PointsBet
One of the newcomers to the sports betting industry has a competitive edge; by modeling their sportsbook after a points system rather than a traditional fixed odds model, PointsBet has clearly differentiated themselves from other competing sportsbooks in the industry.

Overview
If you have ever been in a position where you were so right about a pick, then PointsBet may just be the sportsbook for you. In a situation where you bet a spread and you just clear it, you’re happy to barely be on the right end of it – but if you were far and away correct on a pick, you may have wished that you had added points to the line you had chosen using the additional spread or over/under. Enter PointsBet and their system, who does it for you: the more you are right, the more money you win – and not necessarily just in the number of wagers you place, rather how correct your single pick is. Instead of simply picking a spread or game total, you place a wager on the same style of pick (i.e. over/unders, spreads, player props, etc. as listed right below) and if you pick the correct side, your winnings accumulate based on the number of “points” you win by. Should an over/under of an NBA game by 200.5 and you take the over at $5 per point, if the game total hits 210, you won by 9 points and consequently won $45. The same concept applies to a game spread; should the spread by -9.5 on an NFL game, and the team wins by 17, you have won $35 at $5 per point. While it is a nice concept to win more the more you are right, there is also a stop loss on wagers, similarly to how you can do so in currency or stock trading in order to minimize your potential losses.
