How Points Betting Works A new way to bet If your bet wins by one point (or unit), you would win 1 x your bet amount (stake). If your bet wins by 2 units, you win 2 x stake. The double stake sports betting strategy is very simple. It’s quite similar to the classic double up roulette strategy. Key requirements in this strategy is a 1/1 odd.
