This story of game-fixing is not new to us and to prove that indeed there are rigged games is very hard. IMO, I think that it's just a coincidence that everything turned out that way and the PBA has nothing to do with it. Who will benefit if they will intend to lose their game and with today's technology, it is easier to spot a rigged game than before, and being honest and fair is profitable nowadays so I give them the benefit of the doubt that it's only pure coincidence.

Ohh man, the losing streak continues hehe, before the game I have read that CP3 requested a meeting with Scott Foster but it doesn't break the curse lol.

Congratulations to all the Bucks backers out there, the Giannis wall has no effect on the Greek Freak this time as he almost single-handily demolished the Suns on this game.

That is very true. The outcome of this fight really depends on Inoue on how he trains or wanted to win this fight. If he really wants it then he will win this one because he is the young lion of this division and I just can't see Donaire improve from their first fight and win the rematch because he is on the downhill of his career at the moment.

Good decision of the Donaire camp to go directly to this fight but I wonder if the old man will fulfill his promise to make this fight huh.

I don't expect a lot from Fajardo on that game because I knew his minutes will be managed as he is coming from an injury. I don't know when he will be basketball ready, for now, we will just wait and see who their opponent and might bet for their opponent if the odds are attractive.

I might change strategy in this early stage of elimination and bet for the underdogs for a 2.5+ odds because in this stage, top teams are adjusting and they can afford to lose a game or two so let's exploit that hehe.

Last Sunday two underdogs won, NLEX and Meralco.

I'm backing Charlo in this match but watching the fight I give a little edge on Castano but that fight was for the undisputed belt and neither fighter dominated the other so I think the draw decision was fair and hope an immediate rematch will happen this year. Wonder what fight that judge who gave 117-111 Charlo, was watching hehe.

Pacman is training like there's no tomorrow, that is what we see in him whenever he trains and kudos to him on that but the real question would be in the actual fight. Could he bring the same amount of intensity until the twelve rounds or even in the fourth quarter of the fight, that's the question that remains to be seen.  

If only it is a 3 or 6 rounds fight, then Pacman would have the advantage as he still have the speed and power. Hope I'm wrong though but that is what I see in him in being his long time fan  .

Actually, we will have 3 games for today as I see it in the schedule and the third game will be between Blackwater vs Rain or Shine.

Speaking of Fajardo, he will play, and just like what their team manager said that he is not 100 percent healthy but he looks good on their scrimmages I think his presence is enough to at least boost the morale of his teammates because even if he's not 100 percent, he is still dangerous to other teams so I'll be backing them to win today.

Make it 4, I'm backing Charlo to win this fight and it's only the method of winning that I'm thinking at the moment and more I'm inclined that this would be a win by Charo via decision, and looking at the odds, it pretty attractive.

^^ That win is not without a scare and the score may deceive you that it's a lopsided win but it's not, it's actually close.

That bet is a mistake on my side because I thought at first that the opponent of Magnolia will be NorthPort, must be sleepy when I look at the odds at the bookies but nevertheless, it's a win lol.

Seems Abueva is a good fit on the Magnolia system huh.

The good thing with this coverage on Facebook is we still can watch the replay if we miss the live broadcast of those games. I'm not watching PBA games on TV5 anymore as it usually conflicts with my work schedule so I just go to Facebook and see those pages that broadcast them live. FB live has a lot of usage for us today especially those busy ones like me  .

^^ Odds for tomorrow's game between Magnolia and NorthPorth.

Just like to share because for me this is very attractive if you bet for the Hotshots. Batang Pier was totally dominated by the Bolts and they must be playing tired tomorrow because of this back-to-back game. Clearly, the Batang Pier missed the service of Greg Slaughter but I think he won't be playing for a while for them as he is currently in the US for his vaccination (what a lame excuse lol).

Who's with me on betting for the Hotshots, -3.5 HC is not too high and if Magnolia wins they sure will cover this.

I've seen a lot of videos of Casimero before he leaves for the USA and it seems that he is preparing for this time and does not take Rigo for granted. He might be cocky sometimes but I do think that it is his way of going into the opponent's mind and psyche them up and also to sell tickets lol, we all know that whenever a boxer boasted many fans will want to see him fail.

I would be very upset if Casimero will fail on this one as this is his ticket to a more lucrative fight with Inoue as promised by MP Promotion and the fact that Rigo is old, he should take care of the latter convincingly.

Wow, I envied you mate  .

Whenever the PBA is playing out of town and they are in my place, I will never pass up the opportunity to watch them live especially if it's SMB that will be playing, it's always standing capacity in our local stadium. Wow, I miss those times but hoping that out of town games will be back soon and the new arena that will be built by SM (a little bit bigger than MOA as they said) will be finished by that time so we can see the home town boys (Fajardo and Slaughter) playing alongside each other not as an opponent as we usually see them when they are playing college ball.

If we follow the pattern, I think we should go for the Suns in game5 because whoever has the homecourt advantage won so far in this series and they always cover the spread so Suns -4.5@1.9 is the way to go but on the other hand the Bucks have already found the confidence they needed that might offset the homecourt advantage  .

The article says "Maximum of 200 individuals" so I think it will include the players and staff of the PBA so I don't think fans are allowed at this point in time even if you are fully vaccinated.

The PBA will try its best not to be the "super spreader" so I think they will be very strict for now and follow every protocol set by the IATF. Even if it's a fanless venue, still it is going to be exciting that even though their original plan of opening in April drew some setback but still they manage to get the nod of the IATF to finally open tomorrow. So guys ready your crypto  .

Agree and even if they lose twice in a row, I'm hesitant to bet against them because I think that it's just a waste of money because they are a strong team. I grew up watching team USA blew their opponents by almost 40 points and betting against them is hard for me now lol.

Maybe after the elimination games in the Tokyo Olympics, we can figure out who's the best team that had the chance of beating the US squad and just go for it with eyes closed.

Per below quote, the PBA has not yet released the official schedule of games but we can expect that they will release that on Thursday I think.

About JMF, he and TR7 were already seen joining scrimmages and per their team manager Gee Abanilla, they look good on practice even if they not yet 100 percent healthy.


I'm very excited to once again see my SMB team trying to capture that AFC title once again lol.

Controversies around the PBA has been overshadowed by the news of its resumption, so let's just sit back and relax for a while.

Seeing the odds at the moment, Charlo @1.42, Castano @2.85, this only shows that sports bookies are giving Castano a high chance of winning but that still to be seen and if you are a Charlo fan, this odd is attractive enough for you to make a bet.

I have not seen Castano fight yet so I think I will still bet for Charlo but I would be waiting for the odds on Charlo winning by Decision as this kind of market always gives me the win lol.

As per the news, Casimero vs Rigondeaux is now a go after Donaire canceled his fight with the former.

The All-Filipino match-up will still be possible if both fighters will beat their respective opponents but I doubt Donaire can do it, it's one hell of a climb.

This original match-up is both beneficial to Donaire and Casimero as this means more money for Donaire while buying some time for Casimero before his shot on the unified title.

Rigo is a defensive fighter and yup, he is still dangerous and can win matches if the opponent would underestimate him. Against Loma, Rigo doesn't have any luck as the former is too technical of a boxer and toyed him until he quits.

If he will be fitted against Inoue, I think he will be in trouble because he is not too lateral as he used to be and he will be knocked out in the process as Inoue is too strong.

Casimero vs Rigo is somewhat more of a fitting fight for Rigo because Casimero, though tested but there are tendencies that he could be careless sometimes and a little bit too cocky. If he takes for granted this fight with Rigo, this might derail his chance to fight for the unification title.
