2025 PBA Governor's Cup

[Mr. Magkaisa]

A very big mistake i made today while betting for the game of NLEX and Blackwater.
I clicked on the match +15.5 black water 1.87. Im clicking the place bet, suddenly it doesnt allow me.
I refreshed the page and click again place my bet (25 USD free beet) and clicked a wrong one.
the score was 17-10 in favor of Blackwater, i clicked Blackwater x 12.5 and now the +15.5.
My freebet now is gone. lesson learned again!

My plan is to bet for the Phoenix after the game

Turns out that was a lucky mistake as although Blackwater lost, but only by 8 points.
So your bet still covered in the end!

And that’s another win - as TNT loses again, making it their third straight loss.
BTW, TNT's next game is on Sunday against SMB, this might be another L.

Lucky day for kabayn if both bets are executed, like you said it turns out that Blackwater managed to cover the handicap, they've keep the distance not that far and lead the win for those handcappers who entrust their money since the house offered 2-digits leads but end the game with single digit.

Not sure what's happening with TNT seems that they are playing without any composures and the team efforts is not showing, unlike playing with RHJ, they are very competitive, that kind of leadership needs to be seen either from Oftana or Poguy to start winning the game.

I clicked the worng one, no + but the amount will be x12.5! so i did not win my fault!

I wish, but missed the first one and lose my 25 bucks, and did not bet on the next game. unlucky day.
I was new on that website, my first time to bet and betting there is not the same for betting with your money and betting with free bets that s why i made a mistake.

Unlucky mistake.. so instead of going for the handicap, you bet on the moneyline. Too bad.
But looking at the game, NLEX clearly dominated overall. I think Blackwater even won the first half, so not bad at all if you were chasing high odds.

That’s just bad bankroll management.

It’s actually better to miss the first bet than the last one especially if you’re working with limited funds.
Nothing feels worse than watching a game you were supposed to win, but couldn’t bet on because you ran out of money.

But... no worries, there’s always another game tomorrow. Time to bounce back!

[Japinat]

And we are back!

Games today as as follows.

DYIP vs Magnolia @5:00PM ( Magnolia -18.5 and the total is 183.5)
TNT vs SMB @7:30 PM ( TNT +6.5 and the total is 186.5)

Anyone here crazy enough to bet on a DYIP and TNT moneyline parlay?
I’m just curious what the total odds would look like.
The sportsbook I’m checking doesn’t even have the DYIP moneyline listed. What a tease.

[blockman]

If that rumor tends to be true then we have to salute the PBA management for allowing this, reducing a farm team of the SMC. And if they can do it with them, then the other farm teams can be sold as well if there is another interested company which I think that's another sardines brand. But all in all, this is going to add another base fans for the team and if cities getting involved and got into this, that's going to be their pride.

If happen, I like to see how the their fan base will bring viewers and active support for the league, not sure but I heard that this team really have the capabilities to compete and bring decent players, meaning that they can adds up to real competition with a independent team that's not controlled by either SMC or MVP.

Might be a good news for those who still interested for this league they may attract attendance and viewerships.

They're able to compete internationally and that's why they can do it if ever they're able to purchase that slot from the Terrafirma. At least, we'd see a farm team out and this team that will get it is determined to win championships. IIRC, even the Blackwater Bossing was rumored that they're also selling their franchise slot.

Nice, that supports the argument but let's see if the actual talks have already come up with a result. It's only a matter of time until we see them get into it and announces it with pride soon.

Indeed, until we heard the finalizations, then it will formalize and be announce, let see if they will close the deal!

Hopefully, they will do.

Fortunate that they have not listed a moneyline odds for the DYIP as they were blown out by the Hotshots while in the second game, it was an upset as i never thought that the struggling Katropa would end up winning against a mighty Beermen. Of all the teams to beat, it was the Beermen that they slaughtered, lucky for me as i escaped a sure lose if i have placed a bet for that game as surely i'm going for the Beermen.

Lucky for those ka-tropa who support and with them, finally they've got their first win and doing it with pride, beating an A-class super team and  not just that but also their main rival franchise, those bettors who loves taking risk, surely they'll be able to catch it up and enjoy their  profits.

Timing and entrusting what you think may happen, and the capabalities to move forward whatever the outcome.

Calvin Oftana was the man, and easily the best player in that game. Maybe this is exactly what TNT needed. They’ve got the momentum now heading into the next games, and beating SMB just gave their confidence a huge boost. Honestly, it might be the right time to bet on them in the next match.

Have won betting against the TNT Katropa on their first two games but with their performance against SMB, i think i would consider betting for them if ever the spread is not too high.

Games for today:

Blackwater vs ROS - Blackwater +8.5 @1.83, not so much analysis but the handicap is quite high so i'm going for the underdog.
NLEX - Ginebra - NLEX +6.5 @1.81, same with the above, hoping that the favorites would not cover the spread in case they will win.

I really thought they were going to win the game, but the 4th quarter turned into a massacre. The handicap looked safe for a while, but suddenly they collapsed in the 4th, and ROS even covered the spread.

Lucky for me, I grabbed ROS live to win by 11+, and the payout was sweet!

NLEX - Ginebra - NLEX +6.5 @1.81, same with the above, hoping that the favorites would not cover the spread in case they will win.

Good luck,  we are on the same page here.

[Russlenat]

Congrats @bisdak40! NLEX didn’t just cover the spread but they won the game straight up.

That 4th quarter run by Ginebra was scary though. Good thing Xyrus hit that clutch three to take back the lead. Then there was that wild scramble for the rebound that ended with Japeth last touching the ball.

That game was really meant for them. The winning streak lives on!

I really thought that Ginebra will be able to flip the game. There was so much lead by NLEX until that lead was covered up and tied by Ginebra. Scottie put so much energy when they were chasing the lead. It was an almost game over for the Ginebra but yeah, that three point by Xyrus did really it. A good fake pass but he got it. I think if Ginebra just did fouled too early and put it into penalty, they might have enough time to put an OT or win the game.

What a game but it's entitled for NLEX to win as even Gin kings tried to rally back at the end of the game it was NLEX who got that win, though there are chances where gin kings may able to force for an OT but things did not go that way as NLEX take that tough shot and regain the momentum, congrats to those who place bets for handicap expecially those who take that risky ML thats really a decent profits.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

Come back from a comeback
A real roller coaster game happened yesterday with GINKings vs NLEX.
At first, NLEX led GSM by 10 points which the Kings turned around and made a 17 points lead in the 3rd.
The a comeback from NLEX to win the game. Bolick is really awesome.

If you hit the +6 for Brgy Ginebra when NLEX led by 10
And +14 for Nlex when the Gin was leading with 17, you hit the Jackpot!

This is a tough job, kinda like playing the stock market. I actually tried it, but it didn’t work for me, it just made me greedy and led to mistakes.
In short, I’m not good with live betting.

But about the game between the Gin Kings, I had a feeling NLEX was going to upset them since NLEX is on a winning streak. So, they’re not a bad team after all.

Anyway, congrats to those who won! And looks like there might be a game tomorrow.

A very close game that I'd thought they'll win but they didn't. There were early challenge that have been conducted and that was on the 3rd quarter and Tim Cone was already hot on that. There's a huge lead by the NLEX and that's a good aggression from him. Tomorrow, I think everyone will bet for TNT against the Terrafirma. But how about the other match, it's going to be North Port and Meralco Bolts, maybe on Meralco?

[Japinat]

Tomorrow, I think everyone will bet for TNT against the Terrafirma.

After TNT beat SMB, there’s really no reason to think they’ll struggle now. Going up against a farm team and probably the worst team in the PBA right now, that should be an automatic win.

But how about the other match, it's going to be North Port and Meralco Bolts, maybe on Meralco?

This one’s pretty easy to analyze. NorthPort isn’t really known for defense, and they mostly rely on outside shooting. Meanwhile, Meralco is a defense-first team.

So my pick? TNT and Meralco are taking the win tomorrow. Might as well parlay that.

Well, the same thoughts as everyone is thinking about Terrafirma. And as said on this thread before, there's a likelihood the franchise team might be sold to a new owner and a rebranding of the team. But hopefully it won't be the same farm team.

Good luck with that and if you'll put that into parlay, let's see. I hope that you win with these two games tomorrow.
