2024 PBA Governor's Cup

[Maslate]

Unbelievable! Of all the teams, the struggling Blackwater beat Ginebra last night. How many of you lost your bets? I wasn’t able to bet last night, but if I had, I would have chosen Ginebra even with a high spread. It was a low-scoring game, which should have favored Ginebra, but what happened is just what happens every season when, early on, weak teams can beat a strong team.

We thought amazing things only happen in the NBA—nope, they happen in the PBA as well. What’s even more amazing about the PBA now is that they’re almost always in action, with just one day of rest, so we can enjoy the games. Regarding that game, of course, it’s automatic that bettors would bet on Ginebra, especially since they were coming off a victory against SMB. But unfortunately, they lost to a "farm team," so it’s really unbelievable, but it happened. I was wondering what the moneyline odds were for Blackwater at that time.

However, it won't happen again for sure. Now, I’m looking forward to Ginebra’s next game because I’m confident they’ll bounce back strong after that disappointing performance.

I'm not sure they'll face again but if indeed they'll face, of course Ginebra would make sure upset will not happen as they are competing on the ranking and Ginebra now already have 2 losses.

I didn't bet for this game but sure it is unbelievable when a team like Blackwater miraculously beat teams like Ginebra.

However, it won't happen again for sure. Now, I’m looking forward to Ginebra’s next game because I’m confident they’ll bounce back strong after that disappointing performance.

We will never know but it's unlikely that they'll be able to beat them again. Let's see if BW did improved this season. Ginebra will face NLEX on Tuesday.

Good to know that as you could be upset with the outcome.

I’ll back Ginebra for sure. For today's game between SMB and NLEX, I lost my bet because I went with SMB, even though I managed to get them at only -1.5 during the half. But they lost to NLEX. The pregame spread was -8.5, and I tried to get a better spread, but it turns out NLEX had a great shooting night, so they beat SMB in OT. 2 straight losses for SMB already, next game I'm going big.

That is for sure that I will be and it's also possible that many were after that game.

That's unfortunate but we've got a lot of games to come except on Monday and for sure that you'll be able to get some of those losses back.
So, good luck with your next bets and hoping that you'll be able to cover your losses today from your next bets.

I didn't watch the game but I'm also surprise that SMB lose the game in OT, I was in the impression that they'll be bouncing back after that loss from Gin kings, PBA really tough to analyze just like what happened previously unexpected win from BW, beating Ginebra is something huge especially that the team who beated them is one of the well known farm team,.

[Distinctin]

What we are witnessing now is a massacre in progress.

DYIP, which has not won a game yet this conference, is struggling again. The first half is over, and they are down by 31 points against Magnolia. There's no way they'll come back against this strong team, so the bookies weren't wrong in giving them a +15.5 handicap before the game. Now, it seems like DYIP has become the worst team in the league, with most of their losses being blowouts.

The score is now 63-32.

It seems that the most of the SMB companies are experiencing heavy losses. Well, to me this is a good sign that other teams especially the uncommon ones are winning against them. Maybe through this, the confidence of the fans will be back and they'll be able to have that urge again to watch the games not just because of the 4-point shots but with the likes of having the games be back at their likings.

I do hope that this trend will continue but it seems to me that this is only isolated event, i mean that it is only part of the game that one of the two teams will lose. SMB is planning to change their import after incurring two consecutive losses which means that they will be back on the winning once their new import comes in, i hope that the article i read is true. BTW, Terrafirma Dyip is on another losing streak now, Cstand and Stanley Pringle remain winless on their new team.

They need a more athletic and mature import. Their import is still young and can't match up well against the best imports in the league right now. SMB is a tough team, loaded with great local players, so getting a good import is crucial to maintaining their dominance. However, this could also be risky, as chemistry might become an issue. Hopefully, they'll be able to get a good import because, if I'm not mistaken, under the rules, a team can only change their import once.

In papers, SMB don't need to change their previous import I think they need to change the system that they are executing, there's no plays as everyone who touches the ball wanted to take charge, that's the problem most of the time if you got a compilations of superstars, most if not all wanted to take that shots and make a good offensive contributions.

Though if they think that they need a new import who can play the system that they are running someone who can be a 2-way player who also can blend and jive with how the team play the game.

Good point, though, because this import scored 50 points in one game, and his numbers are actually great. He just lacks the skills to finish games, especially when they’re close. Most of their losses have been in close games, so I think they’re looking for an import they can rely on to make a game-winning shot if necessary. Their introduction was already solid when JMF was a beast. I hope they stick with that strategy, so they remain unpredictable, as they have threats both inside and outside.

Exactly, with that type of game from JMF they should continue to feed him inside and rotate till he seen the open man, not sure but seems to me that something controls them, hahaha NLEX beats them in OT which I guess fans like me will be surprise, as they coming from a upset loss  with their sister company and expected that they'll be bouncing back strong, but that's how PBA works right? hahaha.. kidding aside, still early and still have chance to bounce back.

Yeah, looks like an isolated thing for the SMB teams. Well, the conference is still quite long and all of these losses will be able to recover by them. Losing is part of it and it's true that they will lose some but win more. They still no doubt the teams that are contender for PBA and that's as always.

[bisdak40]

We have two games for today but i'm more interested in the second game.

Ginebra vs NLEX, i'm betting for Ginebra to win this game as a loss will put them in the bottom of the standings as they already have two losses. A little bit risky of a bet as NLEX had a moral boosting win over SMB last Saturday but i trust Brownlee to get the job done.

Ginebra -4.5 @1.82 vs Road Warriors

It might a different look if we won't see them in the finals, not sure if when was the last time but most of the time one of those SMC team is the one who's playing for the finals, maybe adjustments will happen and we will see them start winning again, just like how Mags take thier last game winning against 0 win Terrafima.

Adjusments might start here as Gin kings will take this one to avoid another dissapointment, losing third time might bring some hates from their avid fans, so there's a big need for coach Tim's squad to re-organize and start winning games.

Good luck Kabayan!

I was late in betting, and I would have bet on Ginebra as well because I knew they'd bounce back. Now, Ginebra already has a comfortable lead, but I thought, why not have some fun with the odds? So I bet on NLEX to win the game by 11 points or more. The odds were 30x, so it should give a huge return on my 200 pesos bet.

And that's why many fans have lost their appetites because we keep on seeing the same teams like the SMCs in the finals. But the last conference was actually good and a game changer. For the first time, Meralco has won its title and it is the rival company of the SMC, the MVP.
If we get to see this, I think that most of the teams will be handled or under by MVP as well and the PBA will be just a bunch of sister companies and teams under MVP and SMC.

Nice try kabayan but unfortunately Gin kings is not willing to let their fans down, beating their opponent with that wide huge of margins, I think they are now getting the idea I mean those new in their rotation, Holts and RJ is now getting their roles and if they continue playing like that together with JBL and Thompson that might established a good 2-way counter game system that may convert to more winnng games.

Yeah right, though just reading a social media post about Akari showing interest in buying one of those 2 farm teams, it might be an interesting additional competitors if the management is willing to throw money to make a competitive squad, else, just like what happened with Converge, they ends up nothing and just going with the flow allowing SMC and MVP to continue their dominance.

[Maslate]

The first game today at 5 PM is between Meralco and Converge. Based on the betting odds and spread, Meralco is currently at -8.5, which makes them a heavy favorite to win the game. Looking at Converge’s previous game, they lost to Northport in a blowout, with a score of 135-109. So, I'm thinking maybe Converge will try to bounce back strong, and if they fall short, at least they'll cover the handicap.

The pick is CONVERGE +8.5 and a small amount for the moneyline.

That bet of yours is a bit risky kabayan as Meralco is a strong team in my opinion and if they win i think they will cover the spread.

Anyways, i will be betting on the second game between Magnolia and NorthPort which has a lower spread.

Magnolia -4.5 @1.80 vs NorthPort
