TMTPlay Sports Betting | Betting on Soccer and Basketball in the Philippines

The Philippine sports betting scene is fairly popular as it provides bettors with alternative betting options instead of just setting with the standard casino card games and slot machines. The most popular sports betting option available is football or soccer betting; not the American football version.

TMTPlay is powered by a single sportsbook, SVSport, so the betting options are limited. Soccer is the most popular sport worldwide and the sportsbook focuses on this sport more than the others. As such, only soccer has the most betting odds available with other sports mostly having moneyline odds and limited betting markets.

Even with the limited nature of sports betting available, bettors will still have access to several betting options.

Live Sports Betting

Live sports betting is a popular sports betting option as sports bettors will be able to monitor the odds of different matches live and see how they change. If they watch the game through a sports channel or a live streaming service, then they can compare the current situation with the current odds and make educated guesses on the outcome of the match.

Parlay betting is only possible through live betting so players who want to try and get lucky with parlays ought to bet on live matches. Also, keep in mind that the available betting markets are limited in live sports betting.

Parlay Betting

Parlays bets are accumulated bets placed with one betting slip. This allows bettors to bet on multiple matches and multiply the odds to increase the final potential payout. As parlays are only available in live bets, the betting markets are limited to the following:

The markets covered by first half are far easier than the full-time ones, unless the bettor knows full well how a match will likely end. First half markets tend to have lower odds than their full-time counterparts.

Unlike in other sportsbooks, parlays in SVSport are only available in live betting so bettors won’t be able to take advantage of easier markets like the Double Chance to stack odds. This is bad because these easy-to-win bets are unavailable for parlays so it’s harder to win multiple bets when using other markets and a single loss results in the entire bet losing.

Outright Betting

Outright betting is betting on the outcome of an entire event, whether it’s the winner of an entire league, group winner, gold medal winner, and more. The odds for the betting options here tend to fluctuate after each match as other teams or players are taken out of the event or as the likelihood of a team winning or losing changes after each match. Favorites can end up losing to league underdogs, allowing staunch supporters to win big from the high odds previously assigned to the underdog.

Outright betting odds tend to be higher the longer the league is and the odds for favorites gradually decrease as the league goes on while clear losers will be assigned higher odds up to the 300s to indicate the unlikelihood of them winning and/or enticing gullible players to bet on them.

Different Sports Betting Markets to Bet On

SVSport offers odds for several different betting markets, with most of them being only available in soccer matches. Some of the different betting markets available are the following:

1X2

1X2 is the standard betting market available for both early and live betting. This market is all about who the winner of a match is and the name itself means the following:

Other sports instead have 2-way moneyline when they don’t allow for draw outcomes thanks to overtime or other game mechanics.

Double Chance

Double Chance is a betting market similar to 1X2 except that it covers two outcomes per bet. The different bets are as follows:

This bet allows bettors to win regardless if one team or another wins or if their team wins or a draw occurs. Because this bet is easier to win in than the standard 1X2 and 2-way moneyline markets, the odds here are lower. Unfortunately, this bet is unavailable in live betting and so is unavailable in parlays.

Handicap

The Handicap market is mainly a 1X2 betting market where the sportsbook assigns a positive or negative score to particular teams. Favorites end up with negative scores to only allow bets on them to win after winning a match against the underdog with a score taking into account the negative modifier initially assigned to it. The underdog has a better chance of winning because of the positive modifier assigned to them, as long as the favorite doesn’t win a match while also overtaking the initial score modifier.

When the favorite is assigned a -2 score and the underdog a +2 and the match ends with the favorite winning 3-2, then the underdog still wins.

Over/Under

Over/Under is a points-based betting market where the only important outcome is whether a match ends over or under a certain threshold. Because the winner is irrelevant in this market, bettors who know whether the teams are high scoring or not can bet on the matches and win fairly easily.

Odd/Even

The Odd/Even market is another points-based betting market but is instead a more 50/50 betting market that Over/Under since high scores can still end up with odd or even scores. As such, this is more difficult to win in than over/under.
