Mavericks (9-6) will have the second part of their mini-series against the Denver Nuggets (9-6) today. The nuggets will still play without their star center Nikola Jokic. They are the underdog @4.50 while the Mavs are favorite to win the game @1.22. Cleveland Cavaliers vs Miami Heat The Miami Heat (7-9) will miss their main man, Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro when they go against the Cleveland Cavaliers (9-6) tonight. Bam Adebayo is still questionable because of a knee injury. Cleveland Cavaliers will be playing without Kevin Love and Dean Wade. The Cavs are favored to win @1.20 while the Heat are underdog @4.80.  |

Yes, that three is now making a killing in Utah, I thought that Clarkson will be traded as well, but it seems he settled down very quick as the go to guy for the Jazz. And with the acquisition of Lauri Markkanen, they have turned into a great contender. But we will have to wait, the old Jazz team choke in the playoff, so we will see if the same will happen with the Jordan Clarkson lead Utah Jazz now. Hope that Lilard will come back, don't what to see him down again with the same injury.
I do not know if their lack of superstars will be a problem in the playoffs. They are unpredictable right now in the regular season. But it will be different when the post season is on. They will be playing in series so the opponent team have 7 games to crack down their defense and limit their offense. Usually, the superstars are important in these games since they are the go to guy whenever a team got stuck in offense. Is Jordan Clarkson ready for that role? Even if they lose or make an early exit in the playoffs, they already achieved so much as a rebuilding team. It is scary. If this is a rebuilding team, guess how strong they can be if they are a contender team with legit superstars in their roster. There is a recovery in Los Angeles Lakers, they closed their last 2 games with a win. He will play San Antonio on November 21 and I think he will beat the formless San Antonio as well.
If they win against the Spurs, they will have a winning streak which is a first this season. And doing that without Lebron in the game. The best season for Clarkson so far, in that game, he took over in the 4th quarter to give the Jazz a comfortable lead, it looks like he already is the main man of the team, the previous 6th man of the year will likely become an all star this season. Their chemistry is really impressive, you can tell by looking at the scores distribution, I mean everyone is contributing on the floor.
I guess the lack of a superstar is working great for the Jazz. Since there is no superstar that hogs the ball, they all get touches and a chance to contribute to a win. That is great basketball. In this scenario, the coach should get a credit as well since he brings out the best on his team even when they are on a rebuilding process. |

Here is my bet for today's games: Northport Batang Pier vs Converge FiberxersSince Magnolia lost against the Dragons yesterday, Converge is now tied with them at 8-2. They will want to win this game in order to clinch the top 2 and a twice-to-beat advantage in playoffs. They are in a roll win 7 wins streak and looking to extend it to 8 against the Batang Pier. TNT Katropa vs BGSM Though I am a fan of Barangay Ginebra, I think TNT needs the win here more than Ginebra. TNT needs all the wins they can get since they are currently still out of the top 8 and tied with San Miguel and Meralco. They will be in a better position if they will beat Ginebra in this game. So, I know that they will give it all to win this one.  |

Dwight was definitely having a time. He shot 10 3s!!! He finally ended his first game with 38 points to go along with 25 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 blocks. He really should still be in the NBA. He’s probably a top 10 center in the world and I think he’s been blackballed from the NBA for his off the court behavior, which is questionable for anyone not living in San Francisco, who ironically didn’t even want to give him a 1 year contract (Warriors).
That is a way to start a career abroad. He is clearly an attraction in Taiwan with the arena fully packed. He showed a stellar performance as well. He is head and shoulder above the competition in Taiwan. I do not know if he is still NBA-worthy, but if he continues to show stellar games in Taiwan, some team in NBA who needs a veteran may offer him a contract. Definitely, we still want to see Carmelo in the NBA, although he is no longer in his prime, but he can still contribute just like what he did with the Lakers last season, he had games wherein he score 20++ points.
So it really up to him, to stay and wait if there will be an offer. Still hoping though that the Knicks will give him a second chance. I thought that he will play with them this season but it didn't go. But yeah, maybe after the all star break when body has been bruises, some team might find Carmelo, and be uses as coming from the bench players.
I guess we have to wait. Just like the last time, no one picked him up early in the season. Then the Blazers offered him a 10-day contract mid of season that eventually became a one-year non-guaranteed contract. That opens up for him to play in the Lakers. He is back to a slump right now, but we know he can still attract some teams later in the season. |

So, do you know if you have a problem with gambling?
Luckily for me, I do not have the signs of a gambling addict. I am still pretty much in control of myself in respect to my gambling habits. I do not gamble too much and control the money that I used to gamble. If that money is gone, I stop. If I lose that day, I do not chase the wins. I enjoy gambling and the excitement is incredible, but I can go for weeks without gambling if my schedule does not permit to play or gamble. I also do not go out of my way just to gamble or go into debt because of gambling. Hopefully, it remains that way even though I gamble a lot lately. If gambling addiction means gambling more than your budget. If gambling addiction is borrowing to gamble even when you clearly don't have the money. If gambling addiction is feeling sick whenever you don't gamble and if gambling addiction means gambling all day long. Then I know that I am not a gambling addict.
Some signs also include : - Inability to cutback, stop or control gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety or depression
- Lying to family members or others to hide the extent of your gambling
- Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut down on gambling

Here is my bet for today. Just playing it safe with a total odd of 2.19  Philadelphia Sixers vs Minnesota TimberwolvesThe Minnesota Timberwolves (7-8) will visit the Philadelphia Sixers (8-7) at their home tonight. This will be a back-to-back game of the Sixers and they will be missing the service of some of their main guns, Harden and Maxey. Joel Embiid will have to carry the load. Though he performed like a monster in yesterday's game against the Buck, I doubt he will be able to repeat that again tonight against KAT and Rudy Gobert. Minnesota is favored @1.75 and Philadelphia Sixers @2.28. Los Angeles Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs The Los Angeles Clippers (9-7) will host the San Antonio Spurs (6-10) at Crypto.com Arena tonight. The Clippers are favorite @1.25 while the Spurs are @4.10. Kawhi is back in the game. He played against the Piston but with limited time. Hopefully, he will play better today. |

Congratulations on this parlay win bro! That Sixers pick is very dangerous since Bucks is on streak and very strong. I’m surprised that Giannis didn’t go beast mode to matchup Embiid aggression since he always do that when the enemy team pushes him to his limit. Your parlay will be more exciting if you add Lakers on your pick.  I am staying away from the Lakers for the meantime. The same with Brooklyn Nets. They have destroyed a lot of my parlay this season. Until I see some consistency with the Lakers and Nets, I will avoid betting on their matches.
I want to congratulate too Lakers for picking up there 2 winstreak without Lebron. Many bashers is now speculating that LBJ is really the problem of Lakers which is hilarious af.
We can't blame the fans for speculating about that. The Lakers started to come to life after Lebron was out because of injury. The ball rotation is better, the defense is better, and the offense is great. He can shut them all up after he returns from injury and the Lakers are still winning with him. |

... or they can always go back as 5 with N0tail, Ceb, and Jerax (Taiga hinted that the members of the old OG squad might return to active pro scene come 22-23 DPC season). N0tail is the only one I'm quite unsure of whether he wants to go back and compete again. The dude's chillin' and enjoyig creating vlogs and all that stuff.
Ceb also mentioned that NoTail may need the longest time away from competitive DOTA since he was doing this the longest. So, we may still not see NoTail this DPC season. But if they do decide to team up again, are they going to be the first team or the second? The current roster is performing rather really well. They won a major and a few tournaments. It would be a waste to disband them or relegate them to the second team. Topson is still top tier as we saw last TI. Ana is still good and we also saw Ceb play in stockholm. It will be a hard decision for OG management if they all decide to come back. |

SMB won but did not cover the spread. I guess Fajardo did not play, if he did, then most likely they will cover the spread. Bad pick for bettors who choose the spread of SMB as the game was a bit close and Phoenix was able to ensure covering the spread.
The current game between Magnolia vs the Dragons is quite entertaining, Magnolia will be heavily tested here.
It is a much-needed win for them. I thought that Phoenix will spoil the win of San Miguel when they reduced the lead of the Beermen to just 1 point in the last few seconds of the game. But the Beermen was confident and eager to get a win today. They made the necessary buckets and stops to secure the win against the Phoenix Fuel Masters. SMB improved to 4-5 standing. They are now tied with Meralco Bolts and TNT Tropang GIGA. SMB next game is an easier one against Terrafirma Dyip but they still need to prepare. They cannot afford going easy against them. They cannot afford an upset against them right now. |

Yes, Joel still need James Harden if they want to advance into the NBA finals as he can't single handedly carry the Sixers. It's good that Maxey has really shown improvement at a young age, and Harris should also help and be consistent as well and not choke. For sure there will be a lot battle between Giannis and Joel in the future, and maybe they will face each other in the playoffs.
Maxey will be a vital piece in their run for the championship. Hopefully, his injury earlier is not a major injury. They are starting to have a winning streak but alas, they are starting to have injuries again. Hopefully, Harden will be back soon so they can continue to win. For sure there will be a lot battle between Giannis and Joel in the future, and maybe they will face each other in the playoffs.
If they continue to win and their starting players start to be healthy, then they will probably face either the Celtics or the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals. A healthy Bucks and Celtics are the top teams in the east right now. Giannis and Jayson Tatum are in their prime right now and they are heavily carrying their respective teams. So, if the Sixers want to go to the NBA Finals, they will probably have to go through one or both of these teams depending on the rank they will finish. |

Make it 4 supports. I think Kuku should transition himself into support, he seemed behind and out-farmed in the battle of offlaners. Well, he admitted that he was not a good captain for ANA and that he was a lackluster last TI. But I do not think that transitioning to support well be the right move for him. I think, being a support is actually harder than being an offlaner or pos 1. We will see if Topson accepts any offers and stays at the SEA. The same with Ana, these 2 guys are decorated veterans and they will have a lot of offers coming to them to choose from. North America is another option after EG hinted to transfer to South America. Soniqs released all its players earlier too, this left TSM as the only top reliable team in the region.
I do not think that they would want to play in NA. In my opinion, NA is the weakest region as far as DOTA 2 is concerned. Though, it would be easier to enter TI if you are in that region since the competition is not that high. But I believe these players want to join teams that are highly competitive and are able to hold themselves against top teams in TI. Things are getting interesting in DOTA 2. It seems like we will be seeing new teams soon.
I wonder how the new teams will fair this DPC season. They are freshly formed so I do not expect too much from them. Unless they got really good players, then I am not expecting too much from them. But I will still be watching them just in case they bring something interesting in DOTA2. |

Got a win yesterday. Plan on continuing it today. Here are my picks for today's games
[...]
Philadelphia Sixers vs Milwaukee Bucks
Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets
New Orleans Pelicans vs Boston Celtics
Just want to congratulate myself for hitting my parlay for today with a total odd of 4.27 Mavs and Celtics are easy picks because of the injury concerns on the Nuggets and the good run of the Celtics. The crux was on Sixers vs Bucks because it is a tossed coin who will win in this matchup. I was concerned when Maxey was not able to play in the second half because of an injury. Fortunately, Joel Embiid went beast mode and carried all the load needed to get the win against the bucks. This is the second day that I won my parlay in NBA. I hope to continue my streak tomorrow. |

Here are my picks for today's game and actually these 4 teams right now are my favorite to win this season, any of these teams make it to the finals I would be glad,
Philadelphia 76ers VS Milwaukee Bucks
The stake odds for this game are 1.95 for the 76ers, and 1.90 for the Bucks for this game the odds are pretty much close and the Bucks could be the one that has a huge advantage on odds but right now because of Bucks injuries, Jrue Holiday is questionable, while Khris Middleton, Pat Connaughton, and Wesley Matthews can not play until Nov 21, while for 76ers has James Harden, but still, Giannis Antetokounmpo is 100% can play for the Bucks, so for me, Milwaukee Bucks will win here,
Quite a close game. Holiday is playing that makes the playing field even. Tyrese Maxey is injured but the game is still close. The sixers are on top by 5 points as this is writing with 2 minutes left in the game. This could still go anyway but the Sixers have the momentum. Joel Embiid is a monster right now, picking up the slack that Maxey and Harden have left because of their absence. Edit: Philadelphia Sixers won 110 -102 |

Got a win yesterday. Plan on continuing it today. Here are my picks for today's games  Philadelphia Sixers vs Milwaukee Bucks The Milwaukee Bucks (11-3) will visit the Philadelphia Sixers (7-7) on their homecourt today. The Bucks is favored @1.88 while the Sixers are @1.97. It is good to note that the Bucks are playing without their 2 stars Middleton and Jrue Holiday. They are undermanned right now because they are riddled with injuries. The Sixers will miss the service of James Harden this game. This game will be a battle between Giannis and Joel Embiid. Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets The Denver Nuggets (9-5) will visit the Dallas Mavericks (8-6). The Nuggets are an underdog with odds @4.3 while the Mavs are favorite @1.24. Denver Nuggets stars Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are out today because of health and safety protocols. New Orleans Pelicans vs Boston CelticsThe New Orleans Pelicans (9-6) will host the Boston Celtics (12-3) in Smoothie King Center tonight. The Pelicans odds are @2.14 and Boston Celtics @1.75. Notable injuries are Marcus Smart for the Celtics and Zion Williamson for the Pelicans. |

Finally a win for them, and that’s a huge celebration for them.
This could be the game change for them which I think still need a lot of work before they finally enter the winning column. We might still see them have some win because a lot of unexpected team are on the lower standing, that could be a golden opportunity for DYIP. The next matches will be crucial for the positioning, we are getting closer for the next round.
Terrafirma's next matches are San Miguel Beermen and Phoenix. They can still affect the standing of San Miguel if they can beat them. San Miguel right now needs every win they can get in order to get into the next round. Dyip can deny that chance if they can beat the beermen. The odds are against them beating the SMB but still, this is basketball, anything can happen.
On the other hand, looks like NLEX getting Coach Frankie Lim as their head coach isn't working as the team are now in a 5-game losing streak. They might still clinch the playoffs at the bottom 8 if they will win on their last 2 games and other teams will lose. In PBA conference, you need at least 6 wins to have a higher chance to advance to the playoffs.
That's very evident, but if you look at the rain or shine as well, they are struggling also, so probably this is just part of the transition period as the new head coach is just trying to build a system and a chemistry that would be working for the team. This is just one conference, there's still more to come, so hopefully both teams mentioned will improve. That probably is. There are only 12 games in this conference, and that is not enough to integrate a new system into your team. We will see the impact of the new coach next season. They should have plenty of time to practice, get accustomed to the new system and win with it. |

Meanwhile, in the SEA region, T1 released their 3 remaining players Ana, Topson, and Whitemon. Plenty of shake-ups in the weaker regions as teams are mounting to have better line-ups before the new DPC begins. I am also waiting if Team Spirit will remain with their current line-up after its disastrous early TI exit.
Speaking of SEA, there were some leaks about two new SEA teams for the next season as T1 sold their slot to Bleed esports (valorant org) and RSG sold their slot to Tier One Entertainment (Blacklist International). That said, Kuku and the boys will probably get picked up by one of the two orgs. Most probably Kuku will be acquired by Blacklist, given that he's a long-time friend of the org's CEO. He could easily use that as a leverage to further his interests and be in a team that has the capacity to acquire great players since they have the budget and the platform that not many new orgs in SEA has. It appears that not many orgs in the region are prioritizing Dota 2 anyway, so the options for these released players are very few. I'm also hoping that Kuku will be in Blacklist after I heard that the Tryke (CEO) announced that they will be entering the Dota 2 pro scene. Sadly Kuku will be potentially on Bleed esports with his former team mates, Topson, xepher and Whitemon. The only team member that is removed to their their former t1 team is Ana which is replaced by March. I believe kuku is given a second chance playing with this former team mates. And I think he will do better this time since he was the one who was the one mostly blamed for their loss at their qualifiers. Though it is not the final roster, There couild be a chance that Kuku be acquired by Blacklist. So Topson will remain in SEA team. I thought he will go back to EU to join a stronger team. This team has 3 support users with March, Whitemon and Xepher. Are they going to get another offlaner or carry member? Or one of the support will transition into that role? I wonder if that will be hard to transition to carry role from support. I feel bad for Ana not getting back to the team. His talent is not utilized as much as OG has utilized his talent. He needs good support that understands his game play. Hope he finds another team that could do that for him. |
