187 E-Sports — Malaysia's Esports Betting Destination for Fans
This page covers everything you need to know about E-Sports betting at 187 — game titles, tournament formats, how to read esport odds, and how to register so you can start betting straight from your phone.
What is E-Sports at 187?
E-Sports refers to betting on competitive video game matches. At 187, you can place bets on matches between professional teams in titles such as Mobile Legends, DOTA 2, Valorant, and Counter-Strike 2. Outcomes are determined by actual match results, not by a random number generator.
187 lists E-Sports matches in line with the tournament schedule, letting you plan your bets based on team history and match format before play begins.
Who Is This Section Best Suited For?
The E-Sports section is ideal for gaming fans who already follow leagues or tournaments and understand how the top teams play. Knowledge of the game — such as how round scoring works in CS2 or the pick-ban system in DOTA 2 — can help you make more informed market selections.
New users who are unfamiliar with esport can still get started by choosing simple markets like match winner, while learning more through the live streams available on the platform.

Tournaments & Leagues to Watch
Malaysian users follow several major E-Sports tournaments throughout the year. Here's an overview of the matches most popular among 187 users and where to find odds for each one.
Malaysia's professional Mobile Legends league. Local teams compete every season and finals regularly draw tens of thousands of fans. At 187, MPL matches are listed as soon as the schedule is announced.
The most prestigious DOTA 2 tournament in the world, with a multi-million dollar prize pool. Southeast Asian teams are consistently among the top contenders. Markets open weeks before the matches begin.
Counter-Strike 2 Major tournaments are held twice a year and closely followed by the Malaysian esport community. Handicap round markets are especially popular for this title.
The annual Valorant championship where the world's best teams compete. The Southeast Asian scene is growing stronger, and matches against teams from other regions are a major draw.
Bet Anywhere — Android, iOS and Web Browser
The 187 platform is fully optimised for mobile use. No extra app required — simply open Chrome or Safari on your phone, log in, and access the E-Sports section directly. The interface is designed for smaller screens with buttons large enough to tap accurately while watching a live stream at the same time.
On a standard 4G data connection, pages load quickly and odds refresh without needing a manual page reload. This matters during live matches, where odds can shift rapidly depending on how the game is progressing.
Users on Android 6.0 and above or iPhone with iOS 13 and above can access all E-Sports betting features without any functional limitations. Video stream quality can also be adjusted to match your internet speed, so your viewing experience stays smooth without buffering.
Tip: Use Portrait Mode for the Match List
On mobile, portrait mode gives you a longer match list that's easier to scroll through. Switch to landscape when you want to watch the stream and monitor odds at the same time.
How Malaysian Users Enjoy E-Sports at 187
The following four scenarios show how users from different backgrounds access and enjoy esports betting on this platform.
A group of Mobile Legends fans from Selangor gathered over the weekend to watch the MPL Malaysia broadcast and place bets on 187 from their phones. They compared odds for the same matches and discussed market options before the games started.
An experienced player from Johor Bahru who follows the Southeast Asian DOTA 2 scene uses 187 to place bets on The International. He draws on his in-depth knowledge of teams and head-to-head history to target more specific handicap markets.
A student active in the campus esport community opened their first 187 account using the welcome bonus. They started with small bets on CS2 match winners — a straightforward market that doesn't require deep technical knowledge of the game.
A user from Penang following Valorant Champions via YouTube livestream uses 187 to add excitement to the viewing experience with light betting. No need to log in on a computer — everything is done from the phone while watching on the big screen at home.
Reading E-Sports Odds — How Is It Different from Regular Sports?
E-Sports odds work the same way as conventional sports betting — in decimal or fractional format. That said, there are some markets unique to esport that are worth understanding before you place your first bet.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — you pick which team wins the overall match (whether it's Best of 3 or Best of 5). Odds reflect each team's relative chances based on their ranking and recent form.
Handicap Map
When one team is clearly stronger, a map handicap is given to the weaker side. For example, if Team A gets a +1.5 map handicap, your bet on Team A wins even if they lose 1-2 — because after applying the handicap, their effective score becomes 2.5-2.
Total Maps / Rounds
You predict whether the total number of maps or rounds played will go over or under a set value. It doesn't matter who wins — it's purely about how long the match lasts. This market is popular because you don't have to pick a side.
In-Play Betting
Just like traditional sports, odds are updated in real time as the match unfolds. When one team dominates the early rounds or gains a significant economic advantage, the odds shift quickly. In-play betting requires full focus and solid familiarity with the competing teams.
