2025 PBA Governor's Cup

2nd game is an interesting game.

It's TNT the streaking team vs SMB
TNT is favored -3.5

By the way, they will play at Ninoy Aquino Stadium. i included the venue as that's relevant when you are analyzing the total of this game ( over/under).

It's not the SMB that will be playing tonight kabayan, it is the Ginebra San Miguel but it is stll interesting though as this game is a must win for both teams to get a solid spot on the final four. I'm rooting for the TNT here to continue their winning streak.

Sorry, I meant Ginebra, hehe. Anyway, I’ve already placed my bets. I have a parlay: under 181 for the first game and under 183 for the second. I got a bit lucky with the first game, it looked like it was going to go over, but it stayed under, so now I just need one more game to win the parlay. I’m also taking Ginebra to win with the 2.52 moneyline.

Congrats in advance kabayan, seems that all of your bets are going to win. Very low scoring ballgame between the TNT and Ginebra while the Katropa is struggling to get their points as of this writing. Ginebra is leading by a big 20 point margin  at the moment.

Got a good night - everything went right mate.

Both games went under, and Ginebra won in dominant fashion. This is what you call a win streak. I guess it was a reality check for TNT. Even though they were on a 6-game winning streak, it’s clear they still have issues with their interior defense as Japeth absolutely dominated them.

I heard it was an elimination game, with that win Ginebra will climb the ladder and would be in a twice to beat advantage.

That's a good catch for kabayan Japinat as all his bets won, the 2nd game pick that have a decent odd for Gin kings was well-covered as they dominated the game against TNT, defense and offense are being executed well by the Gin kings as they limit TNT's offensive attacks and manage to convert their offense in the other side, congrats kabayan you nailed a decent profits have some beers with Pulutan kabayan!

Game day today!

NLEX vs Northport and SMB vs Converge.

For the first game, I think it’s pretty much a given - NLEX should win, but I’m not sure if they’ll cover the spread since it’s at –14.5. That’s a pretty high number. NLEX already secured the top spot, so if this game doesn’t mean much for them, they might just take it easy.

For the second game, I find it more interesting to watch. I’m leaning towards betting on Converge to win.. I like their moneyline odds at 2.78.

-14.5 is too big, but the Northport is really facing a problem with their roster. I will definitely bet for the NLEX, but the odds is the big problem.
while for my favorite team SMB, i will bet for them regardless of the odds

Ill just do SMB and
a multi bet of NLEX moneyline + SMB

Combining favorites may increase your potential earnings as you said you are good with your SMB bet and in terms of potential with NLEX they've got the upper hand and if they succeed beating NP then it will adds up just need to wait for your SMB bet and if luck permits then collect decent amount of profits, Good luck Kabayan!

Wow, NorthPort is up by 10 points going into the final quarter. I have placed a bet for NorthPort +14.5 as i thought that the Batang Pier could make this game close but surprisingly they took the lead, hope they can sustain this one but my bet is a sure win for now hehe.

For the second game i have SMB -5.5 @1.87, must win for SMB so they will not complicate their standings.

edit: SMB down by 16 big points, not a good sign for my bet.

They'll able to take the lead last 3minutes of the game but converge managed to bounce back and rally till the end of the game to take the win completely, SMB failed to answer back after that run not a good one for you kabayan, though you still got your win with NP as they managed to upset NLEX, 1-1  for today's bets kabayan..

Break-even lang kabayan, baka swertehin ngayong araw na to.

We have two games for today:

Phoenix vs Blackwater - Phoenix -5.5 @1.93, though non-bearing for both teams but i still believed that Phoenix will win this one.

Magnolia vs TNT - Magnolia -1.5 @1.90, TNT struggled in their last game against Ginebra that is why i'm going against them for tonight's ballgame.

Tough call kabayan! no bearing means it's up to both coaches if how they'll going to play their players, knowing both teams there's an edge for Phoenix might be possible that they'll be able to overrun their opponents though like what I've said the game will be define if how coach will play their stars, let see if who's in and who's out in this no bearing first game..

I like your Mags pick, TNT still struggling still unstable in terms of executing their system especially in terms of offensive exectuions..

Good luck Kabayan!

Can't find the games on Betpanda unfortunately so I guess I'll just put my bet on the 2nd game.

I'm not watching PBA games that much anymore, but it's still surprising to see teams like NLEX being on the top of the standings and Converge at the 5th spot. Don't get me wrong though because I've always wanted to see these teams alongside ROS to be on the playoffs still, but we know that these teams will just get eliminated first during the playoffs. I'm not saying that it will happen again, but it happens ALL THE TIME. I'll just put my bet on the 2nd game, and maybe I'll go with Magnolia as well, but putting your bet during the games sometimes is better.

Good luck in our bets as always.

And you hit both of the teams you picked - big win tonight kabayan!

As for me, I was only able to bet on the second game. I took the under 184.5 on TNT vs Magnolia, and I won too.
Looks like we both got lucky tonight..

Congrats to both of you Kabayans, nice catch with your respective picks especially bisdak who managed to win all his picks today, it's awesome since he took the risk with that no bearing game which most of the time coaches bench their stars and allow the game to flow to whatever directions the players will dictate, seems the outcome favored kabayan's bisdak side 😀

Talking about tomorrow’s game between Ginebra and ROS, Ginebra’s twice-to-beat advantage is on the line.

SCENARIOS: Ginebra can still lose twice-to-beat if this happens

BARANGAY Ginebra is closing in on obtaining a twice-to-beat advantage in the PBA 49th Season Philippine Cup, based on scenarios heading into the final day of eliminations on Sunday.

However, there is still a slight chance that the Gin Kings could lose out on a twice-to-beat advantage - if it isn’t careful in their tiff against Rain or Shine.

A win by Ginebra against Rain or Shine will secure a twice-to-beat advantage for the two-time Season 49 runner-up.

Considering that, I’m now more inclined to back Ginebra to beat ROS.
The current spread is –5.5 for the Gin Kings.

[Russlenat]

There’s a rumor going around that Mikey Williams might not be able to play for Converge, since it looks like they haven’t come to an agreement yet, even though Heading was already traded to TNT. It seems like TNT just passed their problem on to Converge. If this turns out to be true, it’s going to be a big problem for Converge.

money problem again.

MONEY - WHAT ELSE - IS APPARENTLY THE DEAL-BREAKER.
"He's asking for too much," a separate source told SPIN.ph while throwing around the princely sum of $30,000 a month.

He might not paly kabayan because Converge did not agree on his $30k per month asking price. It is better for the PBA teams right now to boycott this kind of player as this only cause chaos on the teams involves in the trade. I'm just curious on why Mikey Williams did not join the Japan B-league where he could easily get that amount he is asking on the PBA as he is a talented player.

$30,000 a month for a player that's very unprofessional like him? If I'm the owner of Converge I will not also agree with that amount of salary.

Speaking of this, I've also seen online that Jordan Heading is going the same route as Williams as well. I mean he will ask for a higher salary on Converge after his contract that's why they decided to trade him on TNT. I saw rumors that Heading will try to play overseas again after his contract ends. As for Williams, correct me, but Converge doesn't need him at all. Okay yes, he's a great scorer and can score over 25+ points at a given night, but to demand a salary that high knowing how unprofessional he is? It would be better for Converge to just develop their current players... then give it to bigger teams.

Kidding aside, I hope Converge will let him walk away. Williams didn't play for a long time in the PBA, and he also didn't try to play overseas hence, going back to PBA like any team still wants him to be on their team.

If they can agree on the salary, it would be a big boost for Converge since Williams can really play,  he led TNT to multiple championships before, so he could do the same with Converge, especially since the team already has a strong lineup, particularly with their bigs who are still young and not injury-prone. They need someone like Williams who can attack and is a great three-point shooter.

But if Converge is already satisfied with their current roster, then they’ll be fine even without Williams.

If they can.. then yeah Williams can give them additional boost knowing his capabilities though still a question in how coaches will handle his attitude and how he'll be able to blend with his new teammates if ever the deal will be close, though the decision still depends in how Converge will manage to close the deal, either to bring that huge amount to William's camp, or,  if they'll continue developing their squad and keep them as it is to be more competitive.
