2026 PBA Governor's Cup

it will be much better for NLEX backer to take their side and place their bets. Good luck mga kabayan!

Definitely, at the current score NLEX should already be around x3 odds, and that’s a good return if they really manage to come back and win.

After all, both teams are on winning streaks, so this should not just end as a one sided beatdown. NLEX will still fight back and they’ll definitely try to steal the win.

[Maslate]

I feel like I’d rather just focus on the total instead. Right now I’m thinking under on this game.

You will win if you took the under because this is a low scoring game. There were only 80 points in the first half, while the total for the game is 206, so both teams would need to combine for 127 points in the second half just to go over. With how this game is going, that looks very unlikely, even if it somehow reaches overtime.

NLEX is down by 10 points, so this could also be a good chance for people who still believe they can come back.
The odds are now at 3.55 ml, while the handicap is +7.5.

[Russlenat]

The odds are now at 3.55 ml, while the handicap is +7.5.

This is a winner, but ML was way better. That was a huge comeback by NLEX, and that last shot by rookie Gonzales killed the chance of a possible double overtime.

NLEX really looks like a good team now, especially in the 4th quarter. And now with Bolick, Winston, and this newly discovered rookie, who will surely get more minutes after that shot, this team looks for real.

Even though their coach got thrown out of the game, this was still a nice gift for him. Congrats to NLEX and to the backers. Bisdak (+), and mirakal for your under bet.

Wow, I did not finished watching the game as I was in the impression that after that complain by Bollick in the first half the ref will continue to favor Meralco, but to my surprise NLEX managed to comeback and snatch the game, congrats mga kabayan especially to those who take the big risk picking the ML.

Same here kabayan, i stopped watching the game when the Road Warriors were down 17 points as i thought that it was already money in the bag for the Bolts. I just watch the highlights when i saw in my social media feed that the Road Warriors win that game. Man, that was classic and it feels like it was in the playoffs already and those bombs released by Bolick and Gonzales were massive. It only shows how important Robert Bolick here in the current lineup of the Road Warriors as he is a good court general and with that win they sits solo in the second spot behind ROS.

Yes kabayan, that's a leadership that Berto shows up, though he really got pissed during the first half but he used that to feel that pressure and be inspire to rally back and force the game then win it, NLEX is now developing their chemistries, with Winston also I almost forget together with Gonzales and their reinforcement they've got all the pieces they need to take this game, congrats again mga kabayan!

Ginebra vs DYIP is live right now, and so far Ginebra already has a comfortable lead.
Against a weak team like this, I won’t be surprised if Ginebra ends up with another blowout win.

Brownlee may be the smaller import, but he is still very effective, and with how many bigs the Gin Kings have, I’m pretty sure they’ll be able to contain or at least limit the DYIP import. That team started well before, but now they are showing their real level. They just keep struggling.

Ginebra won, but they didn’t cover the spread as Terrafirma was able to make a run in the last quarter.

The game ended with just a single digit win for the Gin Kings.

I did not check the betting odds, but my best guess on this matchup was that Ginebra should have been at least -10 minimum.

This site below made a prediction..

https://www.sportytrader.com/en/betting-tips/barangay-ginebra-san-miguel-kia-picanto-343321/

Terrafirma Dyip's tough spell continued in their last game and another difficult clash awaits. They have suffered mostly wide-margin losses in recent encounters with Barangay Ginebra San Miguel. Hence, our tip for Barangay Ginebra San Miguel to cover the spread. Our Barangay Ginebra San Miguel vs Terrafirma Dyip prediction is Barangay Ginebra San Miguel –10.0 handicap.

But the game ended with Ginebra winning by only 8 points, 111-103.

Looks like it was a trap, because Ginebra already sat their starters early, and even Justin Brownlee got his rest early too. That gave Terrafirma Dyip a chance to make a little comeback in the game. In the end they still lost, but it was enough for them to cover the handicap.

It was, and the manipulation vibe was still there. You’d think Ginebra would easily handle that game since they were up against a farm team, but it turned out Terrafirma was even more competitive than expected.

I also read some comments saying Terrafirma is a farm team of SMB, so that’s why some people think there might have been some script in that game. Of course that’s still just a rumor, but with how the game went, I can understand why people would think that way.

There's no proven evidence that the game is manipulated even how clear it was if you are watching how the game went thru, Hahaha similar to what you said kabayan, it seems that it's a strategy or part of the system where you'll need to rest your starters to avoid any possible injuries, but for gamblers it should be an easy win if gin kings keeps their stars to finished the game! Handicap might be for the backers and not for the risk takers.

Of course there’s none, because they control the league. If there really was one and it got exposed, the league should have already stopped by now.

But if they ever catch someone, they can always just put the blame on the refs or the players, so the league itself can still come out looking clean. And sometimes they probably won’t even make it public because that would only damage the reputation of the league.

So it’s really not surprising that until now, even though the PBA is one of the oldest leagues in Asia, we are still far behind when it comes to development.

I don't believe in scripted games in the PBA, that game between Ginebra vs Terrafirma is just normal i mean the Gin Kings were up comfortably by double digit just few minutes before the time expire and seldom that they came across that scenario so they rested Justine Brownlee because those players don't know that we were betting for them to win more than 10 points against Terrafirma, it's just unfortunate that we lost our bet but for me that is just part of the game.

We have an exciting game tonight between the Road Warriors and the Beermen. SMB were placed as the favorite going into this game tonight but i think the Road Warriors is a live underdog and let us remember that they are not sitting on the second place of the standings for nothing so i'm backing them to win tonight or at least make the game as close as possible.

Agree to that, chances is too small and if ever they've got exposed they can always put a blame to someone to make sure that what's they are doing will continue and their business will not be stopped, fans and gamblers have no options but to accept the fact that manipulation can be done and there's nothing that can stopped it to happen if those people behind wanted it to happen.

Last night SMB did not cover the +7 vs the NLEX, sorry for those bettor like me 
Boatwright is back and with his fire power we can see SMB back to winning line.

About the second game, Magnolia manage to win the game with huge deficit. Now I am asking if the Magnolia became one of the strongest team climbing on the top or the converge is really a team with a big problem. They have a roster with so many starplayers yet they are still struggling.

I kinda expect that first game to be close and even expect that NLEX would pull an upset on the Beermen because Junemar Fajardo is not 100% healthy while Boatwright may be adjusting but kudos to them as they managed to win a very close game. The second game is quite a surprise for me as i expect Converge to put a good fight against the Hotshot but it seems that they are just another farm team in the PBA the way they are playing last night. Mikey Williams only scored 2 points which way below expectation. I think Converge has internal problem right now and the antics of Abueva during games only adds to the team's misery .

I would have bet on NLEX in that game if I was able to place one, but sadly I was busy so I missed that opportunity.
NLEX has been playing really good basketball, and I think they’re still being underrated, that’s why it has been easier to win when backing them.
Last time they won from behind, this time it didn’t happen, but at least they still covered the spread.

Not the strongest, I think, because they had some struggles early on. But let’s see in the playoffs if they can really compete against the strongest teams.

My honest thought though, I don’t think they’ll make it to the semis yet, they still look like intro boys to me.

ROS winning streak is over, and it was Phoenix who broke it.

This was probably the worst game from the ROS import, I don’t think he even scored 10 points. Their shooting was really awful, and even though they had a big lead after the half, Phoenix still managed to come back in the 2nd half despite the foul trouble of their import.

So this one was really meant for them, and now no team in the PBA remains undefeated.

Congrats to those who took the + side, especially the moneyline bettors.

I didn't watch the game kabayan, just saw it on a social media post that ROS lose the game today though they still rank first but they are no longer undefeated, not sure what happened but congrats to all our kabayan who take risk for Phoenix both ML and handicap that's a great bet to cashout.

Agree on that Abueva's part kabayan, his old antics may add burden to the current situation I don't know if it's the management or there's something inside that really needs to discuss or to change up, well it's business for sure there's a way if there's a will.

That’s expected from Calvin, he really hasn’t changed, even after being suspended before. But the more he acts like that, the more it feels like he’s just upset because the team that was supposed to perform well, which is now his team, is struggling like a farm team.

So I guess they are already eliminated now? Another big issue there is really Williams. I think they got too hyped on him, but maybe he’s just not the right fit for the team, or maybe he’s simply not the same player anymore.
