About Racing
Why 88bon is the Best Racing Platform in the Philippines
Racing betting has a long tradition in the Philippines. From the old Manila Jockey Club days to modern provincial tracks like those in Cavite, Filipinos have always loved the thrill of watching horses thunder down the home stretch. But traditional on-track betting is limited — you need to physically be at the venue, races run only on specific days, and payout queues can stretch for hours.
88bon changes all that. Our racing platform brings live horse racing and greyhound racing from tracks around the world directly to your smartphone or laptop. Bet on races from the UK, Australia, South Africa, Hong Kong, Dubai, and more — all from your home in Quezon City, your office in Makati, or even while on vacation in Boracay. Races run 24/7, covering multiple time zones, so there's always live action available.
We offer win, place, show, exacta, trifecta, and superfecta bets with competitive odds updated in real time. Deposit via GCash or Maya in seconds, watch the race live streamed in HD quality, and if your horse crosses the finish line first, your winnings are credited to your 88bon wallet instantly — no manual claims, no paperwork, no delays. Cash out to your GCash account within minutes and your money is ready to use.
Whether you're a seasoned punter who knows every horse's form or a casual bettor placing a ₱100 win bet for fun, 88bon provides the tools, transparency, and speed that modern Filipino racing fans expect. PAGCOR-regulated, locally supported, and built for mobile — this is racing betting done right.

Understanding Bets
Racing Bet Types at 88bon
88bon supports all standard racing wagers from simple win bets to complex multi-leg exotics. Here's what each bet type means.
Straight Bets (Single Selection)
Your selection must finish 1st. Highest payout but also the riskiest. Example: ₱100 on Horse #5 to win pays out if Horse #5 finishes first.
Your selection must finish 1st or 2nd. Lower payout than win but better odds of collecting. Example: ₱100 on Horse #3 to place pays if Horse #3 finishes in the top two.
Your selection must finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Lowest payout but easiest to hit. Example: ₱100 on Horse #7 to show pays if Horse #7 finishes in the top three.
Exotic Bets (Multiple Selections)
Pick the 1st and 2nd place finishers in exact order. Example: ₱100 exacta on 5-3 pays only if Horse #5 wins and Horse #3 comes second.
Pick the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in exact order. Higher difficulty, higher payout. Example: ₱100 trifecta on 2-7-4 pays only if those three finish in that exact sequence.
Pick the top four finishers in exact order. Extremely difficult, massive payouts. Example: ₱100 superfecta on 1-5-8-3 can return ₱50,000+ if correct. Reserved for experienced punters.

Local Context
Racing in Philippine Culture
Horse racing has a storied history in the Philippines dating back to the Spanish colonial era. The Manila Jockey Club, established in 1867, was one of Asia's premier racing institutions for over a century. Filipino elites would gather at the Santa Ana Hippodrome to watch thoroughbreds race and place wagers — a tradition that built a deep appreciation for the sport among the country's upper classes.
While traditional on-track racing has declined in recent decades, the Filipino love for racing endures. Provincial tracks still operate in areas like Cavite and Bulacan, drawing weekend crowds. But the real growth has been in online racing betting, which removes the barriers of geography and schedule. Now a factory worker in Davao can bet on Royal Ascot at 11pm after his shift, or a call center agent in Quezon City can place a trifecta on an Australian race during her lunch break.
88bon taps into this cultural legacy while bringing racing betting into the digital age. We honor the tradition — the suspense, the form analysis, the thrill of a photo finish — but deliver it through a modern platform built for how Filipinos live today: mobile-first, instant payment, 24/7 access. Whether your grandfather bet at Santa Ana or you're discovering racing for the first time, 88bon is where Filipino punters belong.
Popular International Races Among Filipino Bettors
- Melbourne Cup (Australia) — The "Race that Stops a Nation" runs every November and attracts huge Filipino betting volume due to timezone compatibility and strong Australian-Filipino ties.
- Hong Kong International Races — December's premier meeting at Sha Tin is massively popular among Filipino punters. Close geographic proximity and shared time zone make it ideal.
- Dubai World Cup — Held annually at Meydan, the world's richest horse race draws global attention and heavy Filipino wagering, especially among OFWs in the Middle East.
- Royal Ascot (UK) — The pinnacle of British racing in June. Filipino bettors love the prestige and history of Ascot, plus the five-day festival format provides continuous action.
- Singapore Kranji Races — Weekly races from our ASEAN neighbor are a staple for Filipino punters due to cultural familiarity and convenient evening start times.
Pro Strategies
Racing Betting Tips for Filipino Punters
Improve your win rate with these proven strategies from experienced racing bettors.
Always Check Recent Form
A horse or greyhound's last three races tell you everything. Look for consistent top-three finishes, not just one-off wins. Avoid selections coming off a long break unless they have strong trial form to back them up.
Consider Track Conditions
A horse that excels on firm ground may struggle in heavy conditions. Check the weather report and track condition rating before betting. Some horses are specialists on certain surfaces — use that information to your advantage.
Don't Chase Losses
Losing streaks happen to everyone. If you lose three bets in a row, take a break rather than doubling your stake to "win it back." Chasing losses is how casual bettors blow their entire bankroll in one bad session.
Value Over Favorites
Betting the favorite every race yields low returns. Look for value selections — horses with good form trading at longer odds because the market underestimates them. A 5.0 odds selection that wins three times out of ten is more profitable than a 1.8 favorite that wins six times out of ten.
Specialize in One Region
Instead of betting randomly across all tracks, focus on becoming an expert in one region — say, Australian racing or UK greyhounds. Deep knowledge of trainers, jockeys, and track quirks gives you an edge the casual bettor doesn't have.
Bankroll Management
Never bet more than 5% of your total bankroll on a single race. If you have ₱10,000 to play with, max bet per race should be ₱500. This discipline ensures you can weather losing runs without going broke.
