If you are new to esports betting or switching from traditional sportsbook, the core concepts are the same — you pick an outcome, stake an amount in ringgit, and collect if your prediction is correct. The key differences are in the market types and the way competitive games are structured.
The simplest bet: which team wins the series? Most top-level Dota 2 and CS2 matches are best-of-three. The team that wins two maps first takes the match. i1m888 displays decimal odds — a 2.10 line means a RM 100 bet returns RM 210 total (RM 110 profit) if correct.
Popular in CS2 and MLBB, map handicap works like Asian Handicap in football. If Team A is −1.5 maps, they need to win 2-0 (a clean sweep) for the bet to win. Team B at +1.5 maps wins the handicap bet as long as they win at least one map, even if they lose the overall series. This creates better value on clear favourites and keeps underdogs interesting to back.
An Over-Under bet on the total number of maps played. In a best-of-three, the total can be 2 (one team sweeps) or 3 (a deciding map is needed). Over 2.5 maps means you need three maps to be played. These markets are independent of which team wins — you are only predicting the length of the series.
i1m888 offers a growing range of in-game prop markets for tier-1 events — first blood (which team gets the first kill), first tower destroyed, first Roshan (Dota 2), knife round winner (CS2), and MVP of the series. These markets reward deep game knowledge and are popular among experienced Malaysian esports bettors who follow the teams closely.
Before a major tournament begins, you can bet on which team will win the entire event. The International, MPL Malaysia Grand Finals, and VCT Champions are the biggest outright markets at i1m888. Odds are long and the competition is fierce, but a well-researched pick on a rising SEA team before the bracket is set can yield excellent returns.
Practical Tip for New Bettors
Start with match winner bets on titles you already follow. If you watch MPL Malaysia regularly, you already understand the form table, the meta shifts, and which teams perform under pressure. Use that knowledge before exploring handicap or prop markets. Always set a session budget and stick to it.

The biggest prize pool in esports history. Regional qualifiers across SEA, EEU, WEU, CN, and NA feed into the main event bracket.
CS2
CS2 Major Championships
Two Valve-sponsored Majors per year, each with 1,250 RMR points and a USD 1.25M prize pool. The premier CS event on the global calendar.
