Football Betting Sites for Filipino Fans

These are the bet types most punters here start with at the betting bookmakers we cover.

• 1X2: back the home side (1), a draw (X) or the visitors (2).
• Double Chance: one slip covers two of the three results, so the options are 1X, X2 and 12. The odds are lower because you lose only on the third result. Our 1X2 vs double chance example puts the two side by side in pesos.
• Over/Under: pick whether the total goals land above or below the line the book sets, usually 2.5.
• Goalscorer: first, last or anytime scorer, with a price on each player.

Each of these is on our list above. Here is what each one does well on football.

22Bet

22Bet covers a lot of sports, but football is clearly its main event: it has the longest market list of any sport on the site.

Some habits that save money once you're past the basics.

• Wait for the confirmed line-up (about an hour before kick-off), then check the weather and recent form.
• Props pay more because they're harder to hit, so keep the stakes small. 
• Practice in-play betting on small stakes until you can read how the odds move.

Here are the competitions this page covers, starting with the local ones.

• Philippines Football League and the Azkals. The PFL is our top flight, with clubs like Kaya–Iloilo, and the Copa Paulino Alcantara is the domestic cup. Not every book prices PFL games, so look under Philippines in the football menu before match day. The national team, the Azkals, plays in the AFF Championship and the Asian Cup qualifiers, and its best FIFA ranking is 111th, reached in 2018 (ESPN).
• English Premier League. It has the deepest markets and the most price movement. It runs from August to May, and a 3 pm UK kick-off starts at 10 pm or 11 pm Manila time, depending on UK summer time.
• FIFA World Cup. It comes round every four years, and it is the one tournament that fills Pinoy barkada chats with football talk. The markets open months before the first match.
• La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1. These are the other big European leagues. Their late kick-offs land in the early hours here, so pre-match bets work better than live ones.

Big football matches are priced so tightly that the gap between books is small, but it adds up over a season. These three are where we'd start.

• 1xBet: sharp prices across nearly every sport, football included.
• Melbet: good on both local and international fixtures.
• PNXBET: accepts crypto and carries a very long list of football markets.
