If someone who is not that knowledgeable about sports and gambling but wants to do sports betting, what would you recommend for him to start learning first?
I wouldn't recommend anything to him because I know that gambling is quite a risky thing, I just don't want to be the one who gets blamed when he finds himself on a losing streak, so it's better for me to avoid people who ask questions like that and suggest them to find out for themselves if they really want to gamble.
Actually you do have a very point but i also think that wanting to find out themselves may also include asking you because he may want to learn from experience because it will be better to learn from experience than to just do random research because there are some things you will get to learn from experience that you may never get to learn via research alone so that wealth of experience may just be something they may need to add up to that which they will be getting form the research they will be doing by themselves.
