Title: What To Do? (For People Who Mostly Gamble on NBA Games)
Post by: cabalism13 on March 13, 2020, 05:28:39 PM
So what do you do nex?,  now that NBA has canceled some of the games this season? Will you just also  get a hold of being a gambler for the meantime? Or try another sports?

@cabalism13 This is a question that came up to my mind recently.  ::)

Even other sports or eSports tournament is being canceled due to COVID-19.

Entertainment betting will do but probably some shows will also stop temporarily. The only thing that matters now is to keep safe from the virus and stay healthy, let's prioritize ourselves and relatives. For now, let's hold gambling for a little moment and wait to get rid of the virus.

I was just thinking of the same just mere moments ago until I stumble upon this thread.

Even F1 and other motorsports events are cancelled, and that gets my mind thinking on what will gamblers do while their source of funds are out of the equation in the meantime? Perhaps some of them would try online casino, while some would just try and find obscure events that are still on-going and little money can be made. Either way, the sure thing as of now is that the world is paralyzed of normal events until such time that the virus is controlled and/or a vaccine is created, which unfortunately is projected a year and half from now.

Just been too curious about it besides some of the gamblers I'm talking about was merely one on the Philippines side, most of us are waiting Afaik, but still there's  nothing we can do about it also we are all aware of this virus thing that's  why we can't  afford to visit casinos these days.

Actually, the NBA is just one of my preferred sports leagues to bet so even for let's say the 30-day suspension extends, it will not affect my gambling activity in general.

But the thing is, it's not just NBA but almost all of my preferred sports events cancel their respective games. Nothing left now on my list so I have no choice but to refrain from doing online gambling, "for now".

Right now, my only active bet is outside crypto, the famous "ending game" and the current league they covered was National Basketball League in Oceania Region. Well, the "ending game" admins here are trying to make their business continue even with the situation the world is facing today.

Yeah, one of the common things in the Ph are sports betting and many of my friends are disappointed due to the cancellation of NBA season. But let's think on the good side, players should take care of their health too so we can watch them lively on the next season.

We can also try a local betting game like lotto, I think it's still active since there are results from yesterday's game.

For those who are addicted to gambling, especially in the NBA Games or other sports betting, I think this is the right time to take a break because in my opinion there will always be good that can be done behind this chaos. But it all comes back to ourselves because we all have choices and after all, with this outbreak at least it requires us to spend more time at home and at the same time we must continue to have income, so decide to stop and or switching to casino gambling is an option that we can do easily now, I personally will take time to rest because I also bet more often on sports gambling.

The virus outbreak have been affecting the markets, games and the normal life of citizens in major parts of the world. But there are false rumors and scares revolving in countries which are being less affected as well. The disease isn't curable as of now and has been identified to be deadly, but does this require too much of an attention in countries which are being less affected? The stocks faced a significant dump and so does the crypto which are being driven due to fake manipulation and scares which should be taken into consideration only at fewer places of the world!

I would personally move onto other games which are active to quite an extent and wouldn't be cancelled if the virus outbreak becomes worse than the current situation. Gambling is a form of entertainment and as far as I am concerned I only play with what I can afford to lose just for pleasure. Online gambling games like dice and roulettes could serve as an alternative in the place where gambling based on real-world games are kept on halt!

Yeah and I really hope it doesn't cause more trouble than it is now. I also do hope that it will not take more than many months before it disappears. This is somewhat crazy for we don't who might be a carrier, we might also be over reacting if we enforce couch and fevers.

Though it will be a good thing if all the gamblers cn find another sports to bet on for NBA will definitely take a lkng break.

These events will likely only be canceled for around a month, so you can just look for alternatives.

I've heard that most boxing events will still be going on, as will MMA.

They both present some lucrative betting opportunities. Or you can take the time to learn statistical analysis or poker hands or something, move into a different game once you're up to speed.

I also heard that they might be extending the time of suspensions, but still no one knows, lets just hpe for the best. As for boxing, as long as we can, we should avoid too much people in contact, we might never know someone is a carrier, but doin online bet here wouldn't cause much hassle only for those who are present on the Live Community.

I find these a boring thing although I'm a fan of League of Legends. I might just play rather than watching.

Well, they probably can try some other sports. This might be a good chance for them to try out something new. They may find a new sport to gamble on and might end up enjoy gambling on those sports. Or yeah, they can take a break from gambling for a while. But I doubt gamblers who gamble on NBA games only place bets on those games. High chances they also gamble on some other sports too. But due to this outbreak, I guess most of the sports will be postponed, so they might not have any sports to gamble on.

How about try playing poker or else hahay's suggestion should be applied which is taking a break for the meanwhile.

Majority of the sporting event were cancelled and it's sad.  :-\

Might be worth taking a look at NBL (Australia's basketball league), at least until it's cancelled or the season finishes. It's currently the grand final which is a bo5 series between Sydney Kings and Perth Wildcats. I'd imagine a lot of your NBA analysis could transfer over. Might have to adjust your sleep schedule to watch though  ;)

Cricket or eSports is probably your best bet after that. Lots of possible value in eSports.

It's not just NBA, almost all competitions stopped. There is currently very few basketball and football leagues which are still in play - Turkey, Australia, Russia, Ukraine, Serbia. So, I'm going to switch to watch these leagues and bet on it. But probably it's only matter of time when they will stop too. Maybe Australia is exception, because it's isolated continent and spread of virus is more difficult there.
But I definitely know that I won't start following esports - it's just not for me. I rather just will stop gambling and start to watch movies :D. There is just no more options to spend free time currently when almost everything stopped in my country for virus prevention.

Taking a break from sports betting will be better and start to focus on yourself in these situations because the Coronavirus has been a severe matter of all of the world. But we still have other gambling games that we can play, and although that is not the favorite one, we can still playing gambling and perhaps, we can win in the other gambling games. I am sure that if everything can be handled, and the virus is not a serious problem like this day, the game will be rescheduled, and you can place your bet as usual.

The only thing we can bet on now is coin flip like the old times as not only NBA , most of the other sports including esports tournaments have been cancelled or postponed . As I was talking about in other thread , this is a great loss for not only us (emotionally) but also for the sports-betting sites( financially) .

Yes, actually this is a good time to have quality time with your family. Taking a break from time to time will refresh your outlook in life. It is time to reflect on your life and re-align your long-term goals in life. Nowadays, we are bombarded by the surrounding technology that we have. Sometimes we don't have long conversation anymore with our family or friends because we are so focused with our smartphones or other gadgets. So let's just make the best out of this current crisis.

Some people find passion on gamble with NBA games, of course they will wait but for people who addicted with gambling they will try another sport to keep play. It doesn't matter we stay or not, gambling is game but when use loan money and have addicted that's become problem. I choose to get another platform ( not sport ) and cards is good option.

Me? I don't know right now  to be honest ;D. I knew various sports aside from basketball but they are not my type. Though UFC which is one of my favorite got no cancellation of fights, I'm not in the mood to bet right now. Well, gambling became a "hobby" for me already so I'm not sure if I can get rid of it for the meantime. If I received a friendly bet with them then why not ;D. I don't care whether the game was cockfighting or even Pusoy (Chinese poker), let's bring it on!

Time to rewatch old seasons I guess. I really have nothing to do atm, and I can't even leave with the quarantine in the area I am at right now. Plus, even the Esports league has moved their events at a later date, which realllyy kinda sucks imo. Time to play some rounds in casinos then play/find some random stuff to do. Can't even try to meetup and play with a few friends cause of the curfew. That, or I'd just take up cooking since I've been curious about it for a very long time, just that I really have no idea how to start it off plus, I don't have much money I can spend on ingredients and the like.

Most games that gather a lot of people are already cancelled because of the pandemic. You can try to hold on to that money of yours until everything goes back to normal hopefully. You can try casino games if you really want your gambling fix.

It is a shame that we are saying we cannot bet on events because if you have got so much money that you are itching to loose it on gambling even during the crisis time cause by Corona Virus then just donate the money to people in need. I mean there is a crisis and everyone is probably saving money because everything is crashing be it stock market or big industries, everything is collapsing and in such time personally if I was so itching to loose money on gambling then I would better spend the money to help people who are suffering. Look I am no one to suggest what you should do with your money but I am just telling my own opinion.

For people who are addicted with sports betting and NBA maybe they should look at this opportunity to get out from this gambling addiction rather than to get even more obsessed and gamble everything once things are back to normal.

I don't bet basketball too often, but it's not just basketball matches that are postponed a lot, football matches, rugby, races and many more are postponed due to pandemic corona.. all we can do now is refrain from gambling and wait for things to improve.

It will not stop me from being a gambler for the meantime but there will be limitations as only a few bets will be available that I really wants.

I'm not that type of sports bettor that will just bet on sports that I don't know. So maybe if those sports I always choose to gamble will be out, canceled, suspended because of the Covid-19, I might try other gambling types outside sports betting.

For what are those, I don't know specifically as it varies and depends on my taste.

All the other outdoor sports are also off, only choice is to watch movies, but please no doomsday movies, or play online casino games if you are betting in a games, so you can release your urge to bet and also your excitement, I think this one will take long because it's worsening now, we all suffers from this and it's unfortunate.

Is this the Next chapter of “What If”? Lol just curiosity because i miss the 2019 10 parts of What if 😂



I think there is no sports available for betting now?because it seems that all the upcoming events had already declared cancellations or pausing?anyway that is just my observation because of the effect of this Corona Virus.

I love basketball and also betting in NBA or our local Basketball at least twice a week but now that both are canceled?

I think will enjoy poker for now 😂

Watch movies in our home can be the right choice but the most important is we can stay in our home with our family, and we can see that they are the most important in our life. Playing gambling on the gambling website will be another choice for you if you want to back to gambling, but always remember that when you play in your home, your chance to be addicted will be bigger because you will stay in your room without leaving your computer. You should still have control for yourself before you see you will become addicted to gambling.

The passion for the sports is what drive people for doing the sports betting because it acts as an advantage to them as they have their research done and knows how and which team or players could be strong and what could be the results that could come. So, making money from such events is higher than playing just any of the their events which someone would not be aware of and might be just a blind gambling. Though it may again depend upon person to person to take risks.

Not some but all of the games of NBA already have cancelled and other sports events too worldwide has been cancelled because of this shitty virus.

I'm not gambling at this moment anymore but if I gambled in sports events when I gambled and mostly in NBA. Now NBA games are already cancelled, what will I do is just I will stop gambling for a moment so that I have more funds to use whenever NBA will resume its games. I don't want to try to bet on another sports especially when I don't have any knowledge on the sport. I'd rather spend my time with other people than gambling my money and expecting to lose since that is what I experience always :D.

I am not gonna try a sports that i don't know, the reason why I am gambling in NBA is because I am confident I can win because I know the game, I've been studying it and I love the game, that's the formula I followed and reason why I love NBA sports betting.

In addition, gambling in NBA falls in a skilled based type of gambling, if we like to have fun or gamble based on luck, maybe we can do it in a more entertaining games like dice games.

I really like playing basketball and it is my sport so I'm a fan of NBA. It is the most popular basketball league in the world so most of the population here in the world knows the NBA. In gambling, I used to bet in sports related gambling because I enjoyed watching NBA and at the same time supporting my favorite team. Unfortunately, the trending Covid-19 stopped the season temporarily to prevent the constant increasing of the infected by the virus. Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, and Mudiay were positive in the test so the NBA are alerted because of that.

But the thing is, it's not just NBA but almost all of my preferred sports events cancel their respective games. Nothing left now on my list so I have no choice but to refrain from doing online gambling, "for now".

If that's the case, learn to be patient and stop gambling for now. Save your money and put it in a more valuable thing like foods, health kit, and other things that will make you healthier to prevent the contamination of the virus. Use your money wisely, always remember that being healthy is the most essential thing here in Earth other that money. Health first before gambling, also if you have family to take care and feed for. After the covid-19 virus, everything will be okay and go back to normal. By that, we can now play sports betting again and the NBA season will continue.

@cabalism13 first of all you thank god that the virus hasn’t effected you, secondly you should accept that you won’t be able to bet any more on sports this season. Last and most importantly it’s not easy to give up the urge to gamble, so my advice for you would be is to find legitimate online casinos and play Dice, or blackjack or other games till the new season begins again.

NBA betting is really fun, I find a lot of people here with the same interest, participating on discussion in different thread, so it's a healthy community.

however, this corona who ruined the NBA season is still here, we are not expecting this, the government are not prepared and still searching for vaccine for the cure of those who are infected, so let's give them time, I hope the NBA season will not be suspended.

For now, maybe it's wise to try different type of gambling games, I know you can find a lot in the crypto space.

Wish we could channel some of that money/time/effort in bettng competitions to solve current world problems, or even provide best possible solutions the problems. I guess I have seen one or two games with something like that. I wish they are successful/viable, and have safe platforms any interested person can spend time (and money) solving real world problems and getting rewarded when necessary.

we are on a crisis or panic due to this virus.We can resume our gambling activity once this pandemic would be resolved soon.I can really see the
scope of affected things with this situation not only on gambling industry but also on other areas as well. This wont really be applicable on NBA
alone but in all sorts of sports that do involve some crowd and somehow we can play other games as well online.


So what do you do nex?,  now that NBA has canceled some of the games this season? Will you just also  get a hold of being a gambler for the meantime? Or try another sports?

@cabalism13 first of all you thank god that the virus hasn’t effected you, secondly you should accept that you won’t be able to bet any more on sports this season. Last and most importantly it’s not easy to give up the urge to gamble, so my advice for you would be is to find legitimate online casinos and play Dice, or blackjack or other games till the new season begins again.
There are lots of alternatives that we can find online when in talks of gambling online casinos.It might crossed out those sports events
or betting but if we do really seek up for entertainment then there are lots of luck-based ones.If it doesnt fit out your interest
then you can simply just stop and wait for those things to come back.

I think there is no sports available for betting now?because it seems that all the upcoming events had already declared cancellations or pausing?anyway that is just my observation because of the effect of this Corona Virus.

There are still available for betting.

Try to browse on your favorite sports betting site and you will see some there.

But there is a chance that the available list might not be familiar to you so better stay away or take the risks.

Try out other sports would be my choice since i've been betting on different sports for the most part depending on the schedules and if the NBA season just finished I usually look at other sports to bet on like rugby, cricket, snooker, darts,etc. Whenever I make bets on those sports I sometimes lower my bet size since there's limited information to rely on or wait for live if the odds are bad.

Yeah, there are still some sports that still available for us to bet on but i wont really risk up to make bets into sports which i havent known.

It would be much better if i do refrain on betting to other sports rather than trying into something which isnt familiar yet chances of losing
bet would be high.

Sticking with the favorites? It might do but not an assurance thing.

For us who aren't comfortable betting on other sports we don't know or familiar with, it's recommended to take a break.

But for a die-hard sports bettor, that can't even live without placing a bet on a single day, they will still bet on those games even they don't have an idea or knowledge about it.

But it's not a suicidal move as before betting, they will do some deep research first. Almost all sports today do have bet analyzers. That's where they will base their future bets.

you said only some games are cancelled ? so that means there are still some games that can be played and available  , so why despair too much  ? besides there are still other games out there that arent affected by the pandemic/quarantine   .

 sometimes its also better trying other types of gambling just to be new and to also maximize our learnings on other games   . many sports bettors are transferring and they claim that they are now enjoying other games too  even for temporary purposes only  .

But if they are still trying to bet on the sports, they don't know, and they will be hard to win even if they are trying to gather some information about the match. They will need time to make themselves familiar with the games, and for some gamblers, it will take some time to understand. Besides that, they need to search for good bettor analyzers so they can know which teams will have a chance to win.

Take a break will be a good choice for them and search the information about the other sports because at least they can save their money first before they use it to bet on that sports that they don't know.

Time to rewatch old seasons I guess. I really have nothing to do atm, and I can't even leave with the quarantine in the area I am at right now. Plus, even the Esports league has moved their events at a later date, which realllyy kinda sucks imo. Time to play some rounds in casinos then play/find some random stuff to do. Can't even try to meetup and play with a few friends cause of the curfew. That, or I'd just take up cooking since I've been curious about it for a very long time, just that I really have no idea how to start it off plus, I don't have much money I can spend on ingredients and the like.
But, you cannot bet on past seasons right  ;D so while you can have fun watching those old seasons and maybe best moments type of videos you cannot gamble on anything right now since NBA has been stopped for corona.

I am myself a big fan of NBA but I am not only restricted to NBA as I also love betting on other sports like tennis (although a lot of tennis matches have been abandoned as well) and I am also a big fan of esports betting so I find some matches there and have fun with them. Look at the end of the day you must have fun with gambling and like you suggested if watching old seasons of NBA can give you entertainment and thrill then you should maybe not look for other sports or betting options but if you feel like you don't have any fun then go for esports I promise you will have fun once you get the knack of it.

I hope we can shift with other sports, but I think almost all major sports are affected by the COVID-19 panic.
People can't risk their lives going into the arena watching games, and players as well who are not much vulnerable compared to the fans are getting infected, so anyone with sound mind could analyze that going outside is like going into suicide, for now, no sports betting but we can play dice.

I am currently rolling the dice now. ;D

Maybe I will try another sports maybe Esports in which there some teams and leagues that are still playing and I can bet or gamble then, not just because the NBA was cancelled this doesn't mean that the gamblers who are based on the sports will stop for the meantime in betting and gambling, obviously they will find way on how they will be able to gamble again especially for those person who are really intent to gamble anytime.

I suggest either gambling or something else if the gambling part of the deal that you love so much, or if NBA was the one you love so much just continue to watch old games and highlights whenever you feel like you want to watch some basketball.

Believe me there is nothing entertaining about watching 82 games of a team, or trying to watch 1230 highlights of ALL games in a season plus the playoffs, it will become boring, so watching just the highlights of this season would be even time consuming and if you want you can go back to old games as well which would in the end would finish about next season as well.

Basically, it all depends on what you want, NBA or gambling? I would say gambling could be done on Esports these days, no idea if 2kleague is still going on but you can wager on those?

Why not make this time to improve your analysis on the NBA betting? I guess it will make more sense until the game commences maybe by two months as what the speculation is. Since NBA betting is analysis gambling I guess you can try to gamble on some analysis game too, just like poker. You may want to join us sometimes here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5217547.0 all the players are users in this forum.

There's a lot of events that have been canceled due to this pandemic happen not only NBA games. Ain't so much worried about sports events has been canceled because there are a lot of gamblings that we can switch of. For now, the best thing to do if you are regular gamblers is to gamble online for safety-first purposes.

Stay at home while the researcher finds a ways to get rid of this virus that keeps spreading. We should understand this current situation and let's do hope it will back to normal and all sports gambling will resume again.

Some people find passion on gamble with NBA games, of course they will wait but for people who addicted with gambling they will try another sport to keep play. It doesn't matter we stay or not, gambling is game but when use loan money and have addicted that's become problem. I choose to get another platform ( not sport ) and cards is good option.
I agree that cards is a good option and something new and for such people who are addicted with NBA and bet only on basketball maybe they should try other sports like cricket, tennis and soccer because NBA does not happen all year there is also time when the off season is going on and there are no games so I believe this will be a good time for such gamblers to try new games.

By the way I heard the games are only re-scheduled so there is nothing to worry about, they are not cancelled but only postponed until they find the situation under control and safe enough environment for these games to be conducted.

Taking a rest or engaging to another gambking game, would be the only choices a gambler could make, in my opinion.  The playoffs are now postponed and is believed to be back 18th of april, this year. A gambler could just wait for the start of the playoffs, and he could play other gambling games such as card games, dice, lotteries and the likes but if you won't be interested to such games and you are purely into sportsbetting, stopping for now would be a better idea than to try other gambling games and end up losing due to unfamiliarity and lack of enjoyment. You may also consider investing at this moment because this would be a good time, since the market prices are low as of the moment.

Honestly, we are in a situation where it is so severe that, I am just glad I do not have corona right now, that is in itself is a bigger relief than being able to watch NBA games. I rather let them not play and not spread the virus too much then being able to watch them.

I can survive by not watching NBA again until next season if it comes to that, which it looks like could come to that actually, then watch the virus go around in circles getting more and more people. Today there was a news about a 20 year old football player dying from corona because of late diagnosis, so that means not everyone safe, being young doesn't 100% guarantee safety. We should allow them some space and also keep our space as well and find other stuff to keep us occupied meanwhile.

 Depends on what you are looking for really. If you want to gamble the dice games are right there, its plenty of available in all of crypto casinos, there are tons of other games as well. If another thing is what you are looking for it all depends what you like, reading a book is always a great thing and highly suggested to widen your horizons, playing computer games is not really suggested but it feels awesome.

 When you are suggesting something, do not forget that many people can't leave their homes nowadays, or at least do not want to say the least. So best case scenario I would still suggest anything online, it could be gaming, it could be gambling, it could be reading, it could be watching, whatever you want to do I would highly suggest staying inside so you do not have too much chance to get sick.

If you ask about what I do next? Hm, I will stay at home, and I will playing online gambling if I want, but of course, I will make sure I have some daily needs for myself and my family. Many sports have canceled the tournament and not just NBA, and that is because they want to make sure that the player is not infected by the virus, although we heard that some players from many sports get affected too. But one thing that we should do in these situations, we need to stay in our homes and make sure we can protect ourselves.

Totally depends on what gambling is to the individuals been affected by the decision of the NBA governing body. Assuming you're just a fan who gamble for fun then obviously this decision will have less impact on you which means you can easily stop gambling and it won't be considered a loss.

But for the professional gamblers, those who gamble just because of the profit associated with the act and it serves as their means of survival. This set if individuals have no choice but to switch immediately to other sporting activity that they can bet on to earn extra cash.

A major disadvantage will be to those who are only equipped with just the necessary skills to succeed as a NBA gambler but aren't informed via the only sports that's why we're advice to widen our knowledge in regards to any area of interest we're engaged with.

Giannis are one of the NBA players that are earning big time, extending some financial help at this time of crisis is good, that really showed their heart to the people they helped and to the fans as well. I am hoping more and more would help as at this moment, we can only count each other,  let's be human and help those who are in need.

Just kidding but you might want to stop gambling at this moment and use your money to buy supplies that will help you survive into this situation that the world is facing right now. Health is far more important than gambling in NBA and for sure it is the same for other gamblers out there so at least once, give yourself a break and spend time with other people and spend your money to buy supplies :).

Instead of gambling right now, why don't you just play online games or just sleep the whole day and don't go out so that you will not get affected by the virus :D.

We don't need to worry about it since it is only temporary besides it could also be a way for us to spend more time with our family.

Not just NBA but every sports in different country is either postponed or cancelled. You might not be able to play in sports betting games, but on the meantime you could try dice games or poker games they're also reliable because the games are fair. If that site has a provably fair feature to make sure the player is never cheated.

Dice is no doubt a great alternative, however, big bettors are more confident on betting in sports as they can analyze the game and they can use their skill.
In dice game, no one can make use of their skills, if one is claiming they have the skills, they are certainly lying as no one can beat the house edge.

It isnt really that too long for someone to make up some bets yet each gambler would just simply stick out on heavily favored one yet there are only 2 teams to choose from
unless if you do bet on other line then this one isnt plausible for you to easily make wins or profitable.Lacking knowledge on a certain sports would really show out difference.

All we can do now is to wait until the virus would be fully eradicated and the whole world to be fine. COVID had been rough on us which cancelled almost everything. And with regards to gambling and betting, it is much preferable to gamble on online sports/esports and do other stuffs to gain money such as trading and holding. The best we could do now is buy a lot of good and reputable coins while the market is still bearish and red. But still, focus on preventive measures before having fun in gambling. Keep safe.

To combat covid-19, the government advised us to stay at home while they do the disinfection in our community. Some works, classes, and even NBA games this season were canceled for security measures.

For those people who gamble mostly in NBA games, I think this is the time to try another sports and make a bet on it for entertainment purposes. You can explore other sports for the mean time that is still available to gamble upon while the NBA games are still postponed. It will serve as a diversion for you. This can be beneficial to you at some point because you’ll be able to try new thing out of your used to gamble games and you’ll learn to appreciate other sports too.
