ROS is s atreak stopper and they striked again. A close game but a big win for them, and since it's not played on unfamiliar venue, probably that was the reason why their shooting aren't that good. I heard from the commentators that it's played in Cagayan, so i guess we better be aware of the venue so we can spot this kind of opportunity.

It's automatic, I leaned on the Meralco on this one with the spread.
I was watching from unathorized stream but it keeps getting take down, so no choice but to just monitor on the score. maybe it's possible to watch it on local tv but since I'm quite busy with my online job now, I could not watch it.



In the last game, I also have TNT to win by 11+, actually had some parlay with Meralco with the same winning margin, so wish me luck for this risky bet.

Risky indeed but with the chemistry issue as the Beermen will be parading a new import, i think there's a chance that TNT would win with that margin. As for me i am just betting simply for TNT to win here, risky bet too as SMB's confodence is high following their win the other night against Ginebra Kings.

TNT -1.5 @1.89 vs Beermen

Good luck to us.

edit: seems no chemistry issue for SMB tonight as their new import is not yet player, still Aska as SMB's import for now.

It's gonna be fun since Romeo and Castro were playing on their respective teams. Now, the TNT would have a good point guard which will make the ball movement better, and it will be import vs import and as well know, it's RHJ would win most of the time.

I'm enjoying the game but i like to see TNT to take control of this game early.



Though it looks quetionable but I don't mind questioning it already since I've seen that many times. If this starts on a conversation about rigging a game, let's cut that now. Let's just say we bet on the wrong side, don't worry there's still the current game, we'll bounce back.

Damn, I noticed something, Trollana is already with the SMB! (hopefully he'll mess up the chemistry)

Guys, I wanna share with you the video I saw about the statement of Mac mac Cardona. I'm sure you all know that he was a PBA player before, and his statement is very negative, however it seem like it has reflect what is happening now.

According to him, the PBA players value now have dropped compared to the past, and that started when Kia and Blacktubig came in to the league. He said that there are players who are just paid 30k per month, and some are not even paid, just playing voluntarily waiting for an opportunity to get paid. So speaking of 30k, I think this is too low for a basketball pro playing in a popular league.

So, I like to hear some of your thoughts regarding this, you do think the PBA has been struggling already? And please share some possible reasons and its solutions base on your opinion.

No active PBA player would comment on that against the league as they will be fine, or worst will not be renewed. Before, we criticize our PBA players who leave PBA for overseas but it turns out it was the right decision. I've seen some vlogs about these players who are making good paycheck with their overseas teams, recently I heard that both Ravena Brothers are making good money in Japan, we are talking of millions of pesos per month here, and that's not even the salary of the best player in the PBA which is JMF. So if players who have a talent would stay in PH, that's wasting their opportunity, actually there are lots of players that has given offers but they choose to stay loyal, of course that's good because they add more entertainment value on the league but in general, PBA isn't so entertaining as before anymore, that's the sad truth.



This problem has been long existing but they decided to be greedy and allow the major team owners to dictate the leave, so they deserve what they are getting now.

PBA as a business. I don't think they are struggling. I personally think that it's more about the franchise owners and the way they handle their players. PBA survives as they are being paid decently by these two giant companies who continue to enjoy the privilege. I'm not bitter, but that's reality, it's been a while when good teams have already surrendered the competition against MVP and SMC, unlike before where we really witnessed competition against teams who are playing for pride and not just for the money.

PBA is struggling in terms of viewership and fans leaving the league and now enjoying other alternative leagues where they find competitions, like MBPL. I like the way Cardona share that sad reality with players who wanted to share their talent, but the team who brought  them in is not capable of providing the aid that supposedly deserves for those talents.

We might see them playing in another league or if, by chance, an offer overseas, they will be happy to grab that opportunity not to waste their talents and use them for much better financial stability.

They aren't struggling but in terms of profitability, the business is not anymore profitable because the audience they are expecting are not watching anymore. Specially now that Brownlee is injured, that's for sure would result to Ginebra missing the PBA Finals, unless the PBA will try to do some magic and make them reach there.


I think there should be a standard of salary, because if these two teams can't pay their players, they can only get a team that aren't competitive, which overall make the PBA not a balance league.

I agree with you, Bollick wasn't playing his usual game last time, so I'm sure they will make a huge adjustment this game.
IIRC, they were able to compete with the Meralco last game but only in the first half. It was a close contest after the first half but the big difference came in the 3rd quarter as Meralco outscored them big time, they only score 16 while Meralco had 33 points, that's a game changing that wasn't on their favor.


Why not just do a parlay? That way you will not miss the opportunity to bet. 

That's up to bisdak to decide, I'm just suggesting though in a form of question?


Magnolia are good in winning via blowout, and they are not happy with the outcome of their previous game as they lose to the ROS in a close game.

Prior to that, here are the results of the Magnolia Games.

Vs SMB, win by 4 points
Vs Bossing, win by 21 points
Vs NLEX, win by 27 points

Since DYIP is probably just on the same level with the current status of NLEX and Bossing, most likely Magnolia will win by 20 or more.
