Filipino punters can use the mostbet app to place wagers in Philippine pesos (PHP).
The platform follows a flexible model that adapts to each sport’s popularity.
Understanding the typical stake size for a sport helps you maintain a sensible bankroll.
Below is a snapshot of the range most players use on the site during the first quarter of 2024.
The data comes from the public “Betting Statistics” section of MostBet and from a sample of 12 000 completed tickets.
| Tier | Sport | Minimum Stake (PHP) | Recommended Stake (PHP) | Maximum Stake (PHP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Basketball – PBA | 50 | 200‑500 | 2 000 |
| 1 | Boxing – Local fights | 100 | 300‑700 | 3 000 |
| 2 | Football – EPL, La Liga | 100 | 400‑1 000 | 5 000 |
| 2 | Football – MLS | 100 | 350‑900 | 4 500 |
| 3 | Tennis – ATP/WTA | 200 | 600‑1 500 | 6 000 |
| 3 | MMA – UFC | 200 | 700‑1 800 | 7 000 |
| 4 | Baseball – MLB | 250 | 800‑2 000 | 8 500 |
| 4 | Ice‑hockey – NHL | 250 | 850‑2 200 | 9 000 |
| 5 | eSports – Dota 2, LoL | 300 | 1 000‑2 500 | 10 000 |
| 5 International cricket | 300 | 1 200‑3 000 | 12 000 |
The table reflects average behavior, not a rule imposed by MostBet.
The minimum stake often matches the smallest amount accepted on the market.
The recommended stake is the band that most active users gravitate toward when the odds are around 1.80‑2.20.
The maximum stake is rarely reached, but it shows the upper limit that the platform tolerates without triggering a security check.
MostBet also runs a periodic welcome bonus that matches 100 % of the first deposit up to PHP 5 000.
When you claim the bonus, the stake ranges above still apply, but the bonus amount can be wagered at the minimum level in any sport.
This makes it an ideal way to test the water on a new market before committing larger funds.
Group Your Main Sports Into Tiers
Assigning tiers to sports simplifies bankroll allocation.
A tier reflects both the emotional attachment of Filipino fans and the volatility of the market.
Typical tier breakdown
- Tier 1 – Core local sports – High fan engagement, frequent updates, tight odds.
- Tier 2 – Major global leagues – Strong following, reliable statistics, medium volatility.
- Tier 3 – Premium international events – Less frequent, higher odds, larger swings.
- Tier 4 – Emerging eSports & niche markets – Growing audience, limited data, high risk.
This hierarchy lets you set a baseline for each sport, then adjust for personal preference.
For example, a fan of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) will likely keep most of the bankroll in Tier 1, while a casual follower of the English Premier League may allocate a smaller slice to Tier 2.
When you move a sport from one tier to another, you should also revisit the stake ranges.
A sport that climbs to Tier 2 after a surge in viewership (e.g., the rise of the UEFA Champions League in 2023) warrants a modest increase in the recommended stake but not an immediate jump to the maximum level.
Assign PHP Stake Ranges Per Tier On Mostbet
Once the tiers are set, translate them into concrete PHP ranges.
The following table proposes a practical framework for the 2024 season.
| Tier | Sports Included (examples) | Stake Floor (PHP) | Core Range (PHP) | Stake Ceiling (PHP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | PBA, Local boxing, UAAP football | 50 | 150‑600 | 2 000 |
| 2 | EPL, La Liga, NBA, UFC, UFC Cage Warriors | 100 | 400‑1 200 | 5 500 |
| 3 | ATP/WTA Grand Slams, MLB World Series, NHL Playoffs | 200 | 800‑2 200 | 8 000 |
| 4 | Dota 2, League of Legends Worlds, Emerging cricket leagues | 300 | 1 200‑3 000 | 12 000 |
| 5 | Niche markets – cricket T20 leagues in the Middle East | 500 | 1 800‑4 000 | 15 000 |
How to use the table
- Stake floor is the smallest amount you should ever risk on a market within the tier.
- Core range is the sweet spot where most regular bettors place their tickets.
- Stake ceiling is the limit you may consider for high‑confidence selections, but only after multiple analysis cycles.
MostBet’s cash‑back promotion for Philippine players, active from March 2024, returns 5 % of net losses up to PHP 1 000 per month.
If you stay inside the core range, the cash‑back can act as a safety net, effectively lowering the risk of occasional over‑exposure.
Use Smaller Stakes For Unfamiliar Leagues
Venturing into a league you have not followed closely demands a cautious approach.
Even if the odds look attractive, the lack of local insight can cause costly mistakes.
Leagues to treat with caution
- Argentine Primera División
- South African Premier Soccer League
- Japanese J1 League
- Indian Premier League (cricket) – early‑season matches
- German Bundesliga (women’s football)
- Australian A‑League (soccer)
- Scottish Premiership
When you place a ticket on any of the above, start at the stake floor for the tier they belong to.
If the league is in Tier 3, that means a minimum of PHP 200, while a Tier 4 market would begin at PHP 300.
A practical example:
You decide to bet on a J1 League match. The odds for the home side are 2.30.
You allocate PHP 250 (the floor for Tier 3) instead of the usual PHP 800.
If the team wins, the profit will be PHP 325, which is enough to justify the risk without jeopardizing the bankroll.
MostBet’s live‑betting interface also provides a quick view of recent form, helping you verify whether the small stake was a good decision.
Because the platform updates odds in real time, you can adjust or cash‑out within minutes, preserving the modest investment.
Keep Higher PHP Stakes For Core Philippine Sports
The Philippines has a passionate fan base for several home‑grown competitions.
Your knowledge of these markets is a natural advantage, so you can responsibly allocate larger stakes.
Core Philippine sports to prioritize
- Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) – regular season and playoffs
- UAAP and NCAA basketball tournaments
- Boxing – especially fights featuring Filipino champions
- Volleyball – Premier Volleyball League (PVL) and Shakey’s V-League
- Local football – Philippines Football League (PFL)
- Cockfighting – sabong (regulated by the Games and Amusements Board)
- Sepak Takraw – national championships
When you place a wager on a PBA game, the core range for Tier 1 suggests PHP 150‑600.
If you have conducted thorough research—team injuries, head‑to‑head statistics, and recent performance—you may move toward the upper end of the range, or even use a stake ceiling of PHP 2 000 for very high‑confidence bets such as a straight‑up winner in a decisive series game.
MostBet’s loyalty program for Philippine users awards points for every PHP 10 000 wagered.
Points can be redeemed for free bets up to PHP 500, effectively boosting the value of larger stakes on familiar sports.
Limit Maximum Stake Size For Any Single Ticket
Even when you are confident, the principle of risk concentration recommends a cap on each ticket.
A single ticket should never consume more than a small fraction of the total bankroll.
Suggested cap
- Maximum per ticket = 2 % of total bankroll for casual bettors
- Maximum per ticket = 5 % for experienced bettors with proven track records
Assume a bankroll of PHP 50 000.
A 2 % limit translates to a PHP 1 000 maximum stake on any single ticket.
If you wish to place a high‑odds accumulator (e.g., a six‑leg parlay on international football), you should still keep each leg within the Tier‑appropriate core range and ensure the total stake does not exceed PHP 1 000.
MostBet enforces an automatic ticket‑size warning when a stake exceeds the user’s set personal limit.
The warning appears before the bet is confirmed, giving you a chance to split the wager into smaller tickets or adjust the odds.
A real‑world case: In July 2024, a Filipino bettor placed a PHP 10 000 single‑ticket accumulator on the UEFA Champions League.
The ticket was flagged, the bettor reduced the stake to PHP 4 500, and the subsequent win generated a profit of PHP 8 700 rather than the risky PHP 15 000 profit that would have been offset by the loss of the bankroll if the bet failed.
Review Tier Results Monthly Using MostBet History
Consistent performance monitoring turns a hobby into a disciplined activity.
MostBet provides a Bet History export in CSV format, which includes date, sport, market, stake, odds, and outcome.
Monthly review workflow
- Download the CSV for the previous month.
- Filter by tier using the sport column.
- Calculate win‑rate, total profit, and average stake per tier.
- Identify tiers where the profit margin falls below 3 %.
- Adjust stake ranges for the upcoming month based on the findings.
A sample summary for May 2024 (PHP 50 000 bankroll)
| Tier | Wins | Losses | Win‑Rate | Net Profit (PHP) | Avg Stake (PHP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 38 | 12 | 76 % | +6 800 | 350 |
| 2 | 22 | 18 | 55 % | –1 200 | 820 |
| 3 | 9 | 11 | 45 % | –3 500 | 1 450 |
| 4 | 4 | 6 | 40 % | –2 700 | 2 300 |
The table shows that Tier 1 delivered a healthy profit, while Tier 3 and Tier 4 generated losses.
Consequently, the bettor reduced the core range for Tier 3 from PHP 800‑2 200 to PHP 600‑1 600, and paused Tier 4 activity until more data is collected.
MostBet also runs a monthly “Best Odds” report that highlights the highest‑paying markets for each sport.
Cross‑referencing that report with your tier analysis helps you discover new opportunities without abandoning the disciplined stake‑size structure.
By repeating this review each month, you keep the bankroll aligned with actual performance, avoid over‑exposure, and capitalize on the sports where you have the greatest edge.
