2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

Magnolia is +9.5 live, I'm taking it now.

Good luck, that's a big gamble but currently, the lead is still in double-digit and I don't think Magnolia still has time to come back and win. +9.5 too has very slim chance of winning as most likely Magnolia will not play hard anymore knowing they will still lose.

Congratulations Bisdak, hopefully I will have my win also tonight. We still have one quarter, with a better defense and offense, I believe that Magnolia will make it a close game, it's okay if they'll lose as long as they will not lose more than 9 points because game 3 is more exciting and another chance to bet.

Game 3 is very important, no doubt, I'm sure everyone will be betting on Ginebra, I think the spread would be -3.5 that time but it's still manageable IMO.

Yeah, it has a slim chance indeed and I lost my bet this time. Magnolia losing double-digit, that's uncharacteristic for a team that has a long winning streak. Anyway, I'll just wait for the odds to open for game 3, I'm sure they will bounce back from this big loss. No games tomorrow, it will resume the next game, and I think one day rest is enough, they'll figure out how to win next time.

I thought they could continue their rally in the 3rd quarter into the fourth. They have cut their deficit by a single digit but NLEX made their own rally late on the fourth quarter.

They can bounce back next game. If they can have consistent defense like they have shown in the 3rd quarter forcing NLEX to have turnover, they will bag this.

Brgy. Ginebra was able to cover their handicap of -2.5 @ 1.8. A good option compare to Moneyline @1.65 (although I don't know when was the time it was shifted and adjusted to @1.75). But seriously, the same handicap can almost cover too by Meralco as they literally take the game close with Ginebra the entire game. They are even up by a few points entering the 4Q.

I'm really sure Ginebra will take that game however Meralco is really playing at their best. It's like every possession should be worthy or else that will lead to the turning point of the game. Do-Or-Die next game and we should expect a close game. I'm sure the Moneyline odds for both teams aren't that gap next game.

The momentum now is on the Ginebra, we should not be afraid betting on them even if the odds will be higher than game 2. I'm thinking that if Ginebra will win, it should be a double digit win as Ginebra are good in closing game and Ginebra has a high win rate against Meralco.

Who is afraid of betting on the Ginebra? They will play tomorrow and they have the crowd, and as you said, they have the momentum already, so why scared of taking the risk? The good thing with Ginebra is that, the moment they figure out how to beat their opponent, that will continue, so expect a win by the Gin Kings tommorrow, fans will help them for sure.

If there's a big gap, then I will not take the Moneyline odds.

Tonight we will know what would the be the odds for game 3 or the do-or-die game. I'm expecting that Ginebra will be a light favorite because definitely bookies will adjust especially if the spread is not high since public bettors will hit Ginebra spread hard for sure.

If it's -2.5 or -3.5, it's still worth to take IMO.

Fans especially, will never doubt betting for Ginebra it's a do-or-die game and it will add more to how they wanted to see the team will perform, the momentum shifted to Ginebra's side now and Meralco knows it so they are also preparing and review all the possible adjustments that they needed to do.

Last team to stand and proceed to the next round. Both Ginebra and NLEX survive and now will try to win against their opposing teams.

Good luck to all PBA fans who also love betting in each game..

You are right and I am a fan too. Whenever it is a do-or-die, I always bet on Ginebra. And I think the sportsbooks also agree.



Maybe I will take Ginebra handicap. The game will be close but I think that Ginebra can easily cover it. 1.78 is quite low but good enough for me.

[chaser15]

Since the ML odds and handicap for Ginebra are almost just the same, and if you feel Ginebra will take the win next game, why not consider placing a bet for these 2 bets? No headache to think since a -1.5 handicap is just easy to cover as I can't imagine the final score will be that tight even last game is a close one.

Of course, the only thing that will destroy that bet is obviously if Meralco Bolts will win the game.

They are really giving Ginebra a hard game this series. A chance to get their revenge as they can't beat Ginebra during an import conference.

Of course, we know what Ginebra is capable of, and that's what they did in game 2. And for sure majority here doesn't see that they are going to be eliminated. But they rise to the occasion again. So they will be the favorite in game 3 with the ML or even a handicap is not that bad to bet on them. And this is going to be another close game but maybe Ginebra has still something with them and win the decider.

[Shamm]

Since before I support ginbera and magnolia so what ever the odds is.  even their opponent has a high odds or they got the high odds Still I support ginebra san Miguel and I put my bet to them and, yes ginbera has a good record and a high winrate they have a good line up that can beat meralco so without a doubt they can win in their match. And in handicap as we can saw ginebra got only 1.78 while meralco got 1.86 which is still good for me to choose gin kings.

Very close match up and seems that the bookies are really tempting bettors, both teams got slight inch with their ML and handicap odds, got pick for Ginebra fans as ML is already acceptable with @ 1.71 if you are not sure if how they can win this game better to take this instead of giving Meralco a handicap of +2.5 where the team can close the game with a half point loss.

Or, another option is to take the bet during live games, you can see the performances of both teams and you can pick side according to how you analyze the game.

But believed me, some of Ginebra fans are worried on that game. Meralco is keeping with the phase with Ginebra the whole game and there are lots of exchange leads. It's just that they fell short but overall, their game against Ginebra is a close one. This is a good series so far where both teams are almost equal and it now depends on players if they will have a bad night or not.

On other game, I was surprised and stunned by NLEX performance last game. Even there are rumors that Magnolia just give way for another ticket sales the next game lol we see that NLEX really did their best. I just don't know if the same playing level will be shown by them in their do-or-die game.

This is the last game between the two, the arena will be full because it's Sunday and they are in the 2nd game.
I'm not sure if Ginebra will cover the spread but I believe they have a very good chance of winning.

If the rumors are true, then that's what we called game fixing, it should be investigated.

Well, if they really try to fix the game to prolong it, then it's not possible that they will again fix the game this time. The spread is high, I like that, and I believe that Magnolia is really the better team, they will win this game and will cover the spread. Good luck!

Same here, I believe they will cover the spread, it's still -6.5, so they have to win as they did in game 1 in order to cover this high spread. It will be a bounce back by the Magnolia, they are worthy to be a champion, so they better show up here and win the game impressively.

We are all united that we are betting on Magnolia -6.5, I hope it's not a trap because the spread is high and it could easily be covered by NLEX even if Magnolia will win. If you will ask me, the spread of the Ginebra is more like a trap than the spread of Magnolia, but who am I to know, we can only conclude if we see the outcome of the game.

Better to lock this thread and create a new one, or if OP^(@mirakal) is inactive ^{(which is not)} then just create a new one and tell people to post on the new thread instead. The thread will not be labeled as duplicate FIFA and NBA current season has different thread too.
