I understand the payout will be less, but here we are saying, getting the pick right without having knowledge about sports whatsoever.
Hope I have made myself clear enough.
And that's exactly where luck comes into play with gambling, because you literally don't need to have knowledge about a particular Sport game to be lucky enough to win a bet after randomly placing a bet on either the casino's favorite team to win or not. Because on the contrary, the chances of the casino's favorite to win is always 60% possible, which is why a newbie gambler who has absolutely no knowledge about a sport game could predict and win, unlike in certain rare occasions that the opposite might win. And as such, it's important that despite betting on favorite, let's not forget that luck also plays a major role too.
