Binuksan ko ulit ang thread na to dahil may nararanasan na naman akong bagong problema sa pagpadala ng Bitcoin sa isa ko pang wallet.

Almost three weeks na atang naka-tinga at "time-out" lang ang nakalagay.

Normal lang ba ito?

Maliit lang ito na amount pero kakainis pa rin  Smiley.

Not bad for Justin Chua.

After losing MIP award, Justin Chua wins new three-year Phoenix deal

Good things will come for players who are working hard to improve.

Though he did not win the Most Improved Player award but we can see how improve he was during the last season. He is still young, he will eventually win one if he continues to work hard for his team.

There's really no transparency in the contract amount, I tried to find the amount of contract in 3 years but I cannot find it.  Justin Chua is an important player for the team due to his hassle, I think he is also making a decent salary like the stars of the team, maybe lower a bit. He is already 31 years old based on the article, it's not young IMO but his maturity in the game has already improved, he is a versatile big man as he is also confident in shooting 3 points.

Maximum salary cap of a PBA player is P420,000 monthly, which is P5.04 million annually, that  offer is for those who so-called superstar.
If he signed a 3-year deal mostly he gain something near to that.

I read an article where a star like Terrence Romeo only get P200K per month after joining the SMB franchise, he sacrifices his salary for the sake of winning a title? not sure but in the event of formality or for the sake of team's salary cap he might be getting that in paper
but there are more behind it something like under the table deal.

Php200K might be small to a player with a talent like Terrence Romeo but what they are after is the incentives and bonuses when they are in the playoffs and fighting for the championships in which SMB is always doing and some of them were offered endorsement deal, maybe that is what you mean "under the table" but actually that's part of the contract.

Do you guys remember the offer sheet of Tanduay Rum to Danny Ildenfonso I once shared on this thread? That is one hell of an offer and you can see there the amount of money they get when getting into the playoffs.

3503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Avni Yildirim - February 27 on: January 22, 2021, 11:42:46 AM
Would be upset of the year if Avni Yildirim wins (like no one believed in Ruiz, when he TKO Joshua). Or Canelo would bet on his lost and bankrupt some bookies Cheesy

I don't think an upset will happen here because Canelo is wisely picking his opponent and even some of the boxing analyst didn't even give Yildirim a chance on this fight.

Tim Bradley is right, the level of opposition Canelo had in his last few fights is bad and it seems that he is avoiding the best fight that suited him.

Pick for tomorrow Lakers @1.91 vs Bucks, GL Lakers, huwag nyo nang gwardiyahan si Giannis sa rainbow, patirahin lang ng patirahin yan lol.

Congrats kabayan, naka isang panalo ka naman. Hindi talaga kinaya ni Giannis.

25 points 12 rebounds pero 9 Turnovers, at na fouled out pa. Wala pa talagang magandang play ang Bucks ganon pa rin tulad ng dati.
Alam na natin kung anong mangyayari kung sila man palarin makapasok sa NBA Finals, dapat siguro palitan na ang coach na yan.

Salamat kabayan, laking tuwa ko at naka three consecutive wins na ako, sana hindi pa ito mapuputol bukas.

Speaking of Giannis and the Bucks, hindi talaga ako bilid sa the "Greek Freak" dahil sa tingin kulang pa ang kanyang arsenal. Kung made-develop nya yong outside jumpers na napakalaking kulang sa kanya, baka mag-champion ang Bucks. Tingin ko hindi lahat nakasalalay sa coach ang future ng Bucks, their franchise player must do his share of making their team a champion one.

12W - 20L (standing).

Edit:

Bet for tomorrow Clippers -12.5 @1.86 vs Thunder, LA teams has been good to me lately so hindi ko sila bibitawan.

What platforms allow betting on the PBA?

Online crypto bookies like Sportsbet, Nitrogen offer betting odds in the PBA.

Is there an online outlet that will stream these games for free?  

AFAIR, they broadcast their games free on Facebook and we, locals watch it free on local television.

I've never heard of this league, but would be very curious to see how different it is from the NBA.  

It's the oldest league in Asia and the style of plays Filipino players adapt is not that much different from the Americans as they are the ones who introduced this game to us (someone correct me if i'm wrong on this). Basketball in the Philippines is like a religion and almost every kid know how to play it but unfortunately we are not too gifted with physical aspect needed in this sport  Smiley.

Have any of the Philippine Basketball Association players ever made it to the NBA or the G-league?

So far no pure Filipino blood make it to the NBA but there are prospects like the name Kai Sotto, he is now playing on the G-league.

Jordan Clarkson and Jalen Green have Filipino roots in them and the former have played for the Gilas squad in Asian Games while the latter have yet to see action with the Philippine squad.

Nice to see you inquiring on our favorite league OG and mind you, we played and bet for this game online or offline, sort of a past time.

Hope other users will add inputs to your questions.

Edit:

If i may add, the PBA bubble just concluded last December and the opening of the next season will be on April 2021.

Roger Pogoy downplays PBA Awards snub: ‘Champion ang gusto ko’

Good mindset of him, we know that Pogoy is not a type of player that loves to shine only in the team, he is very humble and wants to help his team to win, and that's the reason why I believe Pogoy will soon be a champion. TNT should give him a max contract, I don't know his current salary now but if he will get signed again, I wish TNT will value his contribution like Castro.

His day of going to the podium will come. RR Pogoy is one of PBA's no-nonsense guy, all hardwork when he is on the court, for sure he will be rewarded with an award for that.

The good thing about Pogoy is he is a two way kind of player, plays offense and defense and seldom he will be benched for an off night.

AFAIK, his salary is not yet on the maximum but who knows someday he will get that.

So that means Lakers ka tomorrow against Bucks? Maganda nito bro is halos patas lang ang betting odds, Lakers ang slight underdog, so maganda kung sa moneyline ka nalang. Good luck sayo, hanap nalang ako ng ibang game, siguro dito ako sa Warriors vs Knicks.


Matic yan bro, sa ngayon kasi mukhang maganda na talaga ang chemistry ng Lakers, nakapag-adjust na ata yong mga baguhan sa kanilang system.

Yong Bucks, hindi maganda ang record nila against high-ranking teams as of this late at ngayong lang ay bumaligtad na ang pustahan, Lakers na yong slight favorite para sa kanilang laro bukas.

One bet per day muna ako sa ngayon at mukhang unti-unti ng bumabalik predicting powers ko ahh  Grin.

Pick for tomorrow Lakers @1.91 vs Bucks, GL Lakers, huwag nyo nang gwardiyahan si Giannis sa rainbow, patirahin lang ng patirahin yan lol.
3508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 21, 2021, 08:32:47 AM
Unbelievable, they are -10.5 and they lose by 12 points.. How good the moneyline for the Cavaliers, who did bet on the ML?
No bet is really safe, even the weakest team in the NBA against the stronger, you cannot tell they'll win easily.

I'm 0-6 when betting for the Nets and seeing the +10.5 handicap for the Cavs, i thought at first it was attractive but never got the courage to pushed the button lol, how much more for the ML  Grin.

For those who are Nets haters, this is your opportunity as bookies will put tempting odds if they are against below 500 teams like the Cavs.

3509  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: January 21, 2021, 08:23:09 AM
Pick for tomorrow:
Clippers -9.5 @1.91 vs Kings


Mukhang di ako kampante sa bet na ito kabayan, last time nag meet ang dalawa, 38 points ang panalo ng Clippers. Ngayon, maaring ma dominate din ng clippers ang kings pero tinitingnan ko ang losing streak ng kings, nasa 3 na ito, so nasa isip ko, susubukan nitong manalo, kung di man man manalo, maaring close game ito at ma cover ang spread.

Tumama na naman si bisdak40, panglawang sunod na ba ito?
Easy win na naman, parang walang gana maglaro itong kings, ganda lang ng umpisa pero sunod sunod na talo nila.

Naku, akala ko nag improve na itong team na ito dahil muntik ng masali sa playoffs last season, back to basic pala to.

Congrats bisdak40, baka ito na umpisa ng win streak mo naman.

Salamat kabayan, sana ito na nga umpisa ng winning streak ko. Apat na sunod na panalo then talo, then panalo naman, ok na ako dyan hehehe.

Gaya ng sabi ko noong nakaraang linggo, it seems na buwenas ako sa Lakers at Clippers so if ever my game sila i will automatically place a bet for them.

3510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas (No date yet) on: January 20, 2021, 02:25:35 PM
Everyone really wanted a Inoue vs Casimero fight, after all it should had happened if not for the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on Dasmarinas previous fights, he still has the tools, he seems to be more on a body puncher, so he needs to be close just to be able to dig on Inoue's body and see if there is an effect. But in order to do that, he will eat a lot of punch in return so that is a big risk for him. And just like the rest of Filipino boxing fans, I'm expecting a good fight and Dasmarinas throwing everything.

Dasmarinas vs Inoue is a prelude to Casimero vs Inoue, as this is a money fight on the lighter division and Bob Arum wanted this to happen with an audience around to generate more profit.

Inoue should do his part here, defeat Dasmarinas and he is in a crossroad to a unification fight with Casimero.

Inoue got a good chin so you are right mate, Dasmarinas need to gamble and slug it out for a chance to land some power punches in the liver.
3511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas (No date yet) on: January 19, 2021, 12:38:22 PM
Still yet not finalized,

Inoue-Dasmarinas: Date, Site Of Fight Depends On COVID-19 Restrictions In Japan.

If Japan is not viable, then obviously this should be held in US, still a win-win situation for Inoue. He really needed that exposure to the US market. We all know that he is that good, but if he keeps on fighting on his native Japan, then casual fans won't recognized his name.

Also suited for Michael Dasmarinas, if he can pull an upset here, then he can get some fans in the US.

Quote
“Here’s the problem with Inoue – they want his fight to be in Japan, his next fight to be in Japan,” Arum said. “The problem is, if you’re not from Japan, you can’t get into Japan. There’s a complete lockdown. Even if you’re willing to spend 14 days in quarantine, you can’t get in now. So, to say, ‘Yeah, it’s gonna happen in April,’ who the hell knows? Yeah, we’d love to have him fight in April. But we may have to bring him out of Japan and have him fight someplace else.”

The thing with Japanese fighters, they want to fight in their home soil and they don't care about exposure as Japan can afford to pay fighter just to come to their country to fight, Mayweather circus is a great example.

This could be a problem for Bob Arum as he want Inoue to be popular in Vegas where the money sits as lot of gamblers are there.

In the fight will be held in the US, a neutral ground, this could somehow lessen the advantage of Inoue over Dasmarinas as he is once again out of his comfort zone.

Bakit kaya underdog ang Nets?

Maglalaro naman sina Durant at Harden, parang may mali sa line na yan, tingin ko lang ha, parang trap ito eh.

Siguro mainam na wag na muna tayong pumusta dito, pwede siguro sa over/under.

Mukhang tama si Vaculin, maganda ang ranking ng Bucks at kompleto pa sila while the Nets don't have Irving on that game at bago pa lang si Harden sa kanila, pinakamabigat na dahilan yan baka kasi may issue pa sa chemistry sina KD at Harden. Pero slight favorite lang naman sila kanina and that game could go either way, buwenas lang kanina ang Nets, shots were falling when it matter the most.

Lost my bet kanina, did not watch the game live but i'm monitoring the score. Akala ko panalo na dahil tambak yong Warriors ng almost 20 points in the first half, pero pagtingin ko muli sa final score, panalo pala ang Warriors  Sad.

9Wins - 20Loses (standing), mukhang below 500 ako dito pagkatapos nitong 50-game experiment.

edit:

Dalawa lang pala ang laro bukas, i'll be rooting for the Jazz -5.5 @1.87 vs Pelicans.

2nd edit:

Panalo yong mga favorites kanina at yong ATS ay covered pa, won my bet also.
10W - 20L

Pick for tomorrow:
Clippers -9.5 @1.91 vs Kings

Actually it's true that you can't please everyone, we have our favorite players and we are expecting that they will win an award because we believe they are contributing to the team as expected. However, the winners are chosen in different criteria, it's not an public election where they will explain, it's their league, they should not be question.

As a fans I understand how some felt but this too shall pass.

Quote
40% average statistical points.
30% press and media votes.
25% players' votes.
5% Commissioner's Office.


Made a little research on the criteria for selecting the BPC and above is what i found.

Even if you are the SP's frontrunner and you are not friendly with the media and with your co-players, i think you would not made it.

The above criteria explains why Abueva have not gotten even a single BPC award and this is also the reason why Fajardo, a talented and very humble, friendly to the media got 8 BPCs and 6 MVPs.

How about Parks, do we see here the new Calvin Abueva?  Grin
3514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Paquiao VS Connor McGreggor? on: January 18, 2021, 01:04:16 PM
It may not make a big difference but $10 million or more is a big money, of course he can use that in the election but he doesn't really need that anyway as  he is already very popular, if he will run still in the senate, then there's no doubt that he will win, but for President, that's another story.

Nailed it, seems to me you are well acquainted with Philippine politics  Grin.

Families and true friends of Manny Pacquiao were urging him to retire from this sport but it seems that the fighting senator is hard-headed, passion for boxing is the only reason that comes out of his mouth why he can't leave by now.

As a fan the Pacman, i think he should already retire as father time is already catching him, that is evident on the Thurman fight.

But if ever he would fight again, Mayweather or Conor is an appropriate and very healthy opponent for him not Spence or Crawford as it would be suicide to do so.
3515  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: January 18, 2021, 12:35:09 PM
Maiba naman, ayaw mo ba sa Nets? +2 sila now, tapos home court pa. hehe

I'm 0-6 on my bets involving the Nets  Grin, didistansya muna ako sa kanila and besides this is only Harden's second game and Bucks is a defensive team unlike the Magic baka mag-falter dito ang chemistry ni KD at ni Harden.

Pero para sa mga basketball fans, napakagandang laro nito baka itong dalawang team na to magtagpo sa ECF.
3516  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit mayroon akong Bitcoin on: January 18, 2021, 11:52:12 AM
Pag may Bitcoin ka at hawak mo ito mismo sa iyong personal na wallet, ikaw lang ang pwedeng gumalaw nito at gumamit, ito ang financial freedom na benefits pag may Bitcoin ka.

Pero sa ngayon, ang freedom pa lang natin with regards to Bitcoin ay ang pag-hold at pagbenta nito kasi wala pa masyadong gumagamit nito sa ating bansa. Pero darating siguro ang time na Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency will replace fiat as a medium of exchange, just don't know when.

As for me, 1/4 of my savings goes to Bitcoin as am investment (maliit lang to  Grin) kahit pa sabihin nila na ang Bitcoin ay hindi para investment but i consider this as one and the rest is on the banks pero spread the eggs strategy na rin para kung lulubog man ang isa hindi lahat ng pera mo mawawala.

Bottomline, medyo mahirap pa sa ngayon to fully trust on crypto, pati na sa mga banko lol.
3517  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: January 18, 2021, 11:08:00 AM
@Vaculin, ^^ anong ibig sabihim nyan bro? Is that a parlay or you won 2 out of 3?

Ganda naman ng odds ng Clippers if they won by more than 26 points. Pansin ko madalas mo ginagawa ito, profitable ba ganyang strategy bro? Hindi ko pa sinusubukan mga ganyang betting style, focus muna ako sa single betting, sana makuha ko na yong grove in the near future.

Medyo buwenas ako pag LA teams ang tinatayaan ko ahh so for tomorrow my bet is Lakers -8.5 @1.84 vs Warriors.

9Wins - 19Loses, my standing.
3518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 18, 2021, 10:45:48 AM
Stanley Pringle deserves the BPC award.

He's the most consistent player in Ginebra in the bubble up to the Finals. We all see that. Others even consider him as the Finals MVP.

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/ginebra-s-stanley-pringle-named-pba-best-player-of-the-conference-a795-20210117

I agree on this one mate. We all saw who put water whenever the TNT is on fire in the finals.

The only thing i wonder is why Ray Parks who is the leader in SP didn't even make into the "Elite 5".


I'm hoping Calvin will win here? 

He did not won the BPC award but at least he is on the Elite 5, his only award aside from ROY if i'm not mistaken.
3519  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: January 17, 2021, 09:21:37 PM
Wala pa rin ang Nets kabayan, di pa rin tayo pinapanalo, 7 points lang ang nilamang nila.

Ganda sana ng laro ni Harden at Durant, pero ewan bakit hindi nila matambakan ang mahinang Orlando Magic.

Yung Hawks ganon rin, 6 points ang lamang ng PT.. medyo minamalas na naman.. bawi nalang ulit bukas.

Napaka-unpredictable talaga ng mga laro ngayong sa NBA, yong Hawks akala ko panalo na ang bet ko dahil sa first half laging lamang yong Hawks pero nadali rin ng Blazers.

Napaka-interesting ng Nets sa ngayon. Ano kaya mangyayari kung babalik na s paglalaro si Irving? Who's point production would go down, KD or Harden? But i think they will be on a winning streak from now on kung wala lang injury sa trio na yan.

Lost my 2 bets yesterday, 8W - 19L na ako  Embarrassed.

I'll go for Clippers -8.5 @1.99 vs Pacers for today.

If in case Dasmarinas will win this fight, Inoue's fans for sure will be upset. And that will be Dasmarinas' ticket to go for bigger fights. But can he outsmart Inoue on this match? Interesting, right? But what I am sure is that Dasmarinas will prepare for this one as he is facing the already-famous Inoue here. So the ball is on him if he can indeed challenge Inoue.

And Bob Arum will be upset too  Grin.

This is a mandatory fight for Inoue and if Bob Arum will permit this to happen then for sure the biggest fight for Dasmarinas career.

If you guys noticed, when an unknown Filipino fighter comes into this kind of a situation, they will bring their all and leave nothing behind as this will be the ticket to stardom just like Manny Pacquiao. Hell of a fight for the Filipino pug but who knows, this is boxing and miracle do happen sometimes. Michael needs to KO the Monster here as the fight will happen in Japan, a place known for boxing robberies hehe.
