A brand-new high risk Sports Betting gambling market promising punter windfalls will be directed at Australia's most at risk gamblers. The system - called spread gambling - entails Points Bet, the bookmaker, offering a margin if the outcome will be lower or higher, with the punter backing. If the margin is bigger than their wager, but unlike margin gambling punters will be rewarded. On the flipside, if the wager isn't right, individuals would be responsible for more money than their original bet.

The nature of the system has experts concerned about the impact on problem gamblers and men. The wager works by Points Bet placing the line, for example, between Collingwood and Melbourne winning by 10 points. The punter should then pick over or under 9 points or 11 points.
