But the problem is that not everyone has an understanding of the world of sports and maybe that's what makes them not choose sports betting which can basically help make it easier for them to win provided they have to have good enough skills and understanding. I think it's their ignorance in skills that ultimately makes them prefer random-based bets like slots and other games.
So for that problem it really comes back to themselves, it's hard to force them to get into sports betting if they really don't have any skills in that field. Another thing is that as you said one of the things that must be considered is in terms of budget, you are right that it is better to put the smallest amount that they can be responsible for, such as 1% - 5% is very good so that they can stay safe in gambling especially will not be too disappointed if they really lose.
That's what happens, so they tend to choose gambling games that are easier to play and without needing to learn many things. Sports betting is more challenging than they imagine because they have to learn how to analyze the data they find so they can know which team has an advantage over other teams. They also need to see the journey of each team so they can see whether the team is worthy of being their choice. They still have a lot to learn to be able to choose the right team, so it makes it difficult for them, and they end up choosing luck-based betting or other gambling games.
Yes, novice gamblers will choose which gambling games they want to play and they don't need to choose sports betting if they can't or don't have the ability to analyze the matches. And another thing they need to pay attention to is managing funds for placing bets. And they should not place bets with big money to avoid big losses. They can use small money to bet so that they can enjoy gambling properly and also will not experience big losses.
Yes that's one of the reasons that makes sense like you said, they choose gambling that is easier to access and just play without caring about the statistics in terms of opportunities and the amount of risk that is there, for them it is too difficult to learn the skills and some analysis needed in sports betting and on the other hand want to get a win but don't know what kind of gambling should be done if they come to earn, like you said they can learn skills in sports to improve their skills and knowledge which will also be very useful for their gambling involvement especially not to experience too many losing streaks like in pure luck-based gambling.
Some may assume that learning skills in sports is complicated and just takes up their time, these days more people are opting for instant gratification, so if there's something instant to choose why not, they don't care about the statistics of winning and losing percentages in pure luck gambling which is basically much more likely to lose than win.
