Handball might not be the first sport that comes to mind when you're in Manila or Cebu, but once you start watching — and betting — you'll understand why it's one of the fastest-growing markets on hero789. Fast-paced, high-scoring, and packed with in-play action, handball is a sports bettor's dream.
Handball is a team sport played between two sides of seven players each — six outfield players and one goalkeeper — on an indoor court. The objective is simple: throw the ball into the opposing team's goal more times than they do in yours. Matches are split into two 30-minute halves, and the pace is relentless. A top-level handball game can see 50 to 60 goals combined, which makes every minute of in-play betting genuinely exciting.
At hero789, handball betting covers the biggest competitions in the world — from the IHF World Men's Handball Championship and the EHF Champions League to the Bundesliga Handball and the French Starligue. Whether you're a seasoned bettor who follows European handball closely or someone who just discovered the sport and wants to try a few markets, hero789 has the depth and the odds to keep you engaged.
For Filipino players, handball offers something a little different from the usual PBA or NBA betting. The European leagues run through the Philippine evening and late-night hours, which means you can catch live matches and place in-play bets after dinner — whether you're in a Quezon City condo, a Makati apartment, or winding down in Davao. The time zone actually works in your favor.
Depositing and withdrawing on hero789 is straightforward. GCash and PayMaya remain the fastest options — deposits are instant and withdrawals typically clear within minutes. BPI, BDO, and Metrobank transfers are also supported for players who prefer traditional banking. The minimum bet on handball markets starts at just ₱100, so you don't need a big bankroll to get started.
European handball leagues typically kick off between:
From simple match winners to detailed in-play propositions — here's what you can bet on
| Market | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner (1X2) | Pick the home team, away team, or a draw at full time. The most straightforward market and a great starting point for new handball bettors. | Beginners & casual bettors |
| Asian Handicap | One team is given a goal head start or deficit to level the playing field. Eliminates the draw outcome and often delivers better value than 1X2. | Value hunters |
| Over / Under Goals | Bet on whether the total goals scored in the match will be above or below a set line (e.g., Over 52.5). Given handball's high-scoring nature, this is one of the most popular markets on hero789. | Stats-driven bettors |
| Half-Time Result | Predict the outcome at the end of the first 30-minute half only. Useful when you have a read on a team's early-game form. | Tactical bettors |
| Both Teams to Score | In handball, this is almost always a certainty — but the odds on specific score thresholds make it interesting. | Accumulator builders |
| Correct Score | Predict the exact final scoreline. High risk, high reward. hero789 offers boosted odds on selected correct score markets. | High-risk, high-reward players |
| Live / In-Play Betting | Place bets while the match is in progress. Odds update in real time based on the score, time remaining, and momentum shifts. This is where handball betting really comes alive on hero789. | Experienced bettors |
