Feel bad for the Dallas Mavericks' Moneyline odds. As a hard bettor for them since then, I'm expecting decent odds in tonight's game for them since they are downed by 0-2 already but still, it was even lessened from @1.78 yesterday to @1.67 currently. Only the homecourt was changed. But in winning the conference finals and NBA champion, a big increase in their odds.

Anyhow, tonight's game is really a must-win situation for the Mavericks. It's a much worst situation if they will end up only winning one game at their home and will visit the big Chase Center with a 1-3 disadvantage.

Go Mavericks! You guys can do it.


I'm thinking the other way. Those who stepped on Miami Heat last game are all not consistent. It's only Jimmy Butler who are consistent since the start of the playoffs. But before anything else, I like to see how Mami Heat will perform next game without Jimmy Butler. Maybe, those guys that I referring to as not consistent are just allowing Butler to own the gameplay. This time with no Butler, let's see if those role players can put up the same play and production as what they did in Game 5.

Remember that the Heat almost blew their 26 points lead in that game without Jimmy Butler.

It does mean no interest regarding that. I hope so too that this thread won't be polluted by exhibition fights, especially regarding the Paul Brothers.

And technically, I don't see any connections that might possibly be connected about the chances of McGregor fighting with Canelo. If I will buy that speculation, that has a low chance to happen since after Canelo lose to Bivol, there are lots of things he needs to do first rather than fighting a UFC fighter that doesn't make sense for him.

Even if it's about money, Canelo fighting in a professional match against a real boxer compared to fighting with McGregor will give him more money. Maybe McGregor against Pacquiao is more possible to happen.

WTF Gilas. Even SMC teams in the PBA can beat team Indonesia. Coach Chot was too comfortable. I previously posted here my concern that Gilas struggles in Thailand during their first match in SEA Games which shows already what's the problem. Damn Chot, sitting out LeBron Lopez for most of the time where he's one of the good assets there to bring the ball down. The Ravena brothers seem tired already and Chot may be like these guys for real (don't take it seriously). All countries in South East Asia should be "easy" to the Gilas no matter how improved those. I used the word "easy" because it's a fact and for all the countries in the South East, we are the most basketball enthusiast.

If a team like Indonesia was able to beat them, Gilas should hope for fuck*ng changes in the squad as no way it can complete closely in the ASIAN games.

Disappointed in PH men's basketball squad. We are dominating the basketball in the South East since 1989. All of those Gold Medals that PH won in men's basketball are dominating that all wins are averaging 40+ points lead.

I previously posted here my concerns when PH struggles against Thailand. But after that, they dominated their next 3 games in a big lead until Indonesia snap the dominance for almost 3 decades.

The PH basketball squad should take that seriously. Honestly, with no offense, an SMC team in the local league, Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) can beat the Indonesian team. That's how serious the problem is in Gilas squad.

Batch 29

My pick: Dallas Mavericks +6.5

Medyo mababa ang bigay na + haha. Wala e kahit alam kong dehado Dallas Mavericks dito no choice ako kundi piliin sila. Naka-bet na ako kasi. As usual at lagi kong sinasabi, regardless kung underdog sila o hindi, Dallas Mavericks all the way na ako hanggang matapos journey nila.

The Boston Celtics bounces back as I expected in a 125-102 win on road. After losing in a big lead on Game 1, they return the favor by beating the Miami Heat in a big lead too. I really don't expect a 2-0 lead here as I know the Celtics will be different after a loss. Now that they even the series, that will serve as a reference for the Miami Heat on what things needs to do next game.

Again, when the Miami Heat loses, it's only Jimmy Butler who is consistent. The most consistent player for me in this playoff who always acquires good numbers. They are like that since the start of the playoffs.

It's not "now" I guess. I think they surpassed the Phoenix Suns' odds back when they finished the series early against the Grizzlies. A slight adjustment.

That is expected though that the Golden State Warriors will be the Favorites in the Final 4 teams right now in the Conference Finals.

The order of odds from Favorites to bottom you listed is correct as of now.


By the Dallas Mavericks, mate.

Actually, I don't have any problem with that Luka's style since that was effective throughout.

My concern is those lots of failed attempts at the rainbow area right from the 1st Quarter. Dodging the Warrior's defense isn't a problem with the Mavericks but there are lots of uncontested shots made by Luka, Brunson, Bullock, and Kleber to name a few but they can't nail those shots. In other words, almost the majority of Mavericks gunners are having their worst shooting percentage that night regardless if it was well-defended or not.

I believed they can bounce back. The series is still a long way to go. Mavericks don't have a Game 1 win yet in the whole playoffs. They always started behind.

It's actually not a "comeback".

Tiger Woods is very active in Golf events. He is not coming from a big break or what.

This thing is common in any sport. As long as these people feel they still have it, nothing wrong to compete with those rising stars. There are many examples to mention. It's just that obviously, from a big and heavy favorite, they will now be considered an underdog and expect the odds for them will be a decent one that is worth a bet.

Honestly, the majority of Filipinos already know and understand the distance between Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire. We are not ignoring the reality and facts that Inoue has all the advantages. However, it doesn't mean that Donaire can't pull an upset against the Japanese monster.

I have to disagree with you that Donaire needs to have the same determination as Pacquiao. Is that even possible to have the same level of determination as other boxers? Obviously, a big no as different boxers has a different approach and inspiration for their own career.


Naoya Inoue was sent to the hospital right away after the fight as he received heavy damage from Donaire.

The first time in his career. The first time for him to struggle in a match.

That's the reason why upset is always possible to happen.

No mate. If we have to focus on the case here in PH, the majority of those who got wrecked their lives came from rich families and mid-level. How can the poor even sustain their e-sabong activity if they don't have any source of income? No one will also lend them money since they can't show any assurance that they can pay it later on. In other words, poor people only spend less "IN TOTAL" compared to the mid-level or those who are earning average salaries here.

Those people that do have the financial capability of doing gambling are the "most" victims here, not the poor ones.

When the news came out that there will be a ban on online cockfighting, almost all cases I have seen are not on poor families. Those who got wrecked their lives sell their stuff like cars, cellphones, and properties - are they poor? No.

I don't understand the picture here. Let's make it clear.

For let's say Magsayo won this fight against Vargas but he ended up in heavy damage, does his win won't be convincing as it didn't reach your or anyone's expectations? If that's the case then we are just looking down at both boxers, first Magsayo's struggling to win and Vargas' ability that were supposed to defeat Magsayo without a problem.

You guys should understand that regardless of what these boxers went through to win, as long as they did their best, what kind of convincing do they need to do? If we saw them really fought hard then no question after all in the end.

It's like treating Magsayo's win as a joke if you or others question his way of winning like what happened against Gary Russel Jr.

Dmitry Bivol is always ready and prepared for a rematch but Canelo's advisors or even boxing analyst says that it's not a good idea to have a rematch with Bivol. We can't even see Canelo having a talk about this then it means he might understand the risks once he goes against Bivol again. I'm with the idea that Canelo's next match won't be either a rematch with Bivol or a trilogy with Canelo.

The way Canelo performed against Bivol, the result will just be repeated. We didn't see the fierce Canelo in that match because Bivol did a great job destroying the rhythm of Canelo. With that Bivol's strategy, Canelo become disappointed and didn't able to focus seriously on the fight. GGG might not be interested anymore with Canelo and will pick another good match before retiring.

I think it's just around 2 days left remaining for the event. Just correct me if I'm wrong.

It's looks like the current medal tally rankings will be the final preview of the result at the end. The different result every year is good to see here in SEA Games since it means, no teams are consistently dominating the event.

Only on those specific sports, we will see dominance but in general, there's no such thing as consistent 1st place here.

What's happening with others here? Better stop gambling, that's my advice for you. If you can't handle the stress, gambling is not for you. Gambling for fun is a sh*t if that's your only purpose why you are doing that then in return, you will be affected heavily by your losses.

To OP, you need serious medical attention as it already involved physical changes. I can't correlate what you experienced just by gambling. There are triggering those changes and act now before it's too late.

Even though I'm not in the medical field, it should be obvious that even if you are stressed about gambling, it's something that can't be related to trigger your Gastrointestinal problems.

Batch 28

My pick: Boston Celtics +3.5

Sa totoo lang hindi ako sigurado kung sino ang ipick ko between them at Miami Heat. Natambakan lang kasi ang Celtics nung parang nag-give up na sila na kumbaga to prepare for Game 2 na lang at binangko na iyong mga good role players. Sa tingin ko palitan ang panalo ng mga teams na ito.

I remember a thread here blaming the platform for still sending emails and promotions even though the user already demanded to stop it in the mission and goal of totally stopping doing gambling. Although that platform admits there's a problem with the system, seems not appropriate for me to fully blame the platform where in fact, it's impossible that people will not encounter any gambling-related stuff even just by a simple walking in the street.

Here in OP's shared story, I won't blame the platform here but the gambler itself. We should be responsible and serious if we really like to stop gambling. Only we can help ourselves to fight the temptation of gambling.

Don't say that mate as you might trigger some Miami Heat fans.

But anyway, these injuries from other teams really give Miami Heat an advantage. Here in the series against the Boston Celtics, winning Game 1 is not really an assurance that the Celtics do have a disadvantage missing some of their good role players. For sure, Celtics already know what to do next.

Let's see in their next games if they will be able to bounce back or Miami Heat will still dominate them until the end.

Maybe there are other reasons. The horse breed that fits for horse racing is capable to run even on the longest track allowed at horse racing. And these horses are only allowed to race 1 to 2 times per day and they will be set again for the race after a day period.

There are really unfortunate things that happened in horse racing but I doubt that was all intentional or if owners want it to happen. Or maybe someone is doing irregularities behind the shadows against their opponents which is possible to happen.

Maiba lang ako sensya na @inthelongrun.

Kabayan @bisdak40 nanghingi ka ba ng plus dyan sa kalaban mo sa inyo? Dito sa amin nanghihingi ako +1 Series ayaw pa. Ang lakas lakas ng Golden State Warriors. Gusto nila 1:1. Sabi ko kaysa ibet ko sa inyo e di sa online na lang at ang odds dun ay @2.85. Ok, sabi ko kung gusto niyo 1:1, dapat ang tama ko is @1.5 na lang. Sobrang baba na nyan ayaw pa haha. Sabi ko nga wag na sila magsugal haha. Die-hard Mavericks fan kasi ako alam nila pero kung di nila ako bigyan ng advantage e di sa online betting na lang ako haha. Sarap pumusta dito halos walang Mavericks ako lang haha.

Iba naman kasi to sa sitwasyon ng Bucks at Suns last Finals kasi binigyan nila ako +2 nun haha. Ngayon ayaw na nila magbigay ng + sa series.
