Cricket is the heartbeat of Pakistani sport, but Lucky8 goes far beyond that. From Premier League football to Wimbledon tennis, from NBA playoffs to kabaddi internationals — bet on what you love with the sharpest odds in Pakistan, all payable in PKR.
Real-time odds across football, tennis, basketball and more. Register to place your bet.
Ask any group of Pakistani sports fans what they watch and the conversation starts with cricket but rarely ends there. Follow any football-loving crowd in Karachi or Lahore and you will find as many Real Madrid and Man City shirts as you will PSL jerseys. Tennis, basketball and kabaddi all have devoted followings here, and the appetite for sports content is enormous. The problem, until recently, was that the betting platforms available in Pakistan focused almost exclusively on cricket, leaving fans of other sports with nowhere to go.
Lucky8 changed that. The platform was built with the Pakistani sports fan's full viewing diet in mind, not just cricket. Every week during the Premier League season you will find hundreds of football markets on Lucky8 — match winner, both teams to score, total goals, Asian handicap, first goalscorer, correct score and dozens of others. Wimbledon, the US Open and the French Open all get full coverage with set betting, match winner, game handicap and player performance markets. NBA playoffs get point spreads, total points and series winner markets alongside standard game betting. And kabaddi, which draws massive crowds at the national level in Pakistan, is covered with dedicated tournament and match markets during major events.
The Lucky8 sports betting section covers more than twenty sports in total. Here is a closer look at the key categories and what each offers:
Football is the second most-betted sport on Lucky8 after cricket. The platform covers the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, UEFA Champions League, Europa League and major international tournaments including the World Cup and the AFC Asian Cup. Pakistani fans follow European football intensely, particularly the top clubs, and Lucky8 provides the full range of markets these fans need — from simple match winner to complex combination bets on goal timings, card totals and half-time/full-time results.
Tennis coverage on Lucky8 spans all four Grand Slams — Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open — as well as ATP Masters events and WTA Premier tournaments. The tennis betting interface on Lucky8 is particularly well-designed for live in-play betting, where odds shift rapidly game by game and set by set. Experienced tennis bettors know that the most value in live tennis markets comes from backing the underdog after they go a set down when the favourite has a history of slow starts in deciding sets — exactly the kind of situational bet that Lucky8's real-time in-play interface enables.
Basketball is growing rapidly as a betting sport among younger Pakistanis who follow the NBA. Lucky8 covers the regular season and playoffs with full markets including point spreads — a market type that is more common in basketball betting than in cricket — as well as total points, handicap betting and player performance specials. During the NBA Finals, Lucky8 typically sees a significant spike in basketball betting volumes from Pakistani users.
Kabaddi holds a special place on Lucky8 because it is one of the few platforms to offer dedicated kabaddi betting markets for Pakistani audiences. The Pro Kabaddi League, Pakistan Kabaddi Federation tournaments and international kabaddi events all get coverage. This is a genuinely underserved market for Pakistani bettors and Lucky8's decision to prioritise it reflects the platform's commitment to covering sports that matter specifically to this audience.
Boxing and MMA are covered for major fights — title bouts in the four major sanctioning bodies and UFC/Bellator main events. Lucky8 offers method-of-victory markets alongside straight winner betting, which is where serious combat sports bettors find the best value. Knowing whether Canelo wins by KO/TKO versus decision changes the odds significantly and Lucky8 prices these outcomes individually.
Formula 1, cycling, volleyball and rugby round out the Lucky8 sports menu with market depth scaled to the popularity of each sport among Pakistani users. F1 race winner, podium finish and fastest lap markets are popular during the season, particularly when races feature dramatic weather or strategy variations.
The depth of markets on Lucky8 is one of the things that stands out most clearly compared to alternatives. For a major football match you might find upwards of 80 different markets available pre-match, and the live in-play section adds dozens more as the game progresses. Here are the main market types you will encounter across different sports on Lucky8:
Asian handicap markets deserve a specific mention for Pakistani football bettors. The Asian handicap removes the draw outcome from football betting by giving one team a head start (a negative handicap) and the other a goal advantage (positive handicap). So if you back Man City at -1.5 goals, they need to win by two or more goals for your bet to land. This format is widely used across Asia and Lucky8 offers it on virtually every Premier League and Champions League fixture, often with tighter margins than the standard 1X2 market.
The in-play betting section of Lucky8 is where active sports bettors spend most of their time. Once a match kicks off, the odds landscape changes completely. A football team that looked like a moderate favourite before kick-off might become a heavy favourite after scoring in the opening ten minutes — or might drift dramatically if they go a man down. Reacting to these shifts requires a platform that updates prices fast and keeps markets open throughout the match.
Lucky8 handles live sports betting with a dedicated in-play interface that separates ongoing matches from upcoming events and displays the current score, elapsed time and market status clearly. For tennis, this means you can see the current set score, the game count within the set and the in-progress game score alongside the odds. For football, goal scorers, yellow cards and substitutions are updated in real time. This level of information in a single view — without needing to tab between separate score services and the betting interface — is something Lucky8 does particularly well on mobile.
The one feature Pakistani sports bettors consistently praise on Lucky8 is the cash-out option on live bets. If you backed a football team to win and they go 2-0 up at half-time, you can cash out for a guaranteed profit before the second half rather than waiting for the final whistle. Lucky8 offers partial cash-out too, where you lock in a portion of your winnings and leave the rest running. This level of control over your open bets is something that makes a meaningful practical difference to how you manage your bankroll during live events.
Weekend accumulator betting is one of the most popular activities on Lucky8, particularly for football fans who like to combine multiple Premier League selections into a single bet. The appeal is the multiplied odds — combining four matches at average odds of 1.80 gives you a 10.50 accumulator, turning a Rs 500 stake into Rs 5,250 if all four land. Lucky8 supports accumulators of up to 20 legs across different sports, and you can mix sports freely — combining a football result, a tennis match winner and an NBA point spread in the same parlay is perfectly fine.
Lucky8 runs an Acca Boost promotion for football accumulators during the Premier League season. Qualifying five-leg and above accumulators where all selections win receive a payout bonus on top of the standard accumulated odds. The exact boost percentage is shown in your bet slip and in the promotions section. For serious football accumulator bettors, this boost adds meaningful value over the course of a season.
