A points system is a common occurrence in betting where YOU decide how much a point is. Tipsters will often 🗝 tell you how many points they think you should bet – such as a 2 point win. The beauty of 🗝 this is that you decide what value each point has when you begin. A lot of people start with a 🗝 100 point base so if you had started with, as an example, £100, you would simply divide this by 100 🗝 to get the value of your point – £1.00.
How much would my bets cost?
A brief explanation is laid out in 🗝 the table below. The purpose is to show how much, in total, your outlay would be if you were using 🗝 £10 stakes, for example, on a bet.
Stake £5 points £10 points £20 points 0.5 points £2.50 £5.00 £10.00 0.5 points 🗝 each way £5.00 £10.00 £20.00 1 point £5.00 £10.00 £20.00 1 point each way £10.00 £20.00 £40.00 2 points £10.00 🗝 £20.00 £40.00 2 points each way £20.00 £40.00 £80.00
It is imperative that you decide how many points you will use 🗝 before you start betting if you decide to use a points system. By changing your point value half way through 🗝 the month will hugely distort your profit/loss as you could win, say, 10 bets whilst using £0.50 points. If you 🗝 then lose 10 bets with £2.50 points you will ultimately not be in profit for that month.
We would recommend that 🗝 nce your betting bank increases by 50% of the starting points, you increase your point value by 50%.
Example
Once your 100 🗝 point bank becomes 150 points, you increase your point value by 50%, so £5 becomes £7.50, £10 becomes £15 and 🗝 so on.
Depending on the tipster that you follow (if any) examples of bets that you may see are outlined below:
KAUTO 🗝 STAR – GOLD CUP 6/1 – 1 POINT WIN
If you were using £10 per point you would place £10 win.
£20 🗝 per point £20 win.
£50 per point £50 win.
KAUTO STAR – GOLD CUP 6/1 – 0.5 POINTS E/W
If were using £10 🗝 per point you would need to place a £5 E/W bet.
£20 per point a £10 E/W bet.
£50 per point a 🗝 £25 E/W bet.
KAUTO STAR – GOLD CUP 6/1 – 1 POINT E/W
If were using £10 per point you would need 🗝 to place a £10 E/W bet.
£20 per point a £20 E/W bet.
£50 per point a £50 E/W bet.
