Where to bet on the World Cup from the Philippines

1x2, to advance and totals

Betting on the World Cup is primarily done through moneyline markets, commonly called the 1x2. These markets focus on the full-time result at the end of the 90-minute game, plus any stoppage time added by the referee. Extra time and penalty shootouts do not matter to the 1x2 bettor. Instead, there is a separate "to advance" market that covers extra time and penalties. Another popular bet is on totals, commonly set at 2.5 goals, as scoring is typically low in soccer.

How 48 teams become 32

For the first time, 48 participating nations are split into 12 groups, with teams playing three group stage matches. The top two teams from each group, plus the eight best third-place teams, advance to a brand new Round of 32. No extra time is offered for any group-stage World Cup match.

Outrights and group tiebreaks

The most popular single futures market is the outright winner (who lifts the trophy). Two-team ties within the group go to whichever team won the head-to-head matchup. If a draw occurred, then goal differential in the group stage and total goals scored are invoked.

The price of each stage for an average team

Example. All 48 teams assumed equal and no margin. The matches add up to 104.
