Bet Types

Common Wager Types Filipino Players Use on 88ph

From simple win-or-lose picks to live in-play markets — here are the key betting formats available on the platform.

Moneyline Bets

A moneyline bet is the simplest wager available on 88ph — you pick which team or player you think will win a match outright, with no point spread involved. Odds are displayed as a decimal or fractional value that tells you how much you stand to win relative to your stake in Philippine pesos. For example, a team priced at 1.80 means a ₱100 bet returns ₱180 in total if your pick wins, giving you ₱80 in profit. Moneyline markets are available across basketball, football, boxing and other sports that Filipino fans follow closely. This bet type is ideal for players who are just starting out on 88ph because the outcome is straightforward — one side wins and the other does not. Visit the Sports page for an overview of all available match categories where moneyline odds are offered.

Point Spread Wagering

Point spread betting adds a handicap to level the playing field between a favoured team and an underdog, making both sides roughly equal in terms of the implied chance of winning your bet. On 88ph, the spread is shown alongside the odds so you can see exactly how many points a team needs to win by — or how many points they can lose by — for your wager to be settled as a winner. This format is particularly popular in basketball betting among Filipino players following PBA and NBA games, where margins of victory are frequently discussed. Reading the spread correctly before placing a bet is important — if the spread is -5.5 on the favourite, they must win by 6 or more points for your bet to pay out. The FAQ page explains spread betting terminology in more detail with worked examples tailored for Filipino bettors.

Over/Under Totals

Over/under betting on 88ph lets you wager on the combined total score of a match rather than picking a winner, which appeals to Filipino fans who enjoy high-scoring basketball games. The platform sets a total line — say, 210.5 points in an NBA game — and you choose whether the final combined score will be over or under that number. This bet type removes the need to predict which team wins and focuses purely on how many points, goals or runs are scored in aggregate across both sides. Over/under markets are available for basketball, football and selected other sports throughout the season. Because you are betting on the pace and scoring style of a game rather than the outcome, it is a useful format for fans who follow statistics and team trends closely.

Live In-Play Betting

Live in-play betting on 88ph allows Filipino players to place wagers while a match is already in progress, with odds updating in real time as the game develops. This means you can react to what you are watching — a team going on a scoring run, a key player picking up fouls, or a game turning in the final quarter — and place a bet that reflects the current state of play. In-play markets are available for basketball and football matches and are accessible directly from a mobile browser without needing to download any app. Odds move quickly during live betting so it is worth deciding on your stake before the market refreshes, especially on fast-paced games like basketball. Check the Sports page to see which live markets are currently offered and which competitions are covered in the live betting section.

No — the entire 88ph betting experience is designed to work in your existing mobile browser without any app download or installation. The platform is optimised for smaller screens so the sports market list, bet slip and deposit form are all clearly laid out on Android and iOS devices. Filipino players on Globe, Smart and DITO connections can access the platform over standard LTE without needing a high-speed connection for most pre-match betting markets. Live in-play odds do refresh more frequently, so a stable connection is helpful when using that feature.

If a match is postponed, abandoned or cancelled, the platform's settlement rules determine whether bets are voided or carried over — these rules are outlined in the Terms and Conditions.
