2024 PBA Governor's Cup

ROS -5.5 vs. Magnolia, and Road Warriors +6.5 against TNT. Honestly, I’m puzzled why ROS is favored by -5.5 when Magnolia almost beat them last time. Is there something we’re missing here?

Magnolia almost beat them but still it's a win for the wards of coach Yeng Guiao, that maybe the reason for that spread and also ROS is the number one ranked team in group B so that may also the reason why they are the favorite to win this game tonight.

But i will be backing the Hotshots this evening as they need to bounce back to even the series.

Magnolia ML @2.58, my bet for tonight.

Magnolia is now at +3.5, which seems a bit suspicious. This movement likely means the public was all over the +5.5, prompting the bookie to shift the line. Not sure if Magnolia can pull off a win here, so I'll take a pass on this game. But I’ll be placing a bet on the under (211.5 points).

Yeah, this is a criminal offense and case.

A lot of memes have been popping up on social media about Amores..just wanted to share, lol.

Some say instead of “Amores,” it should be “Amokes” since he's quick to get angry. Another one swaps his current team Northport Batang Pier for "Northport Batang City Jail." And this one’s just hilarious...calling him the MVP, or “Most Violent Player.”

He's literally a "shooting" guard.
An update, he's allowed to pay a fine of 24k pesos and his brother with 10k pesos. There will be more of the story as the investigation goes on. Some side of the story says that the victim was also brave as he triggered Amores to call the shot.

There's more for sure as vloggers and all those influencers who loves riding with the hot topic will continue to drag his name in each post that they'll going to create, knowing that they'll get attention to many people who also loves to hear about this shooting incident, Amores will gain that attention again it will take time.

Moving to the game, I like to see how Mags will try to bounce back and tie the series though ROS for sure  will do everything to keep the distance,.

Congratulations in advance ***this is an easy win for Magnolia. ROS is playing without an import, and the lead has ballooned to almost 40 points already. There’s no way ROS can come back with how they’re playing. Safe to say the series is now tied at 1 apiece.

What’s your lean for the 2nd game?

[Ziskinberg]

What’s your lean for the 2nd game?

The second game was really fun to watch. A lot of people lost their bets on TNT with that -6.5 spread, and they ended up losing the game. It was a great match, and TNT refused to give up, even when it seemed impossible for them to win. Now the series is tied, and as expected, the NLEX import was the biggest contributor, earning him Player of the Game. The final score was 93-90, which was way under the total line of 196.5 before the game started.

Congrats to the winners!
No rest for the bettors....there are games again tomorrow: SMB vs. Converge and Meralco vs. Ginebra. Can Meralco even the series?

Yeah right,  TNT did tried everything to snatch this game but NLEX managed to keep that distance and like what you said the import really produced well to help his team to tied the series,  it will be another interesting game for them as they both needed to adjust to counter both the offense and the defense of one another.

Moving forward to the upcoming games, will both SMC teams wins their respective games or it will also have the same outcomes either to tied the series or make that comfortable leads.

There's another update on this news. He's being helped by some of the known in the league to get away with this.
And there's one post that I've read that he will still be given a chance to play. They're just posts from these basketball pages and there's no confirmation about that and you're right, there they go. They're riding the hype of this news.

Here's the games for tonight:



I'm looking forward to the game of Meralco Bolts versus San Miguel Ginerbra tonight,
Meralco Bolts already lost their first match of the series, 92-99 is the score, it's a kinda of close game.
But tonight, I will be betting on the San Miguel Ginebra with odds of 1.75.

[Maslate]

An update, he's allowed to pay a fine of 24k pesos and his brother with 10k pesos.

So that’s the bail amount, right? I initially thought it was non-bailable, but after checking, it seems it is. Still, he's not out of trouble as the case continues, and his career has already been ruined.

Meanwhile, there's a game today. I'm not sure how Converge will bounce back, given how their offense disappeared in the last match, and their import really struggled against JMF’s inside presence. Considering that SMB’s import that time is still new and hasn't fully adjusted yet, I’m leaning towards betting on the under 207.5 and SMB -7.5. I just have a feeling SMB will perform better this time around.

I’m leaning towards betting on the under 207.5 and SMB -7.5. I just have a feeling SMB will perform better this time around.

Looks tempting, but I'll stick with SMB winning with the spread, the higher, the better, as that looks convincing. The crowd might still favor Converge since they managed to cover the spread in their first meeting. However, SMB is still a healthy team, and in that game, Stockton, one of Converge's best offensive players, was pretty limited. If they can't get that offense going, it’s going to be impossible to beat a powerhouse team like SMB.

As for the second game, it's looking very even, but since I trust Brownlee, I'll stick with his team.

SMB isn’t as offensive as they used to be, probably because of their new import. The first half is over, and Converge is leading by 3 points (51-48). Now, with SMB at -3.5, I'm taking it, SMB usually performs well in the second half, so this looks like a good line to me.

As for the second game, it's looking very even, but since I trust Brownlee, I'll stick with his team.

On a weekend with a big crowd, that's definitely a solid choice.

1/1 kabayan, just a single point but either way it will turned to break even for you, SMB wins the game leading only 7 points while if they covered it then the total will be over, not a luck for you for these selection.

But this one, for sure totally covered as like you said SMB performs well during the 2nd half, those raining 3 points from the guards of SMB early 4th quarter gives a comfortable lead just need to maintain and finished the game for SMB.

lost and win by just 0.5 points. (1-1), but loss on the juice.

Easy, that's why it’s always exciting to watch those games, because sometimes the opponent takes the lead, but knowing SMB, they’re great at making comebacks and winning. Alright, let's move on to today’s matchups**   it's Sunday, so the games should be fun!

TNT -4.5 vs. Road Warriors: The series is tied 1-1, with a total of 195.4 points.

Magnolia -5.5: Also tied at 1-1... Not sure what happened here. Could it be that the ROS import isn’t playing to see such a high spread?

TNT -4.5 vs. Road Warriors: The series is tied 1-1, with a total of 195.4 points.

I regret not betting early; I could’ve gotten a better spread. I took -7.5 at 2.06 odds, thinking TNT will bounce back with a double-digit win. So far, they’ve been shooting well from outside, and if that continues, there’s a big chance for a double-digit victory. It’s still early, but I like the trend so far.

[GreatArkansas]

Who's watching Rain Or Shine versus Magnolia Hotshots now?

I was able to get an odds of 1.70 for Rain or Shine (-4.5)
It's already 3rd quarter, and Rain Or Shine is ahead by 10 points. They will just maintain this until 4th quarter.
I'm just worried about free throws of Rain or Shine - 8/14 vs 12/15 for Magnolia (3rd quarter  6:40 minutes left)

Congrats kabayan, TNT bounce back and win the game with a very comfortable lead, it was the good start that gave them solid foundation they just need to maintain playing well in the 2nd half to win the game and covered the handicap.

That's intense game, magnolia manage to bounce back and force the game into overtime, though ROS manage to win the game but I guess magnolia covered the handicap, almost a win but in the last few seconds of the game those errors are crucials, better luck next time kabayan!

I actually won by only 0.5 points
The final score was Rain Or Shine - 111 and Magnolia Hotshots - 106

I'm glad that Fuller was not fouled out in the Over Time game and he was able to help the team lead the Over Time, the last 3 point shot made by Lucero of Magnolia Hotshot was really risky for Rain Or Shine because it was a game changer shot but Rain Or Shine still manage to win and lead 5 points to make my handicap bet win.

Congrats on your win kabayan, that was close. I wasn't able to bet yesterday as it was my day-off from any betting as Sunday is a day when i do my other priorities.

The Magnolia-ROS series is incredibly thrilling! I’m really hoping that ROS can hold their ground against the Hotshots and advance to the semifinals. It’s refreshing to see teams other than SMC teams making it to the semis and finals.

Thanks to their import; without that inside presence, it would've probably been the same outcome as Game 2. However, ROS still shows some weaknesses.. at one point, they were up by 18 points, but Magnolia managed to catch up and even pushed the game into overtime with Zavier Lucero’s clutch 4-point tying shot. This big guy has some range and clutch performance. I won my bet on that game, as I took the over for ROS total score, and the overtime definitely helped seal that win.

So, no ending action here.

Welcome to Game 3 with Ginebra (2-0) vs. Meralco and SMB (2-0) vs. Converge.

I’m a Ginebra fan, but this time, I'm betting against them....taking Meralco -2.5.
