Points Betting is a unique sports betting option available only at PointsBet Sportsbook (currently in New Jersey and Iowa). This kind of point spread wager is based on the margin of victory or loss and can be very volatile, depending on how much risk a bettor wants to take on a game.
During the first week of the 2019 NFL season, one bettor decided to take a massive leap into Points Betting. One massive bet on the Ravens gave a lot of exposure to this relatively new form of point spread betting.
This Points Betting wager was for $30,000 per point on the Baltimore Ravens -6 at Miami Dolphins. Unlike a point spread wager, the margin of victory in the game dictates how much the bettor wins or loses. The size of the win in this bet depended on the final score of the game. The Ravens covered and defeated the Dolphins 59-10. The risk in this wager was capped at $600,000 for the bettor and PointsBet. Thanks to the unique wager and 49 point margin of victory, the bettor won $600,000. If this was a traditional -110 wager the bettor would have won $27,272.73. At the same time, this bettor could have also lost $600,000 if the result was reversed.
Points betting
Points Betting is a unique way to wager on sports that’s unique to PointsBet Sportsbook. Betting on point spreads with a -110 moneyline isn’t for everyone. The traditional wager can seem boring since there’s a fixed win or loss. Every point or yard in a football game could change how much is won or lost. A Points Betting wager allows a bettor to win or lose based on the outcome of the wager. The excitement of not knowing the potential amount of a win (or loss) can be exhilarating. Whether the wager is based on a point spread, total, or player prop, the wager isn’t known until the end of the game.Get up to $1,000 in Second Chance Bets at Pointsbet Sportsbook
