I just saw a TikTok video of Mr. Ramon Ang being interviewed by Anthony Taberna. In the interview, Mr. Ang mentioned that his company is spending at least 1 billion pesos a year on their teams in the NBA. It seems that these teams aren't making a profit, but they can't remove them because it would upset the public. He also pointed out that the Bay Area Dragons vs. Ginebra Game 7 Finals had more attendance from fans compared to the opening of the FIBA WC or the first game of Gilas Pilipinas.
What are your thoughts on this? Is he telling the truth that these teams aren't making money? And what should the league do to make every team profitable?
IMHO, Boss Ramon Ang was telling the truth but the teams were already there so he had no choice but to continue what others before him (Danding Cojuangco) have form. Money is not an issue I think at their level because if you have a team on the PBA, your taxes will be adjusted so i think something is coming to the pocket of the owners. I also saw that interview and was amazed at how Boss RSA lived a simple life. |

The fight is a give-and-take between the two fighters but Lopez is getting the most out of the exchanges this is a fast-paced fight one of them could lose a gas if this goes in the championship rounds I have Lopez ahead by 2 rounds here, check out the live feed here. Luis Alberto Lopez Vs Joet Gonzalez LiveUPDATE: Luis Alberto Lopez retains his title via unanimous decision It was a great fight but Gonzalez cannot keep up with Lopez's rapid punching and good ring generalship. Kudos to Gonzales for going the distance despite being outgunned by Lopez. It was clear from the start that Gonzales had no opportunity to win as he does not have that pop that could intimidate Lopez but nevertheless, it was a good fight. One thing i observed on Lopez was that his defense wasn't so good and this is crucial if he fought Inoue in the future as i think Top Rank will be cooking this fight to make Inoue a 4-division champion as Lopez is very beatable. |

Hindi parin ba nakasama si Baltazar? Ano balita sa kanya? Huling balita ko is yung hindi siya nakareceive ng invitation to join gilas from coach Chot. Akala ko ngayon ay inimbitahan na sya ni coach Tim.
Handa naman daw imbitahin ni coach Tim Cone si Justine Baltazar kahit ano mang oras pero hindi pa sa ngayon dahil gipit na sa oras at hindi pa niya daw kabisado ang laro ni Balti kaya sa susunod nalang daw kung magkakaroon ng pool yong Gilas. I have nothing against coach Tim pero tingin ko nagdadahilan lang siya rito at hindi pa siya handa makaharap si Balti dahil sa kontobersiya na nangyari between him and Balti, just my thought. |

I'll watch the fight I want to see great action, Lopez is a good prospect in the boxing world his style is very much similar to Jorge Arce and Fernando Montiel, he is a small guy but loves to mix it up in the future he'll have a lot of great fights and I see him fighting Navarette in the future or even Pitbull Cruz.
I expect Lopez to knock out Gonzalez probably in the late rounds, Lopez loves to punish his opponents before knocking them out just like in his last fight against Conlan.
If you to watch the fight, it will happen tomorrow and the cards will begin @8am PH time. I've tried to search in my favorite bookies as i'm interested to bet and looking on whose gonna be the favorite but there were no odds found in my favorite bookies. Good for boxing fans in Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines because per Top Rank post, the fight will be aired for free in these three countries. The #LopezGonzalez card will stream live & exclusively in Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Dallas Wings - Atlanta Dream
The stake odds for this game are 1.33 for the Dallas Wings and 3.05 for the Atlanta Dream, for this game Lou Lopez Senechal, and Diamond DeShields both have knee injuries and both also is out for this season for the Dallas Wings, while Nia Coffey has a hand injury and is out of the season for the Atlanta Dream, and Asia Durr has a knee injury and is questionable if she can play for the Atlanta Dream, for this game even though the Dallas Wings seems ok with their two players that are out for this season because they are the favorite to win this match-up, for me this could be a chance for the underdog to win the game so I am going with the Atlanta Dream,
With the following reasons you have mentioned above, no doubt i will tail your bet as i seldom see you put a bet on this kind of odds. Two key players are and still they are the favorites to win, this might be a trap but like i said i'm going to tail your bet and also i love underdogs to win ballgames hehe. The other day, i bet for the Aces -18.5 as per my observation, they usually blew their opponents by huge margin and glad that they did.  |

Following your argument, it's true that after Inoue unifies all the belt from the previous division and manages to un-strip the current
champ from this new division, he gains lots of hypes and confidence.
While with Casimero, after being un-strip due to regulation, he's still trying to find that momentum to earn the position of being a title challenger.
They've got different position as of now, and we don't know if Casimero will have that opportunity to meet Inoue inside the ring.
I'm following Casimero's YouTube vlog and it seems that he is just taunting Inoue to fight but he is not so keen if the fight will happen or not, I mean he also got his own fight and make money out of it, the Inoue fight will just be a bonus of his career if they meet one day in the square ring fighting. Casimero is not getting younger but he has his own money-making schemes like endorsement deals and business outside of boxing so I think if he can't fight Inoue that would be okay for him. |

Tingin nyo makakaabante kaya tong Brownlee led Gilas sa second round ng Asian Games mga kabayan?
Oo para sa akin. Si Justin Brownlee gamay na ang pakikipaglaro sa mga locals at umiikot ang bola kapag sya ang may hawak. At since si Coach Tim ang head coach ng Gilas, mas alam niya gamitin si Brownlee at mas mautilize pa ito. Unlike kay Jordan Clarkson na more on isolation ang play, sa current Gilas lineup walang macoconsider na one-man kaya di mag focus ang kalaban na mag full defense pressure specifically kay Brownlee. Thompson to Brownlee connection, ilista na yan. Kayang-kaya ng Pilipinas ang Bharain at Thailand. Kakahiya pag nag upset sila ng mga yan. Sa Jordan lang sila magkakaroon ng medyo mahigpit na laban. Yong Jordan na reinforced ni Rondae Hollis-Jefferson ay hirap tayo dyan kasi sa mga lokals pa lang ng Jordan eh kaya nilang makipagsabayan sa atin dahil may height din yong roster nila. Thailand is led by Tyler Lamd, iwan ko lang kung ilang naturalized players gagamitin nila, sana isa lang at yong Bharain naman medyo walang kaba doon kasi si Wayne Chism lang naman yong import nila na kabisado na rin natin yong laro, mainitin pa yong ulo hehe. Yong first game ng Gilas ay against Bharain sa September 26 pero wala pa akong nakikitang mga odds sa laro, pag meron na, ipo-post ko dito pero parang laki siguro ng spread dahil mahina yong Bharain eh. |

Nakita ko rin tong balita na ito kanina, grabe more than 100 million pesos yong na-scam nya gamit ang word na "cryptocurrency".
Pero sa dinami-dami na ng scam na nangyari sa ating bansa, mayroon pa rin tayong mga kababayan na nakumbinsi ng mga kawatan na to, sigurado akong hindi siya nag-iisa dahil bata pa nya, 23 years old pa lang ang nakapang-enganyo ng mga milyonaryo para mag-invest daw sa kanyang business gamit ang cryptocurrency.

Oh that's good to hear that he has his own gym now, I mean that's how you give back to your community. Of course he can used it personally to train if he has incoming fights. But it will also give other younga and upcoming boxers to train there as it could have a good facility. Until those gym that Manny used when he was still in the beginning of his career. Although it could have help Filipino boxers to get used to obscured boxing arena's and fight, but still good if there will be some gyms that they can start with par with many gyms in the world. No odds yet though, so we will have to wait for a bit and see what options we had that will likely give us a good return or profits betting on John Riel Casimero here.
Yeah, the gym is very helpful for those youngsters who want to be boxers as they have now a facility where they can practice for free and if they are serious enough and become a prodigy then that could alleviate them from poverty as most of the kids that are training in Casimero's gym came from poor families. Good thing that Quadro Alas provided some of the kids that have potential the equipment like running shoes and shorts for training. |

 ctto Since tapos na yong FIBA World Cup 23, ginawan ko na lang ng separate thread tong updates ng Gilas patungkol sa kampanya nila sa Asian Games'23.

Yeah, that was him, we can read some article regarding that. Tim Cone apologizes to Justine Baltazar for ‘hasty remarks’ on Gilas Pilipinas availabilityTherefore I think there has been no more issue between them, afterall Tim Cone is the coach and Baltazar is the player, so it's still up to the coach if he will pick Baltazar to be part of the roster. Personally, I'm more excited to see the veterans, particularly Romeo, as I'm sure the team will be entertaining to watch. I'm wrong in my speculation that Baltazar will join the Gilas for the Asian Games because per Spin.Ph, coach Tim Cone is not gonna pick this guy at least for this Asian stint because he is not familiar with Baltazar's style of play and they have no more time to adjust therefore the list that was released the other week is final. For sure we will see Baltazar in a Gilas uniform after this Asian Games, maybe in the FIBA qualifying tournament as he will be part of the pool by that time. |

Not sure why CStand is not in the lineup as for me he's really good protector /defender inside, plus his connection with Junemar, Mo' and TR7 really adds up for the team, same faces with JBL administering them, it's something that we as fans will enjoy the Asian Games. Like you, I'm also in that same thinking that this squad would be enough to bring pride for our country.
Maybe CStand is on vacation in Germany that's why he is not included in the pool but I think that the recently released line-up will change a bit because i have read an article that they will invite Justine Baltazar, an agile big man who could also help Fajardo on the boards since AJ Edu is not available. I prefer to have Balatazar in the squad rather that Mo Tautua, who is for me not fit in an international kind of play. |

Casimero ML @ 1.10 is quite high and it's somehow unrealistic, so I don't think that the bookies will list it like that knowing Casimero's odds in his past fights are more than that even if the fight still looks the same just like this as Casimero still have the upper hand.
So yes, it's somewhere 1.30 to 1.40 in favor of Casimero. Those odds will be worth it already as I don't really see this Oguni as a threat in Casimero's streak. Aside from that, I'll be watching for some options while the fight is getting near.
I'm sure that as the fight goes near, there are many options/markets in the bookies and i'm contemplating on betting for Casimero to win by knockout as he is so serious now on his training and the good about his training is that he won't go anywhere else as he has built his own gym in his own backyard, this way he could save a lot of money and no more nightlife for sure. |

As of now, there's no other Filipino boxer who could potentially give a good challenge to Inoue. It's not Tapales but it's Casimero.
The closest will be Casimero, but we still don't know how the fight will be because they haven't fought yet and we don't know if they will ever will as the ball in in the court of Casimero to be impressive in the super bantamweight division before he will be given the chance to fight the champion in Inoue. Casimero is heavy-handed and could knock out opponents with just one punch, an attribute that Tapales doesn't have and it speaks on his record with a little above 50 percent KO wins and we have seen how Inoue staggered after he was hit by that lethal hook of Donaire so maybe if it's Casimero's punch that would touch Inoue's chin, there is a chance that the latter would go down. So sad that until now there are no solid information yet on when the fight will be held but rest assured guys that this will push though IMHO. |

Since there is no limit for naturalized players, I do hope that they will include CStand in the lineup to add more muscle in the front court and also Justine Baltazar, hope the issue with him and the Gilas coaching staff will be resolved and he could be in Gilas as this kid is very promising and he adds ceiling to this roster also. Since this is only the Asian Games, I do think that this current pool is competitive enough sans injuries on the core like Junemar Fajardo and Justine Brownlee. |

It should be a fun thing only with small amounts and hopefully everyone keeps his word, I know many people would say that it’s better to just bet on a casino but I think it’s more fun here and also sometimes you can agree on better returns.
What do you think about this? I hope it’s not breaking any rules here.
We have some P2P betting on our local especially if it's in the finals of our national basketball League and yeah it's fun and so far we have not encountered any problems on doing that, losers not paying, or not heard that we have broken some rules in the forum but usually we bet on the bookies as it is the very convenient and safest way to bet and not worry if your opponent will pay you or not. |

TBH, I've got no knowledge about this Euro league but for sure there are betting odds for this league and I think this thread will be helpful for us that has little or no knowledge of what's going on in Euro basketball.
Will closely watch this thread so that I can gain knowledge on whom or where to bet.
Do most of those players we have watched on FIBA'23 will play on this tournament?

Kamusta mga taya nyo sa Semi Final at Finals ng FIBA World Cup? Swerte ng mga dehadista ngayon sa FIBA. X5 sa Germany vs USA nung semifinals. Sa USA vs Canada x3 kung tumaya ka sa Canada foor battle of Bronze Medal. Napaka unexpected ng FIBA result ngayong taon kala ko USA mananalo ngayon. Viral tuloy ngayon yung si Noah Lyles kasi mukhang tama yung parinig nya sa mga NBA player na "World Champion of What? USA?  Sarap sana ng X5 and X3 odds na yon kung hindi lang USA kalaban, fan kasi ako ng Team USA kaya ayon, malungkot tuloy ang experience ko sa Fiba World Cup '23 betting hehe. Hindi ko lubos akalain na makakapasok yong Germany sa Finals after nilang muntik matalo ng Latvia kaya akala tatambakan sila ng Team Usa pero baligtad ang nangyari. Sa Olympic ano mga Prediction nyo na magiging result? Like about sa gilas makakapasok kaya?
Sa Olympics naman ay siguradong akong babawi na dyan ang Team USA at malamang ay reinforcement ng mga beterano yong pinadala nila sa FIBA, sa kanila yong Olympics kaya walang duda sila ang gold doon. Yong Gilas, hindi ako umaasa na makapasok sila sa Olympics ngayon kahit andoon pa si Clarkson. |

Less than an hour already before it starts. I actually have ML bets on Canada and Serbia.
Congrats on your win on Canada bro, that's awesome. Team USA almost catch-up but they fell short. On the Final's game, i have in my mind on betting for Germany but upon seeing your post, I changed my mind and bet for Serbia hehe hope I won't be the reason why Serbia lost this game if ever. Odds are almost even so this is just a guessing game for us whose teams got eliminated early hehe. |
