If you're new to sports betting or you've mostly used telebabad and small local bookies, the odds format at Hero 789 might look a little different from what you're used to. The platform primarily uses decimal odds — the standard used across most Asian and European betting platforms — and they're actually simpler to work with than you might think.
With decimal odds, the number you see already includes your original stake. So if a PBA game shows Ginebra at 1.65, that means for every ₱100 you bet, you get back ₱165 if they win — ₱65 profit plus your ₱100 stake returned. The math is always the same: bet amount × odds = total return.
Hero 789 also gives you the option to switch to Fractional or American odds depending on your preference. Whichever format you're most comfortable with, you can set it from your account settings and all lines across the platform will convert automatically.
Quick tip: Odds below 2.00 mean the selection is favored to win. Odds above 2.00 mean the selection is the underdog. A fair coin flip would be priced at exactly 2.00 on both sides — anything below that is where the bookmaker margin sits.
Not all bettors grew up reading the same odds format. Here's how the three main formats compare using the same ₱100 bet.
| Format | Example | Meaning | Return on ₱100 Bet | Who Uses It |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.90 | Multiply stake by the odds to get total return | ₱190 (₱90 profit) | Asia, Europe, Australia — most popular at Hero 789 |
| Fractional | 9/10 | Numerator = profit for every denominator staked | ₱190 (₱90 profit) | UK, Ireland, traditional bookmakers |
| American (Moneyline) | -111 | Negative = stake needed to win ₱100; Positive = profit on ₱100 | ₱190 (₱90 profit) | United States, North America |
| American (Underdog) | +150 | Profit of ₱150 on every ₱100 staked | ₱250 (₱150 profit) | United States, North America |
There's a common frustration among Filipino bettors: local platforms tend to carry wide margins on popular games. That means by the time you factor in the bookmaker's cut, the odds you're betting at are noticeably worse than what the true probability suggests. Over time, that eats into your returns even when you're picking winners.
Hero 789 addresses this by maintaining some of the tightest margins in the local market on high-volume games — particularly NBA, PBA, and international volleyball. On flagship matchups like PBA Finals games or NBA playoff series, the margin often sits under 4%, which is considerably better than what you'll find on many competing platforms operating in the Philippines.
For live in-play betting, Hero 789 keeps markets open throughout the game and suspends lines only briefly around key moments like free throws and timeouts. That means you can react to in-game developments quickly — shifting your position based on what you're watching rather than being locked out of the market at critical moments.
Beyond simply picking the winner, Hero 789 gives you a wide range of markets to work with on every major event.

Most Filipino bettors aren't sitting at a desktop when the big game tips off. They're watching the PBA game on their phone while commuting, or following the NBA highlights during a break at work.

For a lot of Filipinos who primarily use their phones for everything financial, this convenience matters.
