## Mini-FAQ (3–5 questions)
Q: Are betting winnings taxed in Australia?
A: No — for most punters winnings are not taxed as income, but operators pay state-level POCT which can affect odds and offers.
Q: Can I use credit cards for betting in Australia?
A: Credit card use on licensed Aussie sportsbooks is restricted; POLi and PayID are preferred and legal for most deposits.
Q: How do I calculate implied probability from decimal odds?
A: Implied probability = 1 / decimal odds (e.g., 1 / 2.50 = 0.40 → 40%).
Q: Where can I get help for problem gambling in Australia?
A: Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) and BetStop (betstop.gov.au) are the national resources — use them if you need to self-exclude or seek counselling.
## Common Biases to Watch For (Aussie punter version)
– Gambler’s fallacy: “The machine’s due” — false for independent sporting events and markets.
– Confirmation bias: only listening to podcasts that agree with your view — diversify sources.
– Anchoring: sticking to an opening price without updating when new info appears.
For additional reading and promo scanning, many Aussie punters check portals that summarise bookmaker lines and local promos — another relevant resource to glance at for local promos is fafabet9, which often lists payment methods like POLi and PayID and flags state-specific restrictions for punters from NSW, VIC and beyond.
