You are doing an excellent job. Please do keep pointing out errors or typos. Yes, betting is the word need here. We’ll make all the changes soon.

Hi Teakay,
Beginner’s luck is the luck of a beginner. The correct phrase is “beginner’s luck” because only a person can have luck. A situation or a beginning can’t have luck. Please let me know if this makes sense to you.
Many thanks,
