OFFICIAL PBA 2010 FIESTA CUP THREAD

is this still up coz i'll go directly to philweb 

no. this isn't a win-draw-win bet. win-draw-win falls under match betting. outright means it could go beyond 90 mins. okay odds just changed to spain @ 1.55 and netherlands @ 2.48. to all those who were able to take advantage, good job

here's another one that might be worth a shot, highest scoring team netherlands @ 5.3, goal count is netherlands 12 germay 13, both team with 1 game to play.

may odds naba pba bukas?

PBA QUARTERFINALS - GAME 1

ALASKA vs. GINEBRA

The public obviously is on Ginebra (what's new) so i don't think the books gives a big plus on the Gin Kings although they do deserve to be the dogs on this one. i see a line of +2.5 for Gin come Friday and a possibility that it may even drop to 1.5 or 1.

As for the game... This is a rivalry with many sidestories: Baguio/Miller vs. Former Teams; Cone vs. Ginebra and some, obviously you may want to throw away the books on this one and expect split action when the money comes pouring in--- ideally, a perfect scenario for the bettors.

i give Alaska a slight advantage because they play better in the KO stages of the tournament. Ginebra is a well known slow-starter in series match-ups as well, if you are going to ride Alaska this is the better value out there.

Both of these teams sort of got their rhythm in the tail end of the eliminations as both still had fighting chances to get to the semis via the backdoor. Simply, TNT and SMB had created hefty leads with respect to W-L cards.

i'd like to put good money on the Aces but fearful of how the Gin guards are starting to build confidence. But Alaska is the better team here. With a thin spread i think they can cover this and win Game One.

Pick: Alaska-3 units (-3 is the limit, could pass or flip should books give Gins a higher plus)
Prediction: Alaska 88, Gin 80

Thanks for the info and good find. Congrats to whoever put money on the initial line :)

this one will be a close fight

PBA Quarterfinals (Best-of-Five)

After battling Coke a week ago, Rain or Shine had a chance for the quarters slot against Ginebra (LOSS); then they had to go through the wildcards anyway versus Air 21 (close affair) and Coke again (close affair) and came out the survivors in that round. So the question is will this young and unpredictable squad have enough against an established and defensive-squad like Derby Ace?

Let's take a quick look at their match-ups in the eliminations. In the second outing, BMEG drubbed ROS to the tune of 75-to-67 but ROS battled in the first losing only by 2 points in a close 86-84 win for BMEG. Clearly, BMEG has the capability of stopping the key players for Rain or Shine. If your remember the first game this was when BMEG had the healthy lead only to find Sol Mercado exploding for 45 points to lead a comeback! (BMEG had a 67-51 lead after 3 quarters)

The second game, BMEG did its assignment and contained the ROS star to a mere 9-point output.

If BMEG can duplicate a similar feat defensively, they should easily handle a tired, tired ROS team (Not to mention a probably distracted/emotional Mercado whose father had a heart attack in the States*)--- but if ROS can find a way to get their offense together, particularly that of Mercado, then we might see the Elasto Painters get a chance to steal game one.

It's worth to mention that Gabe Norwood has averaged 9.0 points and 3.5 rebounds against BMEG; on the same token that Jai Lewis logged in 14 points and 3 points in the pair of games. Will we see the same uninspired performance from Norwood? Or will new reinforcement Rod Nealy get frustrated a la Lewis as well?

You simply can not bet against a well-rested BMEG team which puts a premium on defense--- and scouting Sol for the past 3 games? That's just the deal-breaker for me.

Prediction: BMEG 81 ROS 72

Final bets:
Alaska (-2.5) 3 units
BMEG (-6) 2 units

My predictions are pretty close on both games:

ROS 83 - 89 BMEG
ALA 88 - 89 GIN

NCAA Friday
CSJL -11.5 vs UPHSD +10.5
JRU -6.5 vs AU+5.5


Again, they're my predicted lines.

early leans:

BMEG -5.5

GIN +1.5

cmm whats your ncaa leans

I hope I'm wrong with the LET vs UP game odds but I fancy Letran to win by double digits here. I hope we get a low line on this one.

uphd+6.5 only letran-7.5

Local released:

Letran-4.5 vs UP+3.5

Something ain't right here.

my  odds letran vs uphsd +6.5
letran is my play

cmm   is letran the rigth play

got uphds +6.5 here! go suck ass letran people :)) i think they are overated this season. they dont have the weapons anymore

I believe so.

Last season they were able to beat UP by 20points and 5points. Both teams have a new look on their roster and both teams cancels each other's speed. I think the edge goes to Letran here for their defense. I'm gambling here big time betting big on Letran. From their last two games, UP can really match up to Letran who have no true point guard. If UP can be patient with their shot and hold out on defense, I think they can sneak in a cover at best. I'm banking on the fact that MIT is almost the same with CSJL and they can perhaps mimick the first game where MIT downed UP by 14.

almost game time
took letran -6.5

anyone here know where i can watch the game online or at least get updates?
