2025 PBA Governor's Cup

[Maslate]

Well so far ROS plays like azz, haha. Sure, they came back from a big deficit early, yet now they are digging a hole again, going from +4 to -5 within a heart beat. You never know what you are getting, a team has the momentum and seems to be getting their shxt together and 1 minute later they are falling apart again, this is so strange.
I wouldn't be surprised if they lose the 3rd by 11 points just to make it a 3-5 points game minutes before the end.

That 3rd quarter run by NLEX really made the difference. ROS was already down by 20 at the start of the 4th, and it’s hard to believe they could still mount a comeback when NLEX is shooting well from the outside and attacking the paint effectively. Pretty disappointing to see the number 1 team in the PBA getting blown out like this. Still hoping for some kind of miracle in the last quarter, but it’s looking rough right now.

That's huge run and ROS unable to catch up as they run out of time, NLEX overpower ROS and took the number 2 spot, it's the way NLEX play the game as both outside and their inside attacks are converting so well while ROS can't find their rythm to counter or even to play good defense to prevent NLEX to keep that confidence.

Moving forward, those handicappers for underdog are the ones who managed to win for todays games, congrats mga Kabayan!

Looks like ROS got tired of winning and finally had to end their streak, lol.

Same thing happened with NLEX, they were on a roll before losing to Ginebra, but they bounced back strong in the next game.
So I’m expecting ROS to do the same after this tough loss.

Anyway, I heard from the commentator during the ROS game that the PBA will be on break starting the 17th and will resume on the 4th. That means we’ll also be pausing our bets for a while during that stretch.

I just checked the website, and according to their countdown for the next game, it’ll be back in 3 days. So we’ve got plenty of time to relax while waiting, and maybe save up a bit so we’ll have something to bet on once the games resume.

I’m not from Luzon, so I didn’t really feel the typhoon here, but based on some monitoring sites I’ve checked (which I’ll share below), it’s bringing pretty strong winds.

Stay safe, everyone.

Yup, since the typhoon will penetrate  Luzon and some part of Visaya's region,  it's best for players and fans to stay at home, safety is more important, us bettors can wait or can use other sports to bet online hahaha.. But kidding aside, like what you said keep safe mga kabayan especially to those who's going to be affected by this super typhoon UWAN storm signal are now raise up by NDRRMC from different places and regions!

There’s always the NBA as they never really stop, and with games happening daily, you can still watch and bet if you’re craving some action.
Tomorrow we’ve got around 7 games to enjoy, and we can bet on all of them if we want. For sure, we won’t miss the PBA too much if we keep betting on the NBA.
It only gets boring when both leagues take a break, but that’s not the case right now.

Anyway, stay safe to all our kababayans, especially those in Catanduanes, the big typhoon is hitting that area hard.
Hope everyone there is doing okay.

We were battered badly by Bagyong Tino kabayan so let's prepare for this upcoming typhoon as it is forecasted to be a strong one.
PBA games betting can wait another day and if we like to bet then there's the NBA hehe.
Be safe everyone as this Bagyong Uwan is most likely to deliver disaster to the Visayas and Luzon area.

[Russlenat]

Be safe everyone as this Bagyong Uwan is most likely to deliver disaster to the Visayas and Luzon area.

I really hope Cebu won’t be affected by this typhoon, especially since they haven’t fully recovered yet.

I saw a news report yesterday, I think it was in Liloan, where families were complaining about the bad odor coming from dead animals and garbage washed into their area, and the LGU still hasn’t addressed it. They’re more worried about their health now, and if this new typhoon hits them again, I don’t even know what will happen.

Let’s just pray to God to protect them and everyone in the affected areas.

Liloan was one of the hardest-hit towns by Typhoon Tino because the river there overflowed when the Flood Control Project in the area was overwhelmed by floodwaters. The current issue in the affected towns and cities is the clearing operation, because so many areas were affected that the LGUs are slow in conducting the clearing. This might be the reason why people are getting sick, as some areas now smells really bad.

Thankfully, despite PAGASA's advisory to prepare for Typhoon Uwan, we're currently experiencing only mild winds and no rain at all.

Nice to hear that, we really don’t want to see the same kind of devastation happen in Cebu again. This calamity is already affecting the country so much, but honestly, the damage could’ve been less severe if the government had properly implemented projects like flood control. Unfortunately, corruption ruined that, budgets get pocketed, projects end up substandard, or worse, completely ghost projects. It’s sad because lives are the ones paying the price for their greed.

[Ziskinberg]

PBA is back tomorrow, in case anyone forgot.

DYIP vs Phoenix... I’m curious why Phoenix is -9.5 even though they’ve been struggling too. I think I’ll go against them and try the moneyline at x4.15.

For the second game, Titan Ultra vs SMB, the spread’s also high at -14.5 for SMB.
I think Titan can still compete, so I’ll take the +points on that one.

[Natalim]

What if we see a huge upset tomorrow? With that high handicap, I kinda want to throw a small amount on a parlay. Sometimes when a game looks too easy for one team, the opposite happens, and upsets aren’t new in the PBA. The more obvious it looks, the less likely it actually goes that way. That said, I think I’ll drop around $5 on that parlay I have in mind.

Good luck on your parlay mate, you have a point an upset is possible though it has a slim chance to happen.
As for i'll be backing Terrafirma to compete against Phoenix who is also in the bottom of the standings, 9.5 i think is high since Phoenix is also struggling.
On the second game, i trust my gut that SMB Beermen will dominate Titan Ultra, a risky bet since SMB is not known to blow out opponents.

My bets:
Terrafirma +9.5 @1.81 vs Phoenix
SMB -13.5 @1.88 vs Titan Ultra

Good luck to all of us.

[Vaculin]

Terrafirma +9.5 @1.81 vs Phoenix

It’s crazy that Phoenix got a -9.5 line against Terrafirma when both teams basically have the same standing. Terrafirma actually played well against TNT, just unfortunate they ran out of gas in the 2nd half and let the game go to overtime, where TNT completely destroyed them. I think there’s a real chance for an upset here. Instead of taking the +9, I’m leaning on Terrafirma to win straight up.

Not today, Terrafima got overdominated by Fuel master that handicap is well covered by those who back up Phoenix, I did not watch the game but by looking at the scores online seems that there's no answer from Terrafima today unlike how they played against TNT where they manage to push for the OT, that competitiveness was almost upset the heavy favorite TNT.

We’re seeing two blowout wins tonight.

In the first game, Phoenix destroyed DYIP by 31 points. And now this current game feels like a repeat, maybe even worse.
The halftime score is 38–79 -  SMB already up by 41 points. For anyone who bet on SMB, this is easy money.

Those 4-point shots were dropping like crazy, CJ even made around three of them before halftime.

There’s gonna be history tonight if this keeps up, could be the biggest deficit ever in the PBA. Titan’s just trading baskets with SMB, and that’s not gonna help them come back. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if SMB ends up winning by 60 points. I just hope after this, Titan’s coach gets fired, because this kind of performance is a real shame for a new franchise like Titan.

Not 60 points but 43. The real history last night was JMF getting his first ever triple-double. The commentators even called him “Junemar Jokic,” lol.

I’m not sure what SMB’s highest score ever is, but 158 points is a lot… that might already be some kind of record.
Final score was 158–117.

And who would’ve thought Titan could even reach 117? Offense was there, but the defense was literally zero.

Yeah, that is the first ever triple-double for Junemar Fajardo and 158 points score in a game is a biggest i think. That high scoring game happens because of no defense on both ends of the floor, they were just trading baskets and fortunately for SMB, their 4-point shot were falling as if it were free throws. I bet for SMB on that game and honestly i'm a bit doubtful that they could cover that 13.5 spread as SMB is known to falter whenever facing an opponent in the lower standing.
