What is Points Betting?

This is PointsBet’s exclusive betting format in which your winnings or losses are not determined until the event/events conclude. So, when you place a bet on a sporting event, your winnings increase every time your wager is right. Likewise, your losses increase every time your bet is wrong. For example, you place a 7-point favorite spread bet on a soccer match. Every time the team scores its opponent an extra goal above the 7-goal limit, your winnings increase.
