2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Yamifoud]

So it's offical, we are now in the Semi Finals round.

Anjo Caram delivers big blows as Meralco sends NLEX packing

It will be;

Talk and Text vs San Miguel Beerman (best of 7)
Magnolia Hotspts vs Meralco Bolts (best of )

To make it short, it's Cojuangco vs Pangilinan.

So if we like to see real competition in the finals, one team from Cojuagco and Pangilinan should advance.

All 4 are all deserving to win the title, but only one will take the crown.

Sad but it's much better if TNT and SMB are the one who face in the finals, though they are going to face in the early stage and whoever wins the series will advance and play for the title.

So if we like to see real competition in the finals, one team from Cojuagco and Pangilinan should advance.

Who knows, but it's not a guarantee just like what I've said all four are deserving, what if both Cojuangco or both Pangilinan wins their respective series, the ball is round and we don't have any accurate basis to say who's in the edge and who's the underdog?

If they will try to fix the game, that could probably happen. TNT has the best season so far in the PBA, they finish the conference with only 1 loses, they will not waste this opportunity to win, but to be honest, they have the toughest challenge also as they have the beat a healthy SMB team with JMF back already.

I still think that the SMB will win, but I would not be surprised if TNT will win in a close series.

I would agree that this is an almost even match-up with SMB up with a little advantage because of Junemar but it can be offset with the coaching brilliance of coach Chot Reyes.

With the history of both teams and coaches in a series, I would still put my money behind SMB considering that everybody on both teams is healthy. This is not what TNT wants (to meet SMB in the semis) but if ever they will take care of SMB here then they will be champions for sure.

Disregard that part. If game-fixing will happen, it should have started during TNT vs BGSM. And with no live audience, it does not make sense to have that "bigayan" portion because there were no ticket sales. No advantage for the league if the series will be extended.

I guess no one is willing to take my bet, lol.

there's no handicap in the series, it's all even because TNT is also a good team and I enjoyed watching them, it's just that I have to stay loyal with my favorite team in the PBA and if I lose, no regret at all.

So last call, we still have few days probably, shoot me a PM.

Not with the current roster but people based on game history where SMB always winning at a Game series match. If you are aware of betting on a series match outside online gambling, there's a thing called the "+1" game. You can consider having that to somehow attract gamblers to bet on TNT.

To summarize, your options are:
 
a) TNT +1 against you. The bet will be 1:1, with no change of odds.
b) No + but odds will be, TNT @2 SMB @1.7-1.8

If you will choose A, I will accept the challenge. SMB is more dominant to me and I'm not a TNT fan after all so I need an advantage.

It's easier for them if they will win against SMB, not an ideal series, but better to deal now and take care of the rest after. No doubt that the brilliant mind of coach Chot will be the advantage here. The rotation and is far better now compared to those previous coaches who handled this team before he comes back.

SMB if complete and healthy have that advantage, Fajardo and CJ Perez if both explode in this series, it would be tough match up for coach Chot, plus this line of SMB still have the veterans who are bind together and will compete up to the last buzzer.

There is confusion to me. Did you guys saw already the advertisement for Ravena vs Ravena matchup in Japan B-League? The matchup will be today (Saturday).

My question is, Kiefer Ravena commits he will play for NLEX. If he's there against Meralco, they have a chance to win. But according to Yeng Guiao, if they were able to pass Meralco, Kiefer can play. But what if they really won against Meralco? Kiefer will now skip games on Japan B-League instead which is scheduled today.

You can only found a match against a loyal TNT fan too. For a gambler, it's hard to bet against SMB in a series match unless you will be open to handicap. And from what I noticed on this thread, everyone is an SMB fan.

JuneMar Fajardo is giving a big impact too. Maybe if Fajardo is out, someone will accept your bet. Even without JuneMar, because you are loyal to the SMB team, you will still bet for them.

Just sharing the Facebook Livestream of a match between Shiga LakeStars and San-EN Neo Phoenix, the team of PH cagers and brothers, Kiefer and Thirdy Ravena respectively. I have noticed that there are lots of nationalities per team. The league is no anymore pure Japan cagers compare to before.

It got hyped because of the Ravena brothers but they didn't even explode yet even playing with great minutes.

The stream link shared was shut down. Maybe it reached the 100,000 limit viewers. It's halftime now.

Back to PBA, I thought there's a game today. Didn't realize tomorrow is the start of the Semi-Finals.

Just hype  , that's what it is all about for the Ravena brothers. I don't consider them explosive players that could dominate a professional basketball leauge (pardon me Ravena bros fans) and I doubt the motive of the teams that pick them, maybe for gate attendance as there are a number of Filipino fans living in that area.

Speaking of Japan B-league, Kobe Paras had a hot pro debut scoring 25 points in 33 minutes of play in a losing effort. Let's wait for the second game if he will still register that kind of number. So far he was the only Filipino who had an impressive debut.

Does Sportsbet always offer outright betting for Philippine Basketball? In Stake, I never see they did it before.

Anyhow, the odds for Game 1 Semis are out now: (stake.com)

Meralco Bolts @ 1.82 vs. Magnolia HotShots @ 1.89
San Miguel Beermen 1.8 vs TNT Katropa @ 1.82

We can conclude that bookies see these games having no underdog or favorites. Almost equal. Betting on Handicaps is the best option here for me.

Last year, Sportsbet offered markets for outrights during the Finals and I think they would do the same this year but i did not remember they offer outright in the semis.

Odds above are more advantageous if you are a fan of the Beermen but if you are a die-hard TNT fan, better for somebody offline that gives you +1 game as there are many who are giving that kind of handicap (some of my colleagues at work we're already doing that).

I can't remember any of the sportsbook I'm using has offered a series bet in the PBA, they seem to give a limited market only although in fiat booking there are more options.

Nice odds, it seems to be fair for both teams and probably it's good to bet on per game since the odds difference is not that huge.

In sportsbet, the odds are also available now, I'm getting 2.02 (price boost) for SMB.

Looks like the SMB is the underdog in the series since, in game 1, TNT is the favorite. I guess bettors will put more money on the SMB to win and probably they will make a simple strategy to bet on SMB in game 1 and double if they lose, that's martingale using a good probability as if SMB loses in game 1, they will still remain as underdog in game 2.

If you are a fan of whoever team such odd is very friendly, no underdog and a good value for your money.

Tough to predict who's going to win  both matchup from Cojuangco and Pangilinan groups are very competitive,

not going to take any early bet better to wait  during the live game and see which team will going to perform and show aggressiveness to win.

This is the best playoffs so far, the odds are very competitive for both teams so as a fan, we will not have a problem looking for the best value. A little movement of the odds, SMB now is 1.86 while TNT is 1.92, no more 2.00 + for SMB as probably bettors are betting hard on SMB to win game 1.

For me, SMB's bench is deeper compared to the TNT, if we also compared the starters and one on one math up, I think SMB has the edge overall.

JMF may not be as dominant as he was before, but the SMB now has Mo Tautua already who is also a reliable backup center.

I wish I was able to put my bet early, but anyway, a 1.86 plus price boost would be enough if they win.
