2024 PBA Governor's Cup

[Finestream]

Even though you have written half of your text in Italian,...............

You also discussed a recent game that was not particularly competitive, with Ginebra missing key players which led to their defeat.

Finally, you mentioned an upcoming game between TNT and Magnolia, predicting TNT to win.

You asked whether I was an expert in football earlier, but could I assist you with any other information about basketball?

Wait, are you lost, buddy? You quoted a message from different users, and now you're talking about football. What happened? Is your reply actually meant for this thread, or are you just messing around with some AI?

ROS -6.5
ROS total over 112.5

Tailing on this.

[Maslate]

Meanwhile, we had two games today and the second game between TNT and Magnolia caught my attention with TNT as a slight favorite and i think they will take this one.

My Bet: TNT -3.5 @1.88 vs Magnolia

You’re not betting on the first game, mate, it’s Rain or Shine vs NLEX. Let me share my thoughts on the first game first. Last time NLEX played ROS, and ROS won by a big margin. I’ve noticed that NLEX is solid on offense, but their defense is really lacking. Because of that, I believe ROS will take this one, and here are my picks for the first game:

ROS -6.5 - W
ROS total over 112.5 - W
Total over 217.5 -W

As for the second game, I think it’s going to be a close one, so I’m passing on the point spread. Since both teams seem to focus more on defense, it might be a low-scoring game. So here are my bets:

Under 189.5 - W
TNT under 96.5 - W

Good luck, kabayan!

Just wanted to update my post with the result of my bet since the last game just finished. I had an awesome night, all my picks hit, big thanks to my guardian angel! 

To bisdak40, sorry buddy, thought you had it too, but Ahamnissi pulled off a 4-point shot in the last seconds, leaving TNT with just a 2-point victory.

[Fredomago]

SMB Beermen massacred the Gin Kings with the score of 131-82, almost a 50 point blowout win for the Beermen.

Lassiter also dislodged Jimmiy Alapag from the number one spot in the all-time 3-point made records. I failed to put a bet on that game but i could have won since i'm a Beermen fan.

I forgot to highlights that record breaking achievements for Lassiter I think it take time to break that one as like Steph he still active and can add more to his own records, as long as he can still play the game we never know how many more that he can add for this new record, and the good thing breaking that win is against the heavy crowd favorite team, though not a good one as the outcome is totally a blowout game, Like what I've said a massacre where there's nothing Ginebra can do to stop the bleeding, ends up winning for those SMB fans both ML and Handicap.

I haven’t seen a consistent three-point shooter like Lassiter in a long time. It's gonna take a while for anyone to catch up, considering we're talking about three-pointers made, not just a lucky four-point play. Lassiter is fortunate to be on such a strong team, giving him more games and chances to rack up those threes. His shooting stroke is something else - he’s a streaky shooter with a fast release, and his game revolves around the three-point line. That’s why he’s hit these crazy stats and now holds the crown as the GOAT of three-point shooting, though not necessarily the GOAT of the game overall.

Last night’s game was rough though. I was expecting a closer one, especially since they’re sister teams, but with so many missing pieces, Ginebra didn’t stand a chance. Japeth was their only real shot in the paint, and he couldn’t do it all by himself. Go got injured last game, and Malonzo is still out.

Lassiter is lucky that he had Fajardo in the middle to grab those rebounds in case he miss those 3s while Fajardo is also lucky that he had Lassiter waiting in the wings in case there is a double team on him down low, they just complement each others game hehe.

Meanwhile, we had two games today and the second game between TNT and Magnolia caught my attention with TNT as a slight favorite and i think they will take this one.

My Bet: TNT -3.5 @1.88 vs Magnolia

That's a good assessement Kabayan both players benefits with each other, they are familiar with how they will going toplay the game and With Ross taking care of the ball rotation, both Lassiter and JMF will be able to execute their offense, like you mentioned they are lucky as they can catch up and help if ever the defense plays well with doubel teaming JMF, Lassiter is just quick pass way from taking that long range 3's and with his type of a deadly shooter most of the time he can bring that to a good execution.

I like that pick Kabayan I'm also with TNT as watching them playing their offense they really blend perfectly with RHJ, though Mags also playing decent but I also think TNT will be able to cover the handicap.

[Finestream]

To bisdak40, sorry buddy, thought you had it too, but Ahamnissi pulled off a 4-point shot in the last seconds, leaving TNT with just a 2-point victory.

Yeah, that really sucks! You think you’ve got the win, then boom, that last shot is a dagger. Can’t be helped though, especially since point quotient matters too. And Ahamnissi? That’s like the third time he’s hit a 4-point shot, while the rest of the team only managed one 3-pointer the entire game, which made it a low-scoring match.

TNT’s import is solid, even though they were undermanned, they still pulled off the win. On the other hand, Magnolia’s import seems inconsistent, maybe he's just not in top shape.

BTW @maslate, thanks for the pick, I tailed and I won on the ROS vs NLEX game.

[GreatArkansas]

Guys, for a later game, Meralco Bolts vs Converge Fiberxers at Ginebra San Miguel vs Phoenix Pulse Fuel Masters.

I did bet with points handicap and this is a multi bet to get good odds (2.5 odds), with a small bet the odds is good and risky at the same time as this is a multi bet.

Congrats on your win bro, that's huge.

As for my bet, Ahamnissi did foiled my bet as he sunk that four point shot, that's fine for me, part of the game.

Hope you will post early your picks for tonight's game bro, will try to tail your picks as you are lucky this week  .

[Maslate]

Congrats on your win bro, that's huge.

Thanks! I just got lucky that time, but there are days when luck isn't on my side. Since I was lucky last night, let's keep it going today...

As for my bet, Ahamnissi did foiled my bet as he sunk that four point shot, that's fine for me, part of the game.

Exactly! All we can do is move on to the next game, don’t get emotional, and just keep the discipline with bankroll management.
Stay focused!

Hope you will post early your picks for tonight's game bro, will try to tail your picks as you are lucky this week  .

Wish granted, LOL!

I won’t include the betting odds or market since you can check that yourselves, but here are my early leans. I’ll update later if there are any suspicious line movements.

For the first game, I’m going with Meralco because Converge has been inconsistent, and I heard they have a new import, which could cause some chemistry issues. Plus, Meralco is slowly getting their players back, which should improve their defense. I think Meralco will control the pace of the game, so my picks are:

Meralco -6.5
Under 204.5 ( due to line movement, this will be changed to over 206.5)
Converge under 99.5

As for the second game, Ginebra is coming off a disappointing loss, probably the biggest in franchise history with that 49-point defeat (IIRC). I’m expecting a bounce-back here, so a double-digit win seems likely. The Fuel Masters won their last game, but in an import vs. import match-up, Brownlee has the edge.

The Phoenix import carries most of the scoring load, so if his production dips, the whole team will struggle. My picks are:
Ginebra -9.5
Under 216.5 ( changed to over 217.5)
Phoenix under 104.5

It turns out that Meralco loses the game,  I was in the impression that after the rally in the 3rd quarter they will win the game and covered the handicap but Converge fought back,  the combination of Stockton and Jones their new import lead their way to upset Meralco.

While you got it right Gin kings beats Phoenix with a double digits leads covering that handicap, nothing Phoenix can do with the good game night of all the players of coach Tim.

[Maslate]

Meralco -6.5
Under 204.5 ( due to line movement, this will be changed to over 206.5)
Converge under 99.5
Ginebra -9.5
Under 216.5 ( changed to over 217.5)
Phoenix under 104.5

These were my picks yesterday, but I was unlucky with the ones I changed***they ended up losing. If I hadn't changed my picks, I would've hit 4 out of 6, still profitable. It's tough predicting these line movements, haha... For now, I'll stay away from live movements and stick to early lines, then make my predictions.

So last night, I already analyzed the games. These are my early leans (I won't change them anymore). Fade or follow, folks, but hopefully, we're all on the same page this time.

Final Picks:
TNT -16.5 and Over 204.5 for the first game.
San Miguel -4.5 and Over 221.5 for the second game.

Part of the game bro so better luck next time and by the way thanks for those tips as i managed to tail on one of your bets. Betted on Phoenix under 103.5 @1.97.

Final Picks:
TNT -16.5 and Over 204.5 for the first game.
San Miguel -4.5 and Over 221.5 for the second game.

Surely i will tail you on the SMB Beermen -4.5 as SMB is my favorite team in the PBA.

Let me join you, mates!
I will just bet in San Miguel Beerman (-4.5) and over 221. I'm afraid on the TalkNTxt tropang giga because of the high handicap, I will just watch the game.


Dang, Meralco Bolts lost to Converge Fiberxers yesterday, lol. I was expecting a mismatch and I even bet a handicap -5.5 for Meralco Bolts.

[Finestream]

We lost a lot on that one. I thought with their new import, their chemistry wouldn’t be great yet, but it turns out he’s really good, especially since he’s defensive-minded, and their scoring is well-distributed.

The one who really carried Converge (though I’m not sure if he was the best player of the game) was Stockton. He’s a young local who’s great at creating his own shots. This kid is definitely going to be a superstar. Another reason Converge won was because Newsome fouled out in the 4th quarter, so Meralco couldn’t really recover. Anyway, Meralco’s already secured a spot, so maybe that’s why their effort wasn’t as strong, especially with Durham not performing well in the 1st half.

Glad you liked my pick! Let me check the line again. It's now at -5.5, and the total is 222.5... Looks like we got good value by betting early. Like I said, no matter how the line moves, I’ll stick with my original pick. Hope to bounce back bro as I lost a bit last night.

@GreatArkansas... more force is stronger, let's get this one.

Maybe yes and they just rigged those who bets for them, same thing with how TNT is playing right now if DYIP win this game it's another sorry lost for those who loves doing a parlay, surely messed up with that small odds as TNT is a heavy favorite here, down by 7 points under 3 minutes, though still got lots of time but by looking how they are playing the game.. let see if upset will be completed, lucky for those risky bettors who take the ML for DYIP if they win this game.

1/2, not bad, thank you for that Maslate, I will continue betting in upcoming games, I'm enjoying the games right now. The win from Rain Or Shine is unexpected, we even bet for SMB with handicap, really rollercoaster games.
Lol, even TNT with the handicap of -16.5, also lost.
Feel free to share your betslips here guys.

Here's mine for today's matches.
NLEX (-2.5) and Hotshots (-8.5)

[Maslate]

Final Picks:
TNT -16.5 and Over 204.5 for the first game.
San Miguel -4.5 and Over 221.5 for the second game.

The result was pretty disappointing, both TNT and SMB lost, and it felt like their games had no bearing at all. Honestly, I didn’t expect that. It would’ve been okay if they just didn’t cover the spread, but this really happened, especially with TNT being at -16.5.

Anyway, only 1 out of 4 picks hit yesterday, so it wasn’t profitable. Time to bounce back today.

As usual, here are my early leans.

Phoenix +4.5
 under 219.5
Magnolia -12.5
under 202.5

[bisdak40]

As usual, here are my early leans.

Phoenix +4.5
 under 219.5
Magnolia -12.5
under 202.5

I’ll back Magnolia at -12.5 since NorthPort will be without an import tonight. Vinky Jois is undergoing surgery today for the injury he sustained in the game against Meralco.

Time to bounce back indeed, good luck to us.

Thanks for the analysis, bro! This looks like a bounce-back game since they were embarrassed by TNT last time, even though TNT was undermanned but still managed to beat them. We all know Magnolia is dominant and great on defense, so that -12.5 looks like a solid pick, and maybe the under as well. Good luck to us, bro, hope this one hits!

[Finestream]

Phoenix +4.5
 under 219.5

This is shaping up to be a low-scoring game since they only managed 91 points in total by halftime. The total live is now at 202.5, and NLEX is already leading by 17 points. Most likely, NLEX will just slow down to maintain their lead. As for the +4.5, that seems unlikely now, especially with the line at -16.5 in favor of NLEX.

[Fredomago]

Final Picks:
TNT -16.5 and Over 204.5 for the first game.
San Miguel -4.5 and Over 221.5 for the second game.

I was in the impression that after TNT got that disappointing loss against DYIP the 2nd game will be for the favorite,  but to my surprise ROS really played well and with that running attacks they managed to beat the powerhouse SMB, though it's really a great game for as I see TR7 playing his usual routine  just bad for the coaching staff  allowing CJ to be a one man team, I did not watch the game today that's why I don't have any insight hahaha..
