You bet 1000 points on Poland winning, you get back your stake, doubled

What you're saying is what we're doing

If you were only given 1000 points back, you'd effectively win but not win any points. No incentive
If you bet 1000 points, your team wins, you get 1000 points back plus your stake. 2000 points. Get the score right, you get another 1000 for getting that right
If you fail to get anything right, you lose what you put in. Bet 1000 points on Poland winning 2-0 and the result's a draw, you lose your 1000 points.
I really don't see what the problem is
