2024 PBA Governor's Cup

[Fredomago]

I like the bracketing of what the PBA did. Pool B is with San Miguel Beermen and Ginebra San Miguel which is in favor of the fans and not to see both of them playing in the grand finals. While on Pool A, Rain or Shine and TNT which we're having the spoiler there that it's going to be TNT going to the grand finals. Cast your bets everyone and I guess one team will be moving on the grand finals later tonight.

The bracketing manage to make sure that both SMB and Gin kings will not meet in the finals, but that's again assure the spot for another SMC in the finals hahaha, seems to m that the bookies manage to provide clear path for the bettors if the public place their bets according to how bookies cast thier hints, Congrats to all those who bets for Ginebra that's a very decent win..

WOuldn't be surprised if we see yet another 20:2 run or something similar to flip the game. 

That run did happen, but it wasn’t to flip the game as Ginebra had a dominating start in the 3rd quarter, which led to a blowout win. Now the series stands at 3-2 in their favor, and people are hyped for Game 6. I’m expecting SMB to come out strong and push to even the series.

The final score was 92-121, totaling 213 points. The opening total was 217.5 but dropped to 207.5 as the game approached, so if you bet late and took the over, you’d win. The 3-point shooting was key again, which seems to be the trend, but I’m predicting a low-scoring Game 6 with SMB in a do-or-die situation.

Yeah, Gin kings take that 2nd half and did not give any chance for SMB to rally back and cut that lead, when seeing JMF not asking or not forcing for the ball means that the game will mostly be for the Gin kings that's how I observe the game so with thoe role players who can help to put them on top, if CJ and TR7 is not that aggressive or if they mostly forcing their shots chances is to lose the game,

not going to criticize how the game ends becuase Gin kings outside shots really hurt SMB and that's how they manage to win the game just adds up their offensive rebounds which gave them more boost and confidence to take long shots.

It's tough to stop the Gin Kings when their locals are hitting their shots. Take Abarrientos for example, he's small but super confident with his outside shooting. Honestly, this current Ginebra roster seems stronger compared to when C. Stand was around. They might not have the best defense inside, but their high-percentage shooting from outside is really hurting SMB.

I'm not sure if we'll see a Game 7, but it could be smart to bet on Ginebra taking it in 6--or Game 7 if the series gets that intense.

Last game, SMB had a blowout win, this time it's Ginebra’s turn. So what’s next? Should be a wild one!

[freedomgo]

I also followed the odds at the beginning of the game. SMB was 2.0 and +1.5 at tipoff, when they were up 10 points they were still at 1.6 and -2.5. Now they are down 13 points and the handicap is +7.5.
This handicap swing makes 0 sense. The score changed by 23 points but the handicap only 10 points. What sense does this make??

So you're here to criticize the league and the oddsmakers? Look, this is gambling, and if you find it weird, maybe this league just isn’t for you. I’ve been betting on this league, and I’ve noticed similar things to what you're pointing out, but you know what? I just played and focused on winning...and it worked. Since you have such sharp observations, why not use them to your advantage and make some easy cash?

There is no such thing as "easy cash" when the odds have no value. And I have also wrote before, I have stopping betting this league a long time ago because of these things. I just wanted to point out that this series is proving these mentioned irregularities a lot.

That’s just your personal take, and I get it as I’ve had moments where I think the league is rigged too. But without proof, their reputation stays intact. When it comes to betting, we can keep that belief in mind so it doesn’t discourage us, and we can still enjoy the thrill of betting.

Why do you think the low odds teams are always on the winning side? And low odds have no value, especially when odd things are happening. You said it yourself, you have also noticed these things. 
But anyway, have fun with this league, if you believe everything is going the right way, good for you. And good luck with your bets on Ginebra everybody. WOuldn't be surprised if we see yet another 20:2 run or something similar to flip the game. 

Ginebra wins, THANKS!

I understand  that you don’t enjoy watching because of the patterns you notice, but posting the same observations here might not help the league gain more supporters. Maybe try starting a reputation thread that lists all your insights about the league. It could be a solid reference for everyone who’s into betting on this league.

It is for sure that an SMC team will really go to the finals. This is much better and earlier they've met on both pool rather than going at different pools and they'll meet in the grand finals. This is much reassuring than of the past that we always see the same teams going in the grand finals.
And congratulations to the Tropang Giga, they're now the first team to get that grand finals slot.

Guys, tomorrow is game 6 of Ginebra and San Miguel Beermen, I still can't decide which one to win tomorrow's game, I am hinting San Miguel Beermen will have a win so we will see a game 7 between these 2 teams.

If I bet on San Migueel Beermen, I will find a good + points handicap to them, it's difficult to bet on 1 win away match.

I’d go with Ginebra on this one. Tomorrow’s Sunday, and you know the crowd is going to be huge, with everyone coming out to watch. People will definitely be rooting for Ginebra to close out the series. There’s no better day to end it than on a Sunday as it's family day, with all the fans there to support them.

Trust your guts but I think that it will become 3-3 and will reach the game 7.

I agree, there's going to be a buff from the crowd and every Ginebra fan will cheer for them. The momentum is on them and it's Sunday but still, that advantage of San Miguel is there.

Those who are looking for a very nice odds, Ginebra money line now is 1.87.

Total points at 218.5 seems a bit high for now, so I’d wait and see if bettors push that line down, like what happened last time based on what I’ve read. The smartest move early on would be to bet on the moneyline, whether you’re backing Ginebra or SMB.

And again same familiar faces now it's TNT and not Meralco though same thing they belong to MVP's group of business against SMC same drill and for sure one of the main reason why there's less interest from most viewers and fans, not unless those die hard fans of each teams but majority wise, it's no longer exciting either MVP or SMC will take the trophy and win the title..

Looks like bad news for SMB. The line has jumped to -10.5 in favor of Ginebra. Jericho’s absence is confirmed, but that alone doesn’t explain such a big shift. My guess is SMB’s import won’t be playing either. Without him, Ginebra’s got an easy path to dominate.

The line is definitely looking suspicious. Whoever is moving it must be out of their mind, especially since Cruz and SMB’s import are both playing. They're already leading in the 2nd quarter, and if they keep this up, we might be looking at a Game 7. Now, with SMB leading by 5 points, yet the live spread is still -6.5 for Ginebra, it just doesn’t add up!

Wow, i'm a little bit late since i have not seen that line and if i did i would bet for SMB since this will be a close game in my mind.

End of third quarter and the score is 76-75 in favor of Ginebra but it is still anybody's ballgame.

Seems that bookies really trying to get the attention of the gamblers, those who take that handicap for SMB's side are all winners, no game 7 though as Ginebra ends the series beating SMB with only 3 points leads, I'm not sure what inside SMB's coach not using his players trying to duplicate coach Tim's strategy, what a game for all the players of Ginebra who step inside the court they are all ready and really give their best to move forward for the finals.

Seems that the script is for Gin kings and TNT, JBL vs RHJ good match up as both imports are really playing well, and so with the locals both got the talents and skills will be decided if how system will work and how it will be executed in each games.

It turned out to be a trap. SMB was so close to evening up the series; they just missed a shot to tie the game and a final 4-point attempt to win it. Ginebra earned their spot in the finals, especially with their strong import. If SMB's original import hadn’t been injured, we might’ve seen them in the finals.

Now the stage is set for a showdown between two of the best imports, it's like a rematch of the Asian Games with Brownlee and RHJ. Can RHJ get his revenge on Brownlee with his TNT squad? Plus, it’s a battle between two Gilas coaches, the former and the present. This should be an exciting series to watch.

It's okay still, Meralco last season got their title and now TNT is back against SMB. So, Ginebra didn't able to prolong the series and they've lost against the SMB. First game will be next Sunday on the Ynares center. Are we going to see more crowd this time or it won't be that much even if it's the grand finals? I'm expecting not a lot of fans gonna watch live.

Might be a typo error as It was Ginebra that will face TNT not SMB, yup, it's okay as it's still SMC and MVP same like last all-filipino cup where SMB face Meralco and MVP group wins the title, now another rematch between these two big groups but the good catch like what I mentioned is the rivalries of RHJ and JBL both exciting imports the air Jordan of pinoy hoops against the Kobe look-a-like ahahaha..

Good luck to all bettors and fans let's enjoy the competitions as both teams deserves their finals spot.

Lol, I forgot to bet on the match yesterday and if ever I was able to bet, I'm looking forward to betting on San Miguel Beermen with a points handicap and the final score is Ginebra 102 - San Miguel Beermen - 99. Only 3 points, I should've won, lol.
Well, till next time. October 27, is the start of the championship match between Ginebra and TNT Tropang Giga, see you all.

There's still one week until the grand finals first match starts. I guess some of the folk here are going to watch some live games. So good luck to everybody too.
