So,...
-how's it going when it goes to your daily life?
-how's it going when it comes to your social life?
And lastly...
-how's it going when it comes to your gambling life?

All of this will be based only on what you have done in this past month of Quarantine. Although it is very common that we can't see any games in relation to sports, even so there are quite a number of shareable experiences that you might have done in this past month that you have never done in the past years.

So what do you think? Do it really had a big difference?

- not that different from the usual since I'm still unemployed and has been months in home.
- Not that much to say it improves same as I occasionally check my social medias.
- In the past weeks I've been active playing with other users here on poker tourneys but ever since I think I can't made it until championship round I lie low a little. I consider myself a casual gambler.

For me I think there's a slight difference and that's when I'm into more now on online gaming compare way back quarantine hasn't been implemented, more like a peer influence on my community.

When the pandemic outbreak starts to spread it's hit hard the casinos because they are one of the most visited places over the world because of the people who want to play more gambling and most of the rules of different countries today makes a movement of temporary look down even on their cities and cause of some establishment getting close. I'm not totally a fan of a casino but I made always visiting the casino just to enjoy the ambiance of the place. Most of my games are played into the world of online gambling because it is easier to play some gambling activities also it has less pressure, unlike the casino you can make chill and play. But still, it is better to play well and don't too much confidence still it is gambling. In terms of income, it is more limited to play because we have different businesses and activities on our houses to not get bored and stress in gambling too.

Nothing much. There is still gambling life in dice online. One day, I tried to tally the patterns of the results until my adrenaline spikes and then lose when finally a losing streak hits me.

There is still social life, I can still go outside sit in my backyard where my neighbors still doing their everyday life in their backyard too. We can still shout hello to each other.

Turned out very positive for me since the quarantine started and table tennis became the hit of the year its giving huge returns to me and my clients every single day :)

Climbing from rank Master to Legend III in Mobile Legend is not bad. Time killing activity during the quarantine after work. Much easy (but of course, still a challenge and time consuming) to rank up compare playing solo as before quarantine, I can't play with my friends/team on the same available time.

So what's the relation of this into gambling? Because of this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2773081).

I'm planning to have this back as my concern about the availability of my teammate can now be worked on. Hope there will be more players to participate this time.

My daily life is quite boring and includes mainly working, studying, and watching stuff, all done from home. Once every two days, I go to the supermarket to buy food. And this has been going on for 1.5 months now. Social life, as you can expect, is not great, but at least I have my spouse here with me as well as a few video chats per week because of my work (I'm a school teacher). When it comes to gambling, some of my friends have been gambling significantly more than before but this is not the case for me. I am generally playing it very carefully because, to be honest, I am a bit afraid of getting addicted. Moreover, with a full-time Master's program and a part-time job, I don't have much spare time, even during the quarantine.

There must be a change since quarantine by the government not only in the world of gambling in other ways is also experiencing the same thing, I always think when the casino is open again...!

I personally am very fond of betting in football gambling, I always get an advantage if betting, since gambling is stopped at the ball while I am not so fond of betting, except that the land casino has also been closed.
Online gambling dice sites, poker, have also experienced problems in the last few years, I can only hope that all of this can be better and the quarantine will soon be back to normal, hope.

I seldom gamble online now maybe twice a week now since this pandemic started, funds is very limited and more concern in what's happening in my country which is on extended community quarantine, no work, no activity elsewhere within the city, and we are trying to flatten to curve and we are hoping that it will happen sooner than later.

   For me it's easy and simple, I have more free time for everything, even for gambling at evenings when kids go
to sleep. I play dices and crash game more then I played these games before. In crash game I enjoy more, the
thrill from watching that bar and waiting for right time to get out is addictive. I don't spend much, I mostly gamble
with minimum bet amount and I like to wait high odds.
   

LoL  ;D ;D It sounds like everyone is free during this quarantine, I don't get that. I was even more busy than usual, sometimes I couldn't do my workload, I had to stay up all night just to work. I had to switch from working in the company to working online, my productivity decreased because I had a lot of things to worry about every day, moreover, the workload was also more, It puts me under pressure. I don't have time to play any games, including gambling  :-[ It's been over two weeks, I can't even hang out anywhere

It was very difficult especially in the enhanced community quarantine I guess at this time gambling was I great idea but only for those who has funds or money, I rather save my money for emergency than spending it on gambling.I think it is less risky to spend your money in gambling after the Quarantine we never know the virus might not stop at any moment and we never know if we could survive it.

I did the same if I play or gamble online I make sure we have all we need in this lockdown, there is no guaranty when is the exact date the lockdown will be lifted we are getting relief from our government but I don't think it can keep up giving to people, times will come that they will only give to selected people if the lockdown here continues.

I switched from casino-based gambling to just dice and coin flips for virtual game items and not primarily cryptocurrency. I have little to no time gambling and there aren't much outlets here that I can use to buy crypto, so I resort to using my in-game items in several online games that I play for gambling and it has been working pretty well so far--not to mention the enjoyment that it also brings after shift and when I'm alone at home. I still do 15-hr shifts every day but still manage to get an hour or so of gambling on some days when I'm not tired and it's pretty satisfying seeing greens on the balance.

Time is spent on watching news and youtube for me. I found hundreds of users commenting on any video and they watched it all because of lockdown.

I tried playing dice I lose some money so I decide not to continue just hold for now because this lockdown may last for months. I'm starting to think of buying food supplies like thousands of cup noddles.

As you explained, there are no sports betting so no live betting. I am not a fan of the esports and prefer to gamble with traditional markets. I have used mainly the Betfair platforms for laying and bidding the bets before the start but there are not these features on the crypto gambling platforms. Let's wait and see when the world becomes normal.

Anyway, during this quarantine period we only live in the house and when we have to leave the house, then it's just to buy food and other necessities and no more social life as usual, and that's a very different thing during this quarantine so I think of life social seems no longer safe for us, maybe more precisely because of the advice about social distancing and honest, it is something very strange because basically humans live as social creatures. About gambling life I think it can still work as usual if you are familiar with online gambling and also, about sports betting, actually it's not really gone, so gambling life during this quarantine period at least every gambler has his own choice to continue betting or maybe choose to take a break from gambling to save expenses.

Are you unemployed because of covid or were you unemployed before that?

It is pretty much same for me too. I don't think covid really changed people's gambling habits that much. Maybe they are wagering less money because they think they might gonna need the money for more serious stuff later. (like medicine you know)

It is the same for me.

I was unable to make money (offline) during this pandemic, My offline business doesn't work at all..  so I decided to pause to play gambling during this "PANDEMIC" emergency. the government in my country has announced to all its citizens to save money because there is no certainty when this "PANDEMIC" ends..

lol.. good decision, stock up on noodles as supplies  :D

I agree with you esports can't replace real sports, even for betting. I think esport is less predictable than real sport and scamming bettors is more easy unfortunately  :-\ I had a bad experience the other day on a DOTA2 tournament.

Its not really ideal to spend too much money in times like these on where savings is really needed to sustain up for long rather than spending it unwisely on gambling.

On topic, my gambling life during quarantine doesnt changed that much because i do still bet a little (just like my casual days) in gambling where i dont risk up that much
no matter what.

For heavy gamblers out there then there would be some significant effect on them since they've been used to it but for us who do just play for fun and doesnt
put up much focus towards it then it isnt really that much a problem.

Who wins the dice? None lol.
Those kind of gambling game sucks. I feel like it was programmed to get your money.
You should play pvp gambling games like poker/ chinese poker instead of playing RNG games.
Another thing, you must be exaggerating with that thousands of cup noddle. That'll give you serious illness in your urinary lol.

Haven't have done much of gambling this time since the pandemic, I gotta save money for what ever may happen during the lockdown. Plus, sports were all suspended so I left no other choice but to play online games and avoid spending in gambling, at least during the pandemic lockdown.

How exactly?

Dice sites usually have a pretty transparent house edge, sure they're designed to make you lose in the long run, but it's still possible to beat the house.

Even sports have a house edge, it's called the margin, so don't think that you're not losing money while sports betting...

Well, people do have their own preference on what kind of gambling game they would like neither a dice or strategy based one.
Yeah its exaggerated if we do talk about thousand of cup noodles.LOL! We do really need to save up money for this time
and i agree on what most people been talking on here that we shouldnt waste up money on crisis like this because we wont
know on when this one would end.

I'm a gambler online and offline so with this quarantine my gambling life has taken a 180° turn, it's stagnant for now and of course no winnings and no losses which is somehow a good thing at least for the moment.

One good thing this quarantine has brought is that i have more time to tend to my cock and hopefully i can fight this out in a cockfight arena when this crisis is over.

I no longer gamble because of the stone, and now all I try to do is stay at home!!Saving money in this crisis is one of my priorities, and I cannot lose it in exchange for fun. We do not know when this crisis will end, and for this I advise everyone to save their money and allocate it to get some supplies :-\

Let's change this to fighting cock instead to make it sound good lol.

Cockfighting is one of the expensive gambling activities. I'm amazed you able to maintain given the current situation the country is facing today.


You really take his statement in literal terms.

The user might be comparing his overall experience when it comes to playing dice sites against sports betting.

We have a thing called margin in sports betting but more manageable to win here rather than to rely on the possibility to beat the house.

I'm really up to save money for now since the quarantine days still not undefined on when it will last and also I don't have any sports to bet right now that's why gambling times is limited on other casino games but always make sure right now that I only gamble the extra money I got since I don't know on what will happen if this pandemic will last for even next year then that would be a tragedy.

Man, it really had difference! Without my ordinary lifetime, without pubs and hookahs, sitting mostly at home (and walking outside for 2-3 hours per day with a dog) i started to gamble again :0 Of course this is not dice or another shit, Holdem poker, but anyway i don't like that for honest :0

In one hand it's better than computer games, but on the other hand it can be much worse. I didn't heard about people which lost everything to CS.Go :0

Daily life? Nothing changes since I can still do most of my daily routines. The only thing that I can't do right now is to go to a basketball court to watch or play but aside from that, nothing changed that much
Social life? I'm an introvert person so.... nothing changed too :D.
Gambling life? I stopped gambling already for a long time.

Now for those who are bored out there, always find another way to spend your time. I'm spending most of my time playing online games so that I will not be bored in our home :). Stay safe :).

My life haven't changed so much. I still go to work, so I'm not forced to spend days at home. I'm trying to excercise a bit - ride bike, running and lose some extra weight. But social life obviously changed too much. I can't go out with my friends, go to public events like sports, concerts cinema.
Sometimes it feels like I live in some science fiction movie or bad dream and when I will wake up, everything will be over. But seems that worst in past already and government lifting quarantine restrictions step by step.
This lockdown have huge influence to my gambling activities. I rarely play dice, slots and other games on online casinos, I prefer sports betting. And you know how much sports in action we have these days. My betting volume probably decreased by 90%...

Due to quarantine my life become more and more boring therefore I always look for an alternative on how to ease my boredom. And because of it I put more times in gambling as it is one of the alternative in easing my boredom but I always put a limitation in my capital therefore I cannot put too much time in gambling especially if I lose my capital.

The difference is very big if we are going to compare it to the times that there is no quarantine because the time that I put in gambling become more compare to the time that there is no quarantine.

Because I have a business in the real world, the business I have is forced to be temporarily closed until the spread of the corona virus
can be stopped.So my daily life is quite affected, I have trouble earning an income. When it comes to social life, there isn't much change.
Because I indeed rarely socialize with people. And for my gambling life, usually every weekend I like to play gambling at the casino, now
more lots of gambling online at home.

The gambling activities might be affected since you don't need to schedule yourself to go to casino it's easy to play in front of your computer or any device that have access to the internet. I don't have much changes aside from some sports betting since the game that i love to bet is affected by the lockdown only few dice game when I'm bored just killing some time and spare budget.

Like everyone else, there are no pubs, clubs or cinemas to frequent, the same goes for IRL casinos who are probably taking this opportunity to do maintenance or medium term projects (change the layout of the venue which has been ongoing at the Star Brisbane and Gold Coast for a while).

Once the new venue in Brisbane is open (ironically post Pandemic) I have no doubt many people (myself included) will be looking forward to heading back into town for a night out and a flutter on the tables.  One thing I'll be keen to see is whether the local Casinos have totally reissued their poker chips with new designs, colours or logos.  Every once in a while it's nice to souvenir a chip.

Yes, it is a big difference than the last month because now, I cannot go out from home freely. My daily life has been at homes, and my social life reduced a lot because I cannot meet other people from my environment or if I want to meet them, I need to use social distance because that is what my government suggest. But we are not complaining because that is what we should do to prevent body contact or hand contact with other people and to prevent the virus.

My gambling life was not a problem because I only gamble in online gambling without trying to go to some casino. So when the casino shut down, I think that is not affected to me, and I don't feel anything because I can still play gambling in the gambling site.

But now, I cannot watch any sports games on television because all of the sports game cancelled the match until the situations can be normal again. I understand, and I can accept because of this pandemic.

I'm totally aware the house edge every gambling websites has it.
What I'm trying to say is, at least the outcome would be transparent and there's no way the house is rigging the game. I don't care about the margin, as long as I am contented and convince by the outcome of my bets.
I don't want to fall for any RNG and It's algorithms.

It kinda has. Before lockdown, I used to gamble only in the spare time. It was like a way to get out of routine. In the intital days of the quarantine, I gambled a lot and then I realized if I continued I would go bankrupt! Hence I locked my coins for weeks now :D

Mostly time spent with my family and struggling to find source of income because most job hiring opportunity is on halt because of the lockdown. Right now, i haven't been able to play to gambling games because im more focus in surviving and to buy food and necessities. Maybe someday if i got time and money i'll be playing once more and bet to my favourite sports when all things are back to normal.

well there are many changes specially in my daily routine.
lessen ,i barely talk to others unless in social media.
Enjoying online gambling now but i missed my gambling Buddies here in our local place.
for people like me that spend more time of my life outside the House/yeah there are really a very big difference .

My deepest condolences on you bud  :P
well, I can tell you're still lucky to have your work compared to us who are affected of "NO WORK, NO PAY" policies, LoL, so we're not really getting any money from the company so it's kinda hard for us to get the things that we need during this quarantine.

---

I'm pretty overwhelmed of the things that you guys have shared so far :)

Its being a opposite for me as I have tried to explore many other options and finding this lockdown to connect to people, explore more and more of my passions and learn and re-learn many things. Learn cooking and read books etc. This does not happen during the normal routine if life.

Same with me mate! I am investing right now on my self by learning new things, I am currently taking online classless at udemy and reading books for my self development and yeah, sometimes gambling to entertain myself after long hours of learning. If you are privileged enough to don't get hungry by this quarantine, you should take advantage of it to learn something new! Hope you all stay safe! and keep hustling  ;D ;D ;D

Well its different now because I have more time to play because before the virus hits us I have work and busy. I have no time to gamble except when rest day or holiday.

This lockdown gave me a long break from work and a time to bond with my family which I dont usually do before, thats the good sides of staying at home.

But still I dont gamble often even at home, I only play if im in the mood.

My daily life has been busy cleaning the house doing some online works and other things.
My social life hasn't changed I still have connections with my friends still manage to have some nice conversation but the most affected right now is my gambling life,
I couldn't afford to do it since I prioritize my family needs so I would just set it aside for now and wait for things to finally go back to normal.

Yes, I am lucky because I am in a country where only 270 infected case so far and 220 people have been cured. Overall, the situation is very positive and probably I will go to work normally in early May. I really look forward to the time when I'm going out anywhere on the weekend, the pressure of working online is so large and I seem to be suffocating. Condolences to those of you who can't work and don't have a paycheck, but you can get some money on this forum. I also look forward to the end of the epidemic so that the work becomes more favorable, it is good for all of us. Maybe I should join in gambling next weekend for fun, I am stressed  ::)

My gambling life during quarantine summarized in a single word: Fun!

I am primarily gambling for fun since I am focused on saving money efficiently at present thanks to COVID. Am not gambling seriously at all except for the rare occasion.

I advise all gamblers to consider the current conditions before wagering your hard earned money. Don't throw it away or you might regret it later.

My daily routine has been affected in a negative way. I'm getting fat i repeat, I'm getting fat. Tried severally to do some home workout exercise but it seems it's not having any effect on my body as I can't see any difference. Before the lockdown I was on constant gym workout which I used to keep my body in shape and healthy but it seems all that was a waste of my time since I'm rapidly return to my old far self 🤦. Tried minimizing my food intake but that isn't helping matters either.

No difference in my social life, before the lockdown I wasn't much of a outing guy so not missing much due to the lockdown. But my gambling life has received some set back. Not much of a gambler but when I do gamble it's mostly sport related (football to be specific) but since that has been on a hold it also means I haven't gambled for quite sometime now.

Since I have a lot of free time currently, I have seen a lot of posts about how people are winning lots of money with gambling. There are two that I saw that makes me want to gamble again. The first one is the dude who won £400,000 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5242283.0). That's amazing how that is currently. The second one is the tweet from Bitsler (https://twitter.com/BitSler/status/1253066158963654658) who won 2.95 BTC.

I can't imagine how lucky they are with having that win. It's that easy, and I'm amazed by it, literally. I can say that I'm a little jealous of it, but that's life. That's making me feel that I want to gamble again and risk some of the money that I earned.

Pretty much that's everything related to gambling that has happened to me during the quarantine.

Actually not bad, because I can still focus on doing some of my stuff, I can spend more time learning about the crypto world. This is the good thing about this pandemic virus, it gives us more time to spend our time on what we want to do, spend time on our family and other things but don't get me wrong the negative sides that this virus gives to us cannot overcome by it's positive.
I spend it on chatting on my friends but it is not that happier compared before, where I can talk to them personally and make laugh with them.
Nothing happens because I am not really using in playing casino gambling, I am only playing online gambling so I spend some of my time doing gamble.

As pandemic virus still existing all over the world we are all required to stay at home because of the community quarantine, so we will have more time to spend our time at home.
I am so bored because it has been so long we are home and it is really so boring because I cannot do some of the things I want to do, just like playing basketball and having fun with my friends.
It goes normal because I can still talk to my friends through the use of messenger and twitter just like what I actually do before but it is really different when talking to your friends personally.
So bad because I want to play casino gambling just like before, it is really different when playing casino gambling and playing online gambling, I prefer more casino gambling or real-life gambling because it is happier to spend your time on it because of so many people I where you can interact with

being introvert, working from home, not having many friends. I'd say still the same, but I wouldn't say lonely since my dog and cat got that covered for me. but I'm so bored, playing different games doesn't satisfy my boredom anymore.
not much, but I don't mind.
I experienced my longest losing streak last week(not per bet but per gambling session) but still enjoyed the mind games I had with other players playing poker.

Well the first 4 weeks of the quarantine, I would say was easy to control my gambling. However, news say that are country will have a extended lock down so it will be another struggles. Although there is still online as a option for now, but I love to go to physical casinos.

So yes it could be day to day grind, but most of the times, I just think of those people around the world that is affected and dying and that makes me control my self and think of how lucky am I surviving in this pandemic.

Have nothing change for me...online gambling is what I live for several years and to this time since we are lockdown and less outside leisure, I may spend a lot of time on this. Maybe it was worse as people may think (and maybe they are right) but to the extent that I can still control my emotions and stick to the limit, I guarantee myself that I'm still not falling into addiction.

We know how hard to earn money at this time that makes me think about to lessen the time spend in gambling and save my money if this pandemic will still continue for another week.

There's nothing change on me because ain't a regular gambler. Maybe I will prioritize our needs before I will go to gambling. Most people now didn't have work and usually, they had a financial problem like having food on the table or maybe toilet paper that very important to have during the quarantine.

But there are some gamblers willing to risk their money just to gamble. And there are also won a massive amount of Bitcoin recently on gambling site maybe trying your luck to gamble during this quarantine isn't bad. My advice is to gamble only of what you can afford to lose.

No gambling for now or very limited time in gambling than usual, but it's alright, I understand the situation, we are facing a dangerous virus, so we need to stay at home and do what we can do to entertain ourselves, for sure there's a lot of things that would entertain us even if we are not gambling anymore.

this situation will pass for sure, but for now, we have no choice.

Hmmm, boredom as usual bro, though the stay at hone has been yielding good results for me and the entire family because of my new career in cryptocurrency and hope the lockdown be extend again for more achievement.


Am a type who don't make real life friends base on my past experiences in life. Categorically, am doing great socially as everything tend to move in positive direction.


 ;) am very much careful with myself in order to maintain my promised to myself and my family that: funds meant for the family use won't be use again for gambling. Am now a repentant gambler.


Yea, a big difference bro, the above statements are true live stories.

That's funny though. Toilet paper. I guess in my area, people got tired of buying toilet paper, as of now, we have no shortage of TP in supermarkets.

But with regards to the topic, we are in the same boat. I'm not also a regular gambler so nothing much of a difference from before and now. I believe those regular ones who suddenly lose their source of income will have a life changing in terms of their gambling life.


Nice! I admire you for keeping your promise not only to you but to your family as well.  ;)

There are some adjustments especially every extension of quarantine days. During this quarantine I just decided to promote gambling so that I earn some bitcoin. I'm afraid to be run out of money. There are so many expenses so money is really important. Although I know I can only earn  a little bitcoin in here but at least I can use this to buy load.

To be honest, My life has changed a lot since this pandemic came. I usually go out more often every day to look for something beneficial whether it is knowledge or money. Things are not the same now I wonder when will it be back to normal again. There is so much different when those games are active like the NBA games and the other, we have so much entertainment in our life every day. it seems that the world will not back again until further notice by each of our own governments.

Very dull.... This quarantine has to be over soon, and the sports that i usually bet on has to resume so I'll be able to resume betting again.
TBH, I temporarily forget gambling because I am busy with other skills, I'm learning a lot online especially on the IT side, but as soon as the sports will resume, I'll be focus again on what I usually do.

I'm unemployed even the pandemic hasn't started yet, I am applying for uniform service since I passed the exam last year but this was postponed because of the said crisis. I've been into gambling really these days not to gain that much money but just to pass time, I'm not that of a gambler.

Boring days are passing away... We are living in Gambling when we don't have much desire. We are going through really hard days. I was mostly betting on sports events. And all of the leagues are currently on hold.

Away from gambling and I’m more on trading right now where we can also consider as gambling. Well, the whole quarantine makes me realize the important things in life, to stay thankful to the Lord and spend the time with my family. Gambling will be back to normal, gamblers are just having time to relax and to reflect for so many things, better to stay safe gamblers because we will fill up the casinos when things get to normal.

Both daily, social, and gambling life were just the same. Nothing exciting since the quarantine happened. I can't go outside, meet other people, do the things I want. About gambling, I don't want to gamble that much since we need to save money since lockdown keeps on extending. Even if I want to gamble online or make bets with e-sports, I need to refrain from doing it.

Although I don't really go outside normally, being forced not to go outside is kinda boring than doing it without someone telling you to stay inside. Right now, I'm focusing on my school requirements, improving my knowledge here by reading, and saving money for our daily expenses.

For all those who bet on sports only, their gambling life is so very dull. I also used to go gambling on cricket matches and these days there are no matches to bet upon. Every passing day is become more dull and boring. I hope this is over soon and we are back to our normal lifes.

When you are locked in the whole day, you do not feel the urge to do anything. The same is happening with me I have not been to any gambling website from day one. When there is so much uncertainty in the world and you do not know what will happen next how can you enjoy and gamble?

For all those who are saying that Quarantine and lockdown life is boring and dull, I would like to say to them that they should consider themselves lucky that they are safe in home with money and food. Think of those who are effected with this virus and those who lost their jobs/business because of this virus.
Its time to forget about gambling and other activities, and help the people around us who are in trouble and hunger.

Since the first day of quarantine, all I did all day is wake up, eat, play games, eat , play games again eat again, play games again then sleep. Games can be online game like COD. I also tried playing Teken. The next day I'll just repeat it. Later on I decided to join campaigns in alts or in services to earn bitcoin then I also study trading by watching videos in youtube, researching in google and ofcourse reading here in forum.

I have no social and lesser gambling life during this quarantine, our city is in lockdown and all things are uncertain now, we just had our 15 days extension I would love play from time to time but I have to save every penny, because there is no guaranty when will this last long I'm just glad that the market is not suffering I kept some of my coins and this will be our lifesaver.

Even before the start of quarantine, I am already working from home, so, nothing is different.
And in my gambling life, I want to avoid gambling for now. Since I wanted to save enough money until this quarantine ends.

For me, nothing really, the only difference right now is I can't go outside unlike before especially if I got bored.

   All in all you have a good time, right? Having fun with playing games, earning Bitcoins with your
signature, gambling when you wish. That sounds like a good life.
   People should find some fun, and many of us found fun in gambling and that's not strange. It's just
important to limit your founds to not get in trouble with spending more money, but in all this you can
also be lucky and win something nice. Gambling is testing our chances, and I like to test mine during
this lockdown!

Just like everyone else my life has been affected as a result of this outbreak. Usually I use profit gotten from my bet to fund some of my daily needs but that's unlikely to happen anytime soon. My favorite casinos has been on lockdown so has other physical casinos in my area and when I try other alternative it doesn't favor me so I just put everything on pause at the moment.

Lol, yeah fighting cock sounds good than cock but i think "bird" is the more appropriate word to use.


Yeah it is, but i've only got a few birds so that i could maintain their health very well.

This COVID will change the landscape of cockfighting industry in our country kabayan. I don't know if it could go back to where it left as the scenario of a cockfight arena is so crowded that people will be hesitant to go inside even after this pandemic, the trauma is already there.

It became a controlled gambling method.  ;D

Before, I would use amounts that I kind of regret when I lose.
But now, there is a need to control the money since there is a possibility that this quarantine could go longer.
I never thought there will be a time like this.
I also miss going outside playing poker with different people. It's still the better game for me rather than playing virtual.

We shouldnt really be careless on spending money into this situation since we dont know on when this pandemic would end.
If you do only have sufficient money for living then its not ideal to waste up money on gambling or any other things.
Always priority on to things which are needed because this one will surely end and would go back to our normal lives.
I agree that the experience is totally different when we do play online and offline and thats what im missing but now
this isnt the important thing for you to push on.

But it is getting extended long and long mate,our first quarantine supposed to
 end last april 15 then extended to april 30
and now extended again to may 15.
i have same feeling mate boredom and missing Sports because this is one of
my hobby and now just being contended
 in Replays but It is ok because what is important that my family is safe in this virus.
About my gambling Life now is just playing Cards with my cousin since we have a rooftop to make bonding even in this lockdown.

Just a normal. I mean nothing changed even in this quarantine period. Actually, this is the good chance to give quality time for family rather than more focusing in gambling.
 Though I still gamble and have a time also for finding out new strategy. And, I am still working from home and need to prioritize work rather than gambling.

In reality, it's quite boring but I try to be productive everyday to prevent boredom and to have physical activities so that I can stay fit and healthy after this quarantine. This pandemic is really a nuisance to all of us, most especially to workers who are really working hard just to earn money. I'm still waiting on the support of the government because I don't have any work and my brother is just working from home, all of us in our family can't go to work because of the risk of getting the virus.


I'm still talking to my friends and classmates, my lover and sometimes we are having deep conversation with my family. Thanks to the social medias and technology because there is still a communication between all of us, we can play some games in a digital platform, like online games and we are enjoying this quarantine although it is not that easy to be in this situation.


I stopped from gambling for awhile because I want to take this opportunity to spend my time with my family as this quarantine is still not lifted. This is the time where we can enjoy our time, take care of ourselves, focus on something, and seize the opportunity to do what we should do inside our house. I know that most of us really wants to gamble so bad, but there are online gambling that I tried for a short period of time because I just want to feel the gambling casino although it is digital.

Not really good since we are all restricted with our freedom to do what we want to do, we are living in life that is way different from the one we've had before this pandemic, and I guess we have to live like this in the next 10 months until our scientist find a cure to this COVID 19 and there's a possibility that this could take longer.

A little different from the usual, its hard to go out, our place have schedule and its dangerous because outside you might get infected, and also might bring it at home,.
for social life its just the same as usual, but right now i'm just only reading and not interact since i'm a bit busy at home
well in gambling i think i spend more when it comes to gambling during this ecq, but can control it.

Not that much except that I can't go out at any time that I want because of the lockdown. My life has been the same, the activities that I do while being at home even before the covid-19 outbreak has been the same.

The majority has been in lockdown and probably feeling the boredom these days.

The quarantine made a really difficult time for us gamblers as we are far from what we used to - playing at casinos while socializing. Yet the lesson behind this all is that we must take an attention to online gambling and platforms in which has a good opportunity in times like this.

I'm one of those who feel it, the boredom is quite unbearable I have to look for ways to fight it, every day is just news on TV and the internet we are on total lockdown, not much we can do but to hope and pray everything will be back to normal, I gamble from time to time but of course, I have to limit the fund because of the uncertainty.

It's going a little bit boring for me. Because all the time at the home is forcing to me be bore. But it's really good that I can give some more time to my family. And some tv shows is helping me to relax. But there is no live sports now.
It's very complicated. I can not out of the home due to the recent condition of the world. The big thing that I missing is playing cricket.  :'( And I am becoming very lazy nowadays.
I am not much gambler really. But sometimes I am playing some games for testing purposes.
I personally don't feel it's a very big difference till now. But it's sure there have some differences.

I am not an addict but in general I do gamble once or more than once in a month. But this time under lockdown and with all the negativity surrounding me ai did not event visit the website.it has been more than 30 days now and I do not even feel like being there. With too much of uncertainty how can you even thi k of getting entertained.

As long as you have internet, you can search and watch anything you want. Don't rely on television with entertainment because it's expected that all channels will be monitoring the progress on this COVID-19 fight.

Gamble whenever you want to and always with the amount you won't regret playing.

I am stuck in my house for almost more than a month now and it is really boring. It is even difficult to buy some food due to the limited hours and limited stores that are open. In regards to sovial life, it is zero, I am really bored as hell. I spent my time watching movies, playing mobile games and etc. I haven't been gambling for a while now.

I'm lot a prisoner now, lol (kidding)..

well, I really miss gambling but there's nothing we can do since the games that I like to spend time are suspended right now.
I'm talking about NBA games where I can put my bet even on a daily basis, TBH, I already miss posting in the NBA thread, but right now, no... just trying to relax at home and think of our things that would kill my boredom.

There are free sites now that will allow us to play gambling games like poker, different card games without gambling real money. It may gets boring but it will limit us to gambling at times we need money the most for our essentials needs. I play more games now than doing gambling, thou I still visit and bet sometimes when I got some extra money from online sideline.

I usually do what needs to be done at home and after that using my free time to go online. I really don't gamble too much and I can't go online much because don't have personal internet connection. Luckily that there is an app in my country that able me to load my sim card and can gamble online when I have internet load.

Good to hear that because you are a responsible person to do first the necessaries before extending time in online.
ohh that's sad to hear mate hope after this pandemic you will have your own internet to be more active in this forum.
if happen that you win good,please priority your Internet mate.
Social life is not applicable now because of Social distancing but at least we can have talking in social media accounts.

During the quarantine I have totally stopped my gambling activity.
The reason for that is that my income is somehow cut due to the fact that I do not work the same hours as I used to do previously. So I am trying to save some money for activities that are related to my family and children.

I salute you for doing that, it's always family first before anything else, or before gambling.
It's true that gambling is fun, but it should not be the priority especially if we lack of funds now, good thing your mind is still in good state, it never came into your mind to try to risk your money in gambling, hoping it will grow, some people would do, good job to you mate.

There are many learning during this lockdown including in gambling and it is that we can stay away or try to get our self in such a situation that we only gamble when we need to and say no when we do not need to. That much self-discipline if we can get it we will be sure not get addicted in future anytime. Also it gives us time to take break and explore something different which in our normal life we live a routine life. So a great chance to develops new skills too.

Were somewhat the same :D.

Before I play online games, I used to finish some household chores in our house. The lockdown helped me to become more helpful right now because I'm not that helpful before this pandemic happens because there are times that I go out and play basketball and other games.

I'm thinking that we are in the same country because that is what I'm doing too. Loading myself so that I can play online :D. I don't gamble too :D.
Ok I conclude that we are doing the same things :D :D.

Well, we are the same. We need to have prior first our family even we are regular gamblers.
Nothing much is different except that I cannot go to work. I also have plenty of time to do the household chores like regularly I wash my clothes. Indeed, nowadays I always have so much time to play online gambling to the point that I am getting addicted to again. That's how it differs from my daily life before and during this quarantine, --but only for the amount of what I can afford to gamble, nothing else matters.

My gambling life during quarantine still okay, and I still enjoy my time, but I think there is a reducing time in my time playing gambling because I believe I have much time with my family. But I feel difficult to go out since there are barriers from the government on every road, and there are officers that will warn people to come back to their homes if they don't have important things. But so far, I think that it is necessary to prevent more infected people here, so that is what they need to do.

Not normal we've been going like this, if you are the kind of guy who always on travel and meeting new people, you will find yourself in a new environment, we need to protect ourselves by doing social distancing not much that we can do right now, because of the pandemic, my gambling life also suffers because we are in work vacation and less pay, I have to buy our necessities of course.

Well, i've temporaly reduced the bets, as sports events were affected quite heavily and just now they seems to slowly come back. For who was betting in football it has been a tough month!  :)

Gambling is going on very good actually. Crossed some good ranks and some crazy experience in sportsbook betting on eSoccer and Liga Pro (Table Tennis). There were two instances when I did like 5 win streaks martingale betting on same guy with crazy performance. Packed out some good amount but lost afterwards but anyway was a new and crazy experience.

Gambling life during this quarantine has been zero,  no gambling at all,  the quarantine period has been helpful by curbing the gambling addiction in me,  there's nothing to gamble on during this period if only you wanna loose your money on some low leagues sports out there

There are no bets on sports that I think allow gambling addicts to switch to other games offered by online gambling sites. But it is good if gambling activities must also be balanced with the economic status felt during the lockdown. Revenues and expenses must be balanced if we do not want to add to our economic burden during this lockdown. Spending a lot of money to gamble during the lock is very unfortunate even though they have enough savings, imo.

Sounds good to you, but I can still bet if I want to get a little fun during quarantine. ;)

My gambling activities during the quarantine were nothing special...
During this quarantine period, I only played light gambling, not overexerting myself because during this epidemic period my mood to gamble was not too good, in addition to having to look after sick children, my husband and I also had to protect my finances.

Well for me it's more than a month now, our president decided to extend the quarantine period until May but guess who knows that it will be a month long journey for us in our houses, it's me. I've been watching some documentaries about the past pandemic/ viral outbreaks and it seems like we are going to take a long long break since the pandemic is solved at least a year when the vaccine is out for global use. There is nothing to do but to watch a movie, eat, play, cellphone and most obviously gamble, I always gamble in midnight so there would be no noise outside so I can focus.

They have been existing even before, those were called play money so that users can try them first.

aside from missing sportsbet?i also miss going to Real gambling place and not just online gaming because it becomes boring as days passing by.
i want socialization now as this quarantine is killing me.
added are the limited funds now so i am looking for safer betting and that is sports bet.hoping that after in 3rd quarter everything is back to normal and our life also.

 daily life is still continous because im working online   . social life  ? no i dont have that because like i said earlier i work online so i spend the whole time inside the house    .social life now would still be the same   and lastly about gambling life ? well i can say that this lockdown gives a big impact on my gambling activitiy  . it makes me more active in gambling wanting to earn more because in my mind i need more money to buy stocks ( foods and other important items  ) because store will now be restricted here   .

I am still going to work as the lockdown rules here has been eased somewhat and I think that social distancing is not a definitive cure for the new Covid 19 virus.Gambling is going on as usual but the monthly budget will be cut during May as I lost a lot in slots during this month.

I hope you can be careful if you still going to work and make sure you can stay healthy because we don't know when this pandemic will end. I hope that you can still get paid off your work so you can fill your daily needs without a problem. We pray that this pandemic will soon end so we can back to normal life.

It depends on what you really love to do, good thing you love the games in Bustadice as they were never affected by the pandemic.
The games that were affected are the sports games, so sports bettors like me will really feel bored if we don't know how to divert our attention to other things.

^ There are big changes in everyone's gambling life like some are getting addicted to online gambling because it helps them lessen the boredom some have to lessen their gambling activity because of the need for money during the lockdown or the quarantine. I have lessened it as well because I only allocate a certain amount for gambling every time I receive my salary and since that we are still in lockdown most cannot go to work and have limited income that should be spent not into gambling. I understand that in gambling there is a 50% chance of winning and a 50% chance of losing so every time that I play gambling I do it to lessen my boredom but of course like everyone my goal is also to win. But in times like this, I pay attention to my necessities rather than gambling because I cannot afford to lose in gambling and doesn't have food to eat as well.
Nevertheless, i hope everyone is safe from this pandemic.

What advantage does the gambling sites and places have over the world status quo. If it does the government will permit it's function at this quarantine period. There wasn't much opportunities to gamble during  quarantine many gambling places were shut. If only people will do indoor gambling or online. But it will still be limited because most games are also pending.

Well, previously i used to go out with for day to day work and college and now I am totally at house arrest, can't go out at all. Also I used to go out with my friends in weekends but since lockdown I've only managed to FaceTime them or Talk with them on instant messaging services.
I've been gambling higher than usual not because I have become addicted to gambling, but because I have very few other options to pass my time.

Though the lockdown here hasn't given me the full time to exploit the world of gambling. I have been gambling online with some free cash which has actually yielded me some pretty good profits and am happy for the lockdown even though many have complained it unproductive. This time has brought me some good sense of legend games and I have been doing well on the platform and hope to get higher on the levels.

The first few days of lockdown are fine but the longer it gets, it becomes more boring doing the same thing repeatedly.  Although I don't go to physical casinos, I find online gambling sometimes boring when you're doing the same thing most of the time. Even if I play online games, I can't make bets on it because others would not want it since they also need to save their money. So I just play without betting.

I bet most of us are eager to socialize with other people but we can't really fo that right now. It sucks, but there's nothing we can do about it. I do hope the same thing that everything would go back to normal.

There's nothing to be played nowadays, because of the rules of lockdown in each country. right now what we need to do is get some new habits with our kids. we need to spend our precious time with them. we had been wasting our time through the years and never have some really precious moments with them. we need to have some memorable activities with them.

Yes, you are right. We can try to create something with them so we can enjoy our time while with them. By hanging out with them in our home or playing with them, they will have a good memory about us, and that is worth it for us. Our kids are the important thing in our life, so we need to pay attention to them and having some time with them.

There are a lot of games in online casinos to gamble at.
It depends if you are a sports gambler, a casino gamer or something else. If you are a casino gambler then lockdown doesn't cause any pause in your gambling activity as there are games such as dice or plinko that can let you keep your gambling activity.

I am gambling on both, I do sports betting and betting on dice, plinko and etc, but I really miss sports gambling because of my entire budget, this is the kind of gambling that I allocate the biggest. This pandemic just stop me or us from doing sports betting.

That's what i am pointing mate even how enjoyable the game is but if you are doing the same each day it becomes boring specially if you don't know that much other games aside from your favorites because for sure you will lose and may be frustrated .
well if this is what will make things better lets just help the government,so the quarantine will not be extended again and also may keep us all safer from this Virus.

Well, in the lock down we can only spend time with the kids in the home. We cannot go out or take them to the parks and other kids entertainment places.
Also kids feel too much bored while stuck at home all day long with no school, no friends etc. Everyone along with the kids are looking to find way out of this quarantine.

Spending time with your kids instead of using your money to gamble, find things to kill some time while the virus still spreading. Not a heavy gamer though I also spend some crypto inside dice and sports betting but because of this crisis I prefer to save my money and spare my time with my kids,
it's much enjoyable to play with your kids and know them as they are growing so fast, this pandemic virus also give us opportunities to show our love
with them instead of risking your money and wasting your time betting.

yes there was a big difference because before i can still play gambling on public when the quarantie havent started but now that there is now quarantine i can only stay at home to play gambling  .

 this was the only time i never roam on public for gambling but i think staying at home still have some benefits because im starting to discover new gambling sites and new gambling games that i also havent tried before but my passion for public gambling is still there and wont never change

 :D those on my beck hardly allow me to enjoy the lockdown stay at home pronouncements from the government. This has been my worst time since I was born, the kids haven't given me the needed time to have a genuine rest. It has been from one assignment to another and this keep me boring. For gambling, I haven't get enough time for gambling per se but sometimes get some apps games on Android.

This lockdown had been the worst thing I have experienced. I usually stay at home during my normal days, I just go out to buy food, groceries, or to see my friends in my free time. It has been almost 2 months since the lockdown started and I haven't been bored as this my entire life. I am stuck in our office, good thing we have other stuff to do around here while locked down. Hope this ends soon.

So at least you are normal in this kind of situation when your life is always at home while we are not ,Because i am the type of person that usually outdoor having my work and also some other meet ups outside my work.

there are some chances also that People like us never stay in house for how many days,only coming home to sleep at night and in the morning outside again.

My Boredom is really that covering me now and i wish this will end soon.

If I have to sacrifice my gambling life just to end this pandemic soon, I would, life is more important than gambling, i know we are all bored now but we have to look at a serious note on how and why the world is in pandemic now.

As a gambler, we like to entertain ourselves regularly as we already get used to it, especially if our job is online, just one click away, we can then gamble, but we are in serious trouble right now, we need this pandemic to stop and let the government sort things out on how the economy will start to recover.

Somehow I manage to not play since the lockdown happen. One reason is that I am anticipating something so I decided not to use my crypto holdings to gamble, also I do prioritize the things that I would need for a daily living right now which I think is enough reason to not use money with gambling right now. In my country, there is a shortage with regards to the supply which forced me to have a stock of goods as early as possible and since theres no guarantee of when will things be back to normal, I am saving money for emergency purposes. But surely, I would be back playing once things are 'normalized', it is just for me that this is not the right time to gamble.

Also, I got myself busy with other things such as watching movies aiding my urge to gamble. The time I am spending with movies somehow helps me to not think of gambling at this moment. A matter of making yourself busy and to move my attention away from gambling.

It is hard to adjust on things that we not used to. No more sports, tv shows are all about news and of course reduced gambling. But even it is on what and where we are right now, days are still passing. Quarantine days is near to end. A little by little, there will be sports and casinos again. Malls are soon to be open there will arcades.  

Wrong. Malls were about to open, but it's limited to only for basic necessities apparels and groceries. Leisure places such as arcades, cinema, and other places for enjoyment that encourages to disregard the social distancing is strongly prohibited.
Sports betting on the other hand will remain cancelled for the next month the very least, because the number of cases keeps on rising and theres no way that any sporting events will resume to their respective business. Not unless if they don't allow spectators in the arena. Sounds boring, but It's actually going to be fun for the sports bettor. I hope NBA would do that.

my life for the past 16 days resume to this:

https://i.imgur.com/gefROj7.jpg

it was very difficult days


life in my country is very difficult, every day stores close early, and it is forbidden to party, listen to music with many people, and it is forbidden to leave the house if the person does not work daily. many people are losing jobs, The situation is very sad because of everything that is happening in the world


due to the fact that people from my country are unable to leave home, they are giving people options to play online and I usually play gambling


yes there was a big difference:

1 - I was sick

2- stay at home without being able to go out Is something that makes the person crazy

Played few times in online casino but after that I am not involved much in gambling activities due to this quarantine and financial issues as everyone facing in their life.Social life is also the important thing which I am losing due to quarantine, it makes m feels sick due to looking at the walls all the time.

I feel not so bad...even the lockdown continues I don't have any worries because I'm with my family and we are healthy. That is very important.
Forget social life, roaming around...I don't think these much. We can still talk to our friends, keeping them in touch via phone. Maybe we have to look back when ancient people never have a friends around but just their family members.
And talking about gambling life, have nothing change...I wasn't a gambling addict so, the same thing as what I gamble before the quarantine.

Honestly I have been doing pretty well, not gambling all that much and whenever I do it, I do it for recreational purposes and just have fun with it, not really focus on anything at all. Of course that is not really something you would want and we would want to go back to what it used to be and so forth, however I feel like I am making the most out of the situation right now.

We live in a world where everyone is locked in their houses and try to not go outside, economy is in shambles, a lot of people do not even have income. So, I feel like maybe I am doing alright, I still have my job thankfully and I basically just work and live best I can. Gambling is usually an after though but whenever I do, I just put in very small amount and test new stuff that I didn't tested before the virus, that way when this is over I will have a lot more places to play.

You know that the casino has been very well affected due to the coronavirus. More than around 4 months has been passed, till now most of the cities are locked down, so all casino are closed now. on normal days, I used to watch all the game and bet on them. that was my daily routine. You know, all the games have been abandoned due to coronavirus. so, I can't bet. again, all the casinos are closed that's why I'm incapable to go to casino. At this quarantine period sometimes I gamble on online, I've nothing to do all day.  :(

I'd just speak about my gambling life in short.
I've just learned about a game named Deal or No Deal that I've always been a fan of, but in older days. Now I know every aspect of this game and have somehow mastered some skills of this game. Even won around BTC0.004 with just BTC0.002 (3x my investment) in just a day. I believe that you've got a lot more games there to explore online and learn about them.

There's nothing we can do about the lockdown because it's for our own safety and its a precaution to avoid citizens to get infected with coronavirus which can possibly lead us to more problems onwards. Most of us now are in our house and can't go out and some of us are craving to do some gambling. The majority of physical sports today are canceled and I can't watch the supposedly upcoming matches that I am waiting for. The thing I do in this quarantine is reviewing every possible team I am wanting to bet to and watching replays makes me feel more entertained.

Well. To be honest, since the community quarantine started in my country, i have already started to gamble in crypto casinos for me to continue playing gambling as a leisure time and for fun. But in the end, i started to not enjoy gambling in crypto casinos that much because the longer i play gambling in front of my computer, i started to feel boring that i don't feel the thrill and excitement in gambling anymore because i am still looking and missing the same excitement and thrill that i have felt when i am playing at the casino that i am actually playing gambling and facing my opponents.

People have different preferences, there are many that like online gambling because they like to concentrate only on the games and nothing more, also since there are no distractions the games are a lot faster so you can gamble more in that same amount of time, but there are others that like the energy that you feel at a physical casino and see other people gamble and talk to them about your experiences, personally I like both so during this quarantine I am gambling exclusively online but as soon as this end I will take the opportunity to gamble in a physical casino.

My gambling life was the same as before because I am not a regular gambler, I just gamble online when I feel to play. Quarantines do not make any difference on my part. Maybe those people that are used to playing on physical casino's is missing the atmosphere of casinos, the opponent, and people around it. Last month I saw on TV news there are people that still gamble on their houses only but they got caught and got some punishment for it, In this crisis, we should stay at home to minimize the casualties and to stop the spread of this virus.

 sports games now on some countries are being resumed and i can now start to see some matches on sportsbookies  so im fine starting to feel fine now  .

 my gambling life have not been affected badly  but social only because here on our place , it still hard to go outside because someone guards are patrolling  . anyway the ecq or quarantine on our place is also extended so i  think this will make me more active on playing gambling online which i also like than working tbh ;D

Ive seen a while ago that there are bookies offering lines but i dont see for it to be entertaining to bet or watch if you dont know the sport
so its pointless to throw up some money just for you to make bets to ease up your gambling needs.

Same here on where it didnt really affect that much with this quarantine period.Yes, its boring but its for our own good on why we do need to stay
on our house due to current condition globally and you wont have any choice since most sports had been cancelled already.

gamblers who are only affected by the pandemic are those who are betting in sports because most sports events are suspended until now.

Now, if you are a gambler where you love to play casino games, then you should not be affected with the situation we are experiencing now, in fact you can still have a lot of time to gamble if you choose because you are just staying at home now.

There is no big difference even we are in the quarantine, about the sports gambling I did not always bet to that so I did not harm by the sports betting because mostly I play is dice games or mines and I can still play this because that is still operating right now.

We can enjoy staying at home by doing online gambling games and we cannot feel any boredom and for sure we enjoy it.

When covid-19 impacted some events, little by little my life is in the air and so boring and my mind is full of negative elements, maybe I feel hopeless even if I have money, I want to go anywhere to do my own habit to convert anything but so many rules that we have to follow during this(ECQ)enhance community quarantine and despite sometimes I play online gambling but I'm STILL not satisfied, technically I think this is our challenge to accept at all.

Not that easy. Despite the works that need to be done, it is still boring if you are more than a month inside 4 walls. The quarantine is not that bad here in our place so it is not that hard to get out of the house but still, you need to follow precautions.



Nothing really changed. Still talking with my friends, asking them hows the quarantine in their side.



I could say that it is getting better. Not because I am winning or anything like it but I could say that I am now following what I should follow in the past years. I can stop myself from being tempted to gamble or bet since I have a lot of bondings with my family. I am more focussed on what can I do right now rather than what I can bet now.

As for this past month ever since the lockdown and quarantine have been implemented here in our country, so far my daily life situation is still good. I got to have enough rest from the restless days I have from work when the normal days are on, but still I am wanting to get back into working in my office to work. When it comes to my social life, everything is still going good because I do still keep in touch with my friends and work mates through social media platforms and talk about our lives this quarantine season. When it comes to my gambling life, well, I have plenty of free time now to play gambling online but still I intend to do play only at quite sometime because I just do playing gambling to entertain myself if ever boredom strikes me so hard or if I am over on playing other sorts of games I have here at home. Actually there is no really big difference when it comes to my gambling life now that we are into a quarantine period compared to the normal sequence because I just tend to play gambling at my free time and that is just for entertainment purposes only.

I keep betting like before quarantine. I try not to overstep my limit so I don't get hooked. I know that to get out of addiction after it settles down is very difficult. I know people who've lost everything in addiction.  :'(

This somehow means that despite of the current situation globally, there is nothing that can stop gamblers to play and discover new platforms to play with. Online gambling in fact, is the best alternative gamblers could find, and for those people that already play online, I think, there would not be a huge difference but if you are a pure physical casino gambler, it might turn out that even after this crisis, you will play and gamble online right? It saves allot of time, effort and energy to go to casinos when in fact, you could play in your home and win the same amount. The only thing I could differentiate is the experience, even though  I still didn't have an experience to play in physical casinos, I think the fun with live gambling is better than online.

People who are addicting playing can lost everything they have for sure because addcited player are not contented playing until they lose all they have. So even playing gambling is one of the best to do not feel the boring because you cannot go outside because of the quarantine so try to find other busy activities you can do not only gambling.

Man I really missed going outside. From the time the government orders lockdown is the time I never go outside again. It wasn't like that I don't want to but everything is closed, and I ain't even the one who buy foods, and stuff thus, I have no choice but to stay indoors. It is just irritating at some point 'cause it seems you're left nothing on what to do except exploring net, studying, and reading.

In terms of socializing, well, having it with your friends outside, I mean you see each other phsycially is entirely different than socmed because too much socmed at somepoint still would get in your boredom. It is just the feeling, the vibe isn't there so it is not thar fun/enjoyable.

Gambling life, well can't bet for obvious reason because sports are prohibited to operate. So as an alternative if my brother wanna play some games too we used to play NBA 2k20 with bet on the line. Apparently it is not bad since it is up to me to play well in order to win. Try it with your friends, siblings it is as exciting as you bet sports then watch it play live.

They are not thinking straight anymore, they believe they are unbeatable so they will not stop when they are losing and they will not easily stop when they are winning, chances are, they'll lose in the end.

just like a trader who bought btc at $1k, see the price pump to $10,000 but he got greedy waiting for the $20,000 and so price will dump he will not get anything because he will just panic in the end.

Well, I have to say that my gambling life hasn't changed much during quarantine. I was always more oriented to online casinos than to phisical ones.
But I think this is very dificult time for gambling addicts who are in danger that their addiction becomes even worse because if they gamble all the time with nothing else to do, the consequences might be very bad.

It is possible too because people are staying at home so if they are a gamblers through online maybe they can play more because they have a lot of time to do that and maybe they can possible to become more addicting playing unless they lose all their money they did not have choice to stop and maybe thats the time they are stop.

The gamblers in the real offline casinos are moving to online mobile gambling just after they were locked. I have a cousin who keeps going to a local casino but few weeks after the lockdown I received a message from him asking which online casino to play. It's funny because he has a simpler way of looking at some games, I told him the popular games in bitcoin casino is dice and his concept was just its like heads or tail.

Gambler's life in quarantine doesn't change, they still can be a gambler while eyes are on their phones.

Because They don't have no place to go but Online specially those who are in places that Under lockdown or Enhanced Community Quarantine .

I have also some friends who is now enjoying Online betting than traditional gambling because of no other choice.
Though i heard from other friend that sometimes they are gathering in silence just to play Cards with each others in each houses so they cannot be monitored by people in community,Sneaky right?

The difference that online casino often not such honest as offline  :-X

But even i started to gamble, there now too much things to do on quarantine, even that i'm still working, doing online courses and so on.

It has been more than 40 days now I am under lockdown and I have not gambled yet. I did not feel like gambling in this period of uncertainty. No clue as to when things might get normal or I will have my job, too many things in my mind at the moment. Therefore did not have the urge to gamble at all.

Most of the difference probably came from the source of funds I have. or managing my finance or something. I used to take a bit of funds out of my salary every payday and well, that went poof atm. I'm trying my luck with online platforms that pay you such as Fiverr and Swagbucks and well, this made the time I used to go gamble lessen quite a bit. It wouldn't be that much of a problem if I actually played on physical casinos but sadly I'm one of the online gambling casino users out there and hell that made me quite unaffected in terms of leaving the house.

Still though, kinda glad it did happen like me using Fiverr and the like, especially Fiverr. Guess that with me gambling I can also do something to hone my talent which is pretty convenient imo.

We're same mate. I also did not feel to gamble simply because my savings are now draining :(. I'm getting more tensed every single day because I'm worrying that time will come when I no longer capable of sustaining even the most basic needs ( I hope this is just a product of overthinking). Fortunately we received relief goods this day so our food for the next upcoming week will not be a problem anymore. D*mn! I hope this suffering will end ASAP. It's killing us particularly the less fortunate

It is nice that people are giving gambling as break as much required for people who are addictive this is a very good time as well to get away from it. Also for many people not sure about the job prospects and how recession would be hit so also better to start saving money rather than playing and losing it.

Not just you that having those experience because I believe that all people have the same experience as you. We cannot do anything at this time because the pandemic still happens in all countries. I think if we can do something else while we are in under lockdown, we will have a new habit that we can use to prevent our habit in playing gambling. But I admitted that sometimes, we could feel bored by staying at home, and that means, we need something else that can kill that boredom but not by playing gambling.

I would like to express with great pleasure that I am not gambling in any way during the quarantine process. Especially during this process, my online education life continued intensely and my work on the internet increased, so I did not have time to gamble. For this reason, my gambling life was completely finished in the quarantine process, but I am thinking of gambling again in the coming period. On the other hand, I can say that the quarantine process affects my daily life and my social life negatively. Unfortunately, due to the fact that many businesses were closed and curfews, I could not meet with any of my friends, and in no way could I handle many of my daily work. But I would like to say that this process has also taught us that many things can be done online.

That's because your self and your family is more important than gambling and for me, that is a great move for you :)

Get back to normal?? It will take time for the "NEW NORMAL" to be adopt by the people and this includes gamblers too since casinos will make some guidelines too for sure so that no one will be affected by this shitty virus. With regards to your job, the new normal right now base on what I observe is work from home. Many employees who have skills that they can be used online are working already on their home and probably some of them already resigned. Just don't gamble if it doesn't give any benefits to you :)

Everyone understands the situation that this ain't time to gamble and I guess many are in this time situation that we have a tight budget.

I'm still not confident whether these lockdowns will be lifted, that wouldn't make the virus gone.

It is important to be extra careful during this quarantine because as we know there are not that many things that we can do right now and we could easily gamble more than what we had planned, and not only this is a mistake because you could eventually get addicted to gambling this is a mistake as well because you never know if you're going to need that money in the future because things get worse or because you lose your job so it is important to keep our limits and not gamble that much right now.

Let me share that I have been an addictive guy to poker. Since I was having more free times these days, I tried to play poker on swcpoker and have lost a few mBTC so far. Now I have almost left all the others gambling than the poker one. It's way more addictive man, specially for such a lockdown when you have a lot of free times.

And if you have a lot of money as well?  ;D

Any game can be addictive, we all know that, therefore we should take care of the risk to avoid addiction.
Staying at home does not mean our life will be boring and our time should be spent in gambling, you know try to meditate and think of other things, don't get yourself too contained with gambling as it will never help you at this time, be more productive, gambling is not a waste of time but with addiction on it, it is.

This pandemic will really change so many lives.
Most of us will have a different outlook in life after this terrible crisis.
But if we look on positive things, let's admit it, we have more time with our family especially for those who are working everyday.
This will be remembered as once in a lifetime for most of us.
And because of this, I guess many small time gamblers have stopped their habit because they prioritized their family's needs.
And that I think, is one good effect also for those who want to stop this habit.

It will surely change a lot from the way of living.It will give out self realizations that it is much more worth if we do save up the money for other important things rather than spending it alone with gambling.

It isnt bad to gamble though but it should really be on moderation but now we are on a quarantine then theres nothing we can do about it.For now we should stay safe inside of our homes

and be safe on not to get infected.Just come to think on how much you would spend for hospitalization when you got the virus.  :D

If we are looking on the positive side of the effect of the virus with us, yes we have more time to spend with our family.

I also believe that there are gamblers out there who left gambling for a moment and spend their time with their family. They maybe spending too much time on gambling but for now, they might change it and instead spend it to them. I also believe that some of the gamblers will completely stop gambling for some reasons or maybe they've realized that gambling doesn't give any benefits for them and it would be better if they spend their money into something more important than gambling.

You need to use your free time to do many things so you don't have many free times because if you don't do that, your mind will think about poker games. That can make you use more money to playing poker games, and there is no big chance for us to win the games if we play for a long time. I guess it is the best time for you to learn from the addictive and you need to realize that having the addictive in yourself will not help you to win the games, but you can lose many times.

In gambling people become so busy that they did not get any time for family and for friends so with this quarantine people got opportunity to spend time with family and with children I am loving being at home as I cook for them play with them now I got time to look after myself ans also I spend one or two hours with online gambling just to keep in touch what's happening in the world of gambling.

For some gamblers they will readjust their ways of gambling during this time whike some won't change for good. We all know that, fu D's aren't made available for some gamblers and if they had the funds won't stop to continue their gambling acts. Some gamblers know how to save or manager their funds why others are always mindless with their spending while gamble.

For recession which has been spoken about by expert, gamblers will still find their ways around the situations and still get their funs. Except those who sole aims to gamble is for them to make a living.

Gamblers would still not be affected I guess, they'll find a way to gamble, just like when the taxes are raise on liquor and cigarettes, people are still buying it, so it should not be different with gambling as usually people who consume the aforementioned are gamblers as well.

This is what they do in my neighborhood too. Instead of gambling online, they still prefer to gather in someones house then play Mahjong or cards(tong its, pusoy, in between). They chose being sneaky even its dangerous, because they're bored. I hope no one is a carrier. We play cards too but only with other family members because we wouldn't want to go out.

Nothing much difference, actually I am always in my house doing my job and even my gambling life is always at home. But the only difference comes to me right now is I really need to limit my gambling activity because of this pandemic. A lot of hoarding and the price of every goods in the market suddenly increased and this is a major reason for me to limit gambling.

I think what you do is quite dangerous.If someone has Covid but does not show any symptoms it can affect all the people playing in the house.No matter how bored you may be I would suggest you stop gathering in a small ambient like a home as it takes only 15 minutes staying in vicinity with the infected person and you are infected.
There are tons of online games to choose from to help you alleviate from your boredom.

GDragon is talking about other people and not about himself.
But I agree with you, that their behaviour are very risky and dangerous. But it could be a possibility if they wear FFP3 mask.

That kind of game are very popular in the Philippines, and this kind of gamblers attitude we normally see in rural areas.
Yes, they maybe not aware of the risk they are taking, they are willing to go out play with other people just to kill their boredom, I think that is unacceptable, and I believe gambling is illegal in the Philippines under the Enhance Community Quarantine (ECQ) or even the GCQ.

Don't forget those folks who got their Social Amelioration Program (SAP) money then decided to gather their amigos and amigas to do some cockfighting. And in the end, they were caught and punished by their local governments. They really can't beat those betting-itch they have on their a**es and will take the risk of extracting COVID-19 rather than staying at home.  ;D

Yes, these tough times have come like a blessing for a lot of people who were actually trapped in a loopy life where they had a fixed routine, fixed entertainment timings and never had the chance to sit back and assess what wrong they might be doing and what must be stopped.

I am myself a gambler and while I have not stopped entirely I have actually limited myself to a certain limit where I try and cap a max loss just like we do in automated betting in dice. I have gained much more control over my betting because when there was no limits I used to earn good but a big part was quietly going into the pockets of casino owners.

Sometimes I think about how people can found what they like in offline lives, and they also found in their online lives. And with gambling, people who are usually playing offline gambling, but in these situations, they can found online gambling so they can still play gambling. Maybe that is because they have a big curiosity to find what they always did in another place, and finally, they can see that thing in the other sources.

Depends on 2 factors mainly during this time:

1- Sports Betting: Because of the complete shutdown of almost all sports there is frustration among gamblers because those simulated reality games are nothing but HIGH HOUSE EDGE casino in my opinion.

2- Money Problem: Since a large portion of the society has been influenced by the covid-19 pandemic there are people who are not able to spend as much as they would in normal days and hence struggling to gamble.

Overall I believe gambling has increased in general because people have nothing to do but to sit at home and pass their time and gambling is one good way to do so.

But, few people are actually more addicted to gambling just because they got lots of time and they have nothing but to find new addictions online and gambling is the first one that comes to them. I have a few friends who are rich and what I mean by rich is that they can just sit idle and live their life without a scar so those guys are now days looking for online gambling and one has just become a prey to pron and other rubbish things and he is spending like 20 hours a day on these things. So, while some people have improved their habits and some have gotten worst with the situation being so damn poor.

My life hasn't been influenced much because I am a coder and I still do online micro tasks and earn enough to live my life :).

I also heard about that, the money they got from the government spent on betting or playing card games with their neighbor,

They don't think of the risk of the virus, instead of using the money they got in the right way, they use it in something that they shouldn't be.

This quarantine that we experience isn't just normal experience. Example, for me it was my first experience about a pandemic. And yes, staying home doesn't mean you can't do anything. For those people who are lucky to know some of the best and good gambling sites, they are so lucky they have some things where they can produce enough earnings. Specially when in this situation, we isolate ourselves or locked up to ensure safety so we can't go to work,schools or businesses to earn money so we must look a way, and gambling is one of it.

My personal experience in this quarantine is I am playing a gambling game. I'm not a quite player that are good to those games but I know how it works and when can I start and when do I stop so thay I may able to avoid a big loses. Gambling while in quaratine is one of the best way to kill time while earning. But also risky because all of the money I used is for our own use and safety. In just one wrong choice or decision, I may able to lose all of it and nothing will left in me. So I played gambling but I am not let myself get into it.
Indeed. This kind of attitute in order just to play because the reason is only bored is unacceptable. They must realize that mass gatherings and not paying attention to social distancing can lead them to a worst scenario. This kind of people doesn't think of the sacrifices of frontliners who dedicated their time in order to avoid the rapid increase of infected people from COVID-19.

We all know that quarantine brought by this pandemic is definitely boring but think of it, between gambling and choosing your life you must choose practical and life. I will not able to tolerate this kind of ideas. I will not dwell into this type of peoples that not dedicated to cooperate with the government. I played gambking on my own online and in that I can also play with my friends.

This is by far the best way to try to avoid thinking about gambling all the time for those that are addicted to gambling and even for those that are not but that are facing a lot of anxiety, not many people are discussing the psychological effects of staying at your home for very long periods of time but most people are simply not used to this and they are getting desperate and in their desperation some of them are not respecting social distancing because they cannot take it anymore, and the best way to take our minds out of all of those problems is to fill our days with activities that we enjoy we just need to avoid to fill our time with only one activity and instead choose several of them so we do not become addicted to them.

One thing that I find most useful to avoid thinking about gambling during this quarantine is to do some physical tasks even inside my house. Clean all the things that need cleaning. Move those furniture around to have some change of scenery. Let those sweat glands do their work and by this, I'm also getting a little bit healthy. These activities helped me to avoid thinking about gambling. Even for just a little bit of time.  ;)

talking about managing funds, in my country we are seeing something very sad ... the government has banned the sale of beers and other beverages to avoid concentration people because of the pandemic, but people will adopt another technique to circumvent the ban, they stay inside home of the owner who sells beers and consume beers, I wonder if they don't do the same scheme with gamble


the problem I see is that even people who lose their jobs will make loans to be able to gamble or they can steal money to be able to gamble

The poor will not be able to gambler because they need money at this time but we have people who are still making money at the moment and they want to entertain themselves, just like the people who are going into a land based casino, they love to risk big money but since it's not possible to go in a land based casino, they might find the online gambling as the best alternative, so the crypto casino or online casino will still live and remain profitable despite of the pandemic.

You heard it and there are many news and articles on it and it really is true. There are some beneficiaries who are using the money they got from the government for gambling and some are for cockfighting.

I feel embarrassed, disappointed and disgusted with this kind of people TBH. There are some people here in our country who doesn't get any help from the government and yet these people are just spending the  money they got into something that they don't need to do like this. They are spending the money into something not important. Instead of using the money to buy what they want, they are using the money into different things that will not help them.

Income inequality is the case here. The poor sector of the society usually gambles to make more money with higher desire and dedication compared to the top rich. Risking the salary on the casino is a commonly known trap for the mentioned average Joe group, unfortunately. The higher they visit the physical casinos, the more they become addicted to gain "easy money". Quarantine changed their behavior but not their physiology.

Everyone's life is effected including the gamblers. Although Quarantine did not had any impact on online gambling but a human being cannot play gambling all the time, when you are restricted to go out, you feel depressed and your whole life style changes considerably.

It all depends on the income we can earn, if we have less income then definitely we will not gamble as much as we want, we can only gamble a limited amount and at this time it's better to just focus on the entertainment than the money we can make, just to prevent ourselves of getting attach to it.

its very crucial this time around, money is vital therefore entertainment should not be the first priority.

Yes it is popular for the Filipinos Im playing the traditional gambling in my home sometimes but because I play through online I can play only few times in a month because Im focus in playing through online. It is illegal right now like mahjong many people will go to prison because they caught playing that game even they know it's not open to play in public even in private  so if we feel boredom we can play online .

Aside from being possibly prone to virus, it is prohibited because it is quarantine days. People must stay in their own house and not in others house even though it near or far. I personally knew someone who used to play Mahjong with small bets during these days. He almost live in his friends house due to this.

I play gambling but not too affected because this pandemic usually I always play online casino so it doesn't affect me, except for those who bet on sports games, all outdoor activities are stopped en masse.
so if there is no choice but to play games like dice, slots, poker and others.
I only play poker out of all the games I mentioned above.

Yeah, it really gets boring when you play the same thing over and over. That's why when I don't feel like playing the usual game, I will try to find another game or things to do aside from that. It still sucks though, knowing you can't go outside and do other things you want. I can't even explore some other gambling sites or games since I need to save and allocate my money properly. I'm the source of money right now in my family.

But just like what you have said, this is just like a little sacrifice we can do to help to slow down the spread of the virus. And I hope this will end soon because we can't any longer stay like this for more weeks or months. The longer it gets, the more people will be willing to go outside and violate the rules because they are tired of staying inside.

Don't be sad, we know a lot of news now that soccer will start soon in the near future, especially for European football lovers, of course this moment is awaited for its circle, for sports bettors, it is a gambling that is very interested in which many bet with pleasure or love. they are therefore inseparable from other gambling but when the pandemic stops we have to be a little patient and move on to the already available online casinos.

As the time passes by, the number of covid patients grows faster each day so I think soon they will be suspending the matches to avoid the players and the supporters to be exposed in public without any chance to notice if they are with someone who is infected because we all know that there people who is asymptomatic and it is very dangerous to others if they will be exposed to asymptomatic carrier of the virus so I guess they will be suspending the match to avoid social gathering.

Gambling life revisited during the lockdown :D.
It has been 3 years since I quit my gambling life. Now these days I have enough time to visit the websites and gamble again just for the fun propose. But the gambling platform are so changed that, while  I  hardly recognized the websites.

These concerns will always be there even though there is good news about those who have been exposed to recover and in the near future too, at least some of the famous sports will be resumed, but with strict protocols then I think this problem will end soon but still, we must remain cautious and always aware of health and hygiene wherever located.

I can't blame those people, they just wanted to kill the boredom but since we're under ECQ/GCQ, it's not preferable especially if someone's gonna go on the other street just to play gambling. People should learn how to stay at their homes because the ECQ will be extended again due to non-stop increase of confirmed cases here in the Philippines.

I guess it's fine if you're playing with your relatives or friends in your private places, as long as it's for entertainment purposes and no money involved in that game. Liquor ban wasn't also implemented in some cities so the same goes for gambling. The only illegal thing right now is not complying with the law which is the Bayanihan act of 2020. If you don't have a business on the outside, just stay at home.

For me my daily habit did not change even though there is a lockdown that happened, I'm not a type of gambler who often go to physical casinos that is why there is only slight effect that affect my current lifestyle. I still doing online gambling and visiting online casinos, actually the only thing that change is how I spend my 24 hrs. I allocating most of my time now in doing gambling but I have proper risk and management for me to protect my capital and not experience huge losses.

Of course after 3 years there will be Upgrading that will happen and surely will change the old format ,but why not try other sites?there are so many legit now just check the signatures here.
meaning even in local gambling you are not playing local games?only gambling online?
how can you manage to spend most of your 24 hours time and not losing that bad?or maybe you are betting smaller amount and less chances.

Struggling we are struggling in our daily life, no work, we are depending on government dole out which cannot support us through the lockdown period, but we always find a way to play card games to entertain us, every day is just internet and watching movies and card games are an additional way to fight boredom on home although struggling we can still keep up with this pandemic.

It is good if you can manage the risk of gambling and protect your capital. But you should remember that sometimes we can be weak in handling the risk so that it can attract us to use more money because we see our chance in the next games will change.  I think you can use your most of your time to do another thing besides using it for playing gambling. I am just worried if you can lose control for yourself because I see that many gamblers in the long term lose control.

Most of the cases report people that stopped gambling during the quarantine.
It is very interesting though to see that a lot of people tried to search old gambling habits and return to gambling casinos.
Maybe you gambled on cars games or similar because sports betting are stopped.

What do you called that car games? if that is part of the sports then we can also consider that as sports betting.
Sports betting suspension under the quarantine implementation are for all sports that gathers masses for their sports or games, so I think we will not witness that one too, unless it's done in some countries that are not heavily affected by covid-19 and their government are not that strict on their preventive measures.

Gambling is not the solutions if you know you cannot support your daily needs. Its better to find other hobbies in lockdown than using the rest of your money to gamble and take the risk of losing. If you lose your family will not have enough money that can help to buy foods you need in that time.

I know more of the people are now is bored but it doesn't  mean you need to risk the only money you have for enjoyment.

I guess you want to say that gambling is not the solution to earn money ;D

We don't have to feel bored if we know how to solve it. I see many people now become creative to kill their boredom by doing many things. They make a video and upload it on Youtube, and the video itself is about what they did from day 1 until now.

But yeah, some people are a live record their activity in playing games, some of them giving some tips on playing gambling. I see that it will provide us with an idea of what we can do every day and how to solve the bored itself.

We don't have to play gambling every day if we are not yet filled the daily needs because we need to live and survive. So we need to prioritize our lives first before we spend the money on another thing.

If we are to be responsible then we will definitely gonna do that, but if not, we would still not gonna put gambling as our last priority which is bad especially while under quarantine.


Hopefully people will realize that, as for me, I am already in control of my gambling now compared prior to the quarantine, we never know if this situation could get worse, at least we have some savings to combat a possible long quarantine stay in our home.

yeah I edited my post  lol.

In times like this many people have time to do other thing even learning a new skills using new technology and social media.

You can play other games not only gambling to fix your boredom in that way you will not lost money playing games.

The real fear will begin if we have nothing to get from our pocket and will only hope for the government ration which is not enough if you have more people in your household. right now we need to see the situations around the world especially China, if they back to normal after a few months of quarantine then we can say that we don't need to tighten our budget to the point that we can no longer buy our secondary needs. but if China doesn't back to normal then we need to prepare for the worst and not waste our money.

I know what you mean because I was doing the same when this quarantine began, the problem is that I'm already running out of things to do, I fixed everything that needed to be fixed at my home probably during the first week so now I have to find other things to entertain myself, as such I'm reading all the books that I wanted to read for a very long time but I did not had the time and even if that is taking a significant amount of my time it is still not enough.

Imagine going wild in gambling during quarantine period then you have lost it all lol. Gambling should come also with responsibility, we have different approach on gambling that is a check but the time now is not really ideal for making money in gambling, you are just risking your money in it while needing it, or with your family. I just find gambling these times not suitable for anti boredom activity.
I still gamble but I'm putting a limit on it now, winning or losing $20 is my sign to stop although I'm still hitting a last draw haha  :D

1. Nothing much, watching Youtube videos, if the Internet is good, some anime or movies will be on the binge list. Reading manga and waiting for the announcement in my college about what to do next.
2. Talking to my friends from time to time, there is Messenger and Facebook to communicate so nothing much changed. I just miss playing Dota2 and Dead by Daylight with my friends though.
3. Everything is in control, I recently downloaded an Poker app in my phone, and I can't get enough of it, the online mode of it is nice to simulate real life gambling, I hate that there is only a fixed game interaction and that is all there is to it. Thanks to this, my habit to gamble made me save my money and I am more than happy.
4. In my opinion, my habit hasn't changed that much, the gambling aspect was halted though, I am not that party person back when there is no pandemic so I do not noticed any change.

you are doing that in a daily basis?

I think at the moment, I can't stand if I lose that amount in a daily basis.
I mean, this time everything is really tough, hard to gamble even if that is only $20 but the fact that you will lose that amount, it will just accumulate,  and more so, you might get frustrated and you'll try to chase your loses.

Sometimes they need to commit a mistake before they realize. There are really people who are not responsible in facing the crisis, they just think it's the same situation we are in the past, so they'll continue to do their old practice.

I'm doing the same everyday since we're still under lockdown now. Reading some news articles and watching videos in Youtube. I also trying to learn more about crypto trading since the lockdown started. Now I'm trying to make some profit since I don't have job right now.
Its different of course since were still stay at home, I only communicate my family and friends through social media. I still want to talk to them personally and listen to their stories during lockdown.
I prefer stop gambling because I don't want to risk my money anymore since my job stop and buying foods and paying bills are more important to me but I think it will end soon and we will get back to new normal life.

Indeed, I have done it every day when quarantine at home, what I clean at home always looks clean, because it is my physical activity every day, but the work is not long and only takes a few hours, while we only just rest with boring every day. then this gambling might not be forgotten because it was one of the quarantine entertainments.

I know we have to protect our finances in this situation, so someone must be able to control when to play gambling during quarantine.

Quarantine is boring and my gambling life is not healthy anymore because of this, Lol. Seriously, this quarantine makes me realize that gambling is not that important and if I want to become more happy, I can spend time with my family and laugh together. Though I will still not give up my gambling hobby, but after this quarantine I'll go for more time with my family and friends, and keeping healthy always.

That is good. At least, you know that playing gambling is only for fun thing, and don't use gambling to make money because you will not have a chance unless you have control yourself. It will be good if you can spend your time with your family and hang in your house and do many things with them. I am sure that the quarantine will be end soon after the government can find the right vaccine to help people. We will have time to go with our family and friends after its end.

For some people who have a lower middle economy, of course in this quarantine period they are more minimizing their expenses to be able to survive in the midst of this pandemic, even though that person is already very addicted to gambling, I think that will be a special limitation for gambling now because they have to be able to manage their finances as best they can. different from people who have a lot of money, they will make gambling as entertainment during this quarantine and the focus they get will be more serious on gambling because they cannot do other activities outside the home

You can do both spending your time in your family while playing gambling because if you play 1 hour less or even 10 minutes once you reach your target winning you can stop it and try again to play tomorrow . They have players who did not have enough time to the gamily because they are spending a lot of time in playing every things that we xan we need a plan and time management.

Well, it's better for me to be with your family and have some quality time than gambling during the quarantine. It's the same with me, I 'm tired of it all, because I'm getting those entertainments that I didn't get when I was busy at school. So right now, I'm just spending time with my family, and I understand some people who are tired of gambling because they're playing 24/7 due to quarantine.

There are lots of people starting to ignore all the warnings like "stay home", "keep distance" etc. They think like we are going back to normal but on the other hand some other people still keep dying at hospitals and they don't even realize they might be the next to die.

I agree with you first sentence but in this case I am afraid that mistake can become too fatal.

That is what they are not aware of because they continue to make mistakes during this pandemic, I feel sorry for the medical staff they continue to work day and night to handle cases like this while people always make very fatal mistakes, of course if you are already in the hospital then that there is a crisis and it might die because with the covid-19 virus it's very fast to die.

Even though we have applied lockdow or social distance, there are still many who violate it.

I blame the politicians.

People are mostly stupid and they also need guidance. Right now I am not sure we are getting the right guidance. Politicians are afraid of the collapsing economy. They think if people don't die from covid19, they'll die from hunger. They actually have a point but that also means If we pretend like  the pandemic is over, there will be lots of an lots of more deaths in the upcoming months unless some super effective medicine gets found.

I guess people are just stubborn for not following the orders of the government. They thought it will not cause a huge problem if they still go outside their houses. Same with me, I feel sorry for those front-liners who bet their lives just to maintain the health care in our country and also, the security that maintains the lockdown of every community. Sometimes there's people who still play just to play gambling outside their houses so I really those people who don't follow community orders.

It's great ahahaha. Everything is full to the tits.  Poker, Dice sites, normal games as well.  People might get used to this.  I have no problems finding things to do online, gambling and non gambling.

Not much about my gambling life during this worldwide lockdown, although many.will attest to the facts that, their time is been used on meaningful things in respect to gambling. This time, I had to get closer to my mobile apps games which had made my days during this quarantine. More also, during this quarantine, I have made some good and reasonable profits from my gambling, the period of my stay at home was actually profitable to me personally.

Gambling life?? Not that much really since I'm not spending time in gambling even in online gambling sites.

Although I'm not gambling at this moment for some reasons, I'm thinking of gambling again whenever the sports events will be resumed but still I will be using a small amount of money only. I will just gamble for fun again while watching different sports events :D. I missed watching sports event though :(.

You are doing the right thing, gambling right now under your current circumstances in which you have lost your job is simply not a good idea regardless of how much you may like that activity, however one recommendation that I will make to you since you are beginning to learn how to trade the markets is to have a lot of patience because most traders begin their journey without being fully prepared and then they lose all of their money because of it and then you'll find yourself in a situation that is even worse than the one you are in right now.

Who told you that gambling is comparable to family? Gambling is just an entertainment, then if you are having hard time to get out of it for your family then something is wrong with you making it your unhealthy habit. Glad that you realize it during this quarantine time, Me too I've been thinking of my stuff lately and realization will come you at some point coz we all got plenty of time and random moment. So far I got used to gambling every other day, I'd rather watch youtube on how to cook than gamble these days lol.

So you during quarantine always play gambling and it is profitable for you and it's good I have to survive during this quarantine because if I bet then my finances for survival will be thin so therefore I don't do it everyday because gambling is fun for me but with a lot of lost money so I better keep my distance with gambling to protect my finances.

Gambling is very fun during quarantine but for me it is difficult if I do not work for real.

My gambling life during quarantine is kinda different from before.
I am naturally playing with my friends but right now, I am the only one playing. We used to have fun while playing especially if one of us was able to win, but because of this quarantine, we were not able to play together and we need to limit the amount of money I use in gambling.

At the moment the sport that is being continued is Bundesliga and UFC I think it is right when the sport is continued that betting will be more fun because it is a love of the sport that we like, but it is true that you say we have to make small amounts of bets because in situations like these are many reasons and our need to survive therefore we must be able to do it as much as possible.

Betting with sports is of course very much awaited especially football I am happy today is sports and gamblers began to bet with their favorite team.

Things are gradually turn out to normal yet we have already seen that these things are going operational once again but to be expected that they are enforcing
strict compliance when it regards to health matter since theres still no vaccine yet which means we can still potentially worsen back the situation.Its good that
there are already lines being offered and for those sports lovers out there then this do really ease the feeling since we've been quarantined for
couple of months which is really a boring thing for us who do bet out in sports.

So you were able to continue the normal life in Quarantine too ? 
We had a lockdown for almost 2 months but it effected on our lifes a lot. I did not feel the joy in gambling like I used to when there was no covid-19 lockdown. The environment plays an important part upon your emotions.

Mine gambling life was not good within these lockdown days. I usually bet on cricket and other sports and since there are no sports and hence no betting.
I spent my time watching old matches on youtube and recalled my old memories but still there is a lot of free time in the lock down that i do not know where to spend it.

I think your word is a bit harsh to women...
if you mention the female model that is used in the picture, it is just an attraction. a lot has changed during this epidemic, I just want it to recover quickly, my husband complained that he couldn't see his favorite team compete, the quarantine period in our area had been loosened a little, we were thankful for not being as strict as a few weeks ago.

If it's not good because you are losing when you bet on sports you are not so familiar with, then I guess it's time for you to take a break and just wait until the sports that you love to bet will officially come back. For sure soon they will come back, and I am also hoping that NBA will come back because most of my bets are put in that certain league.

I dont really find enjoying to make up some bets into some particular sports that i havent known.The essence of enjoyment and thrill
is lost when you dont know on what you have bet in. For now we dont have any choice since NBA isnt available yet and if you do only know
about basketball and dont know other sport then its better to find something else like luck based games.

There are lots of options or choices though not only we can only spend out time with gambling during quarantine but also we
can do other activities as well.

If we can just open up our mind a bit, we can certainly find a lot of options to kill our boredom while we are still in quarantine, gambling games that you are not familiar or you are sure you'll not win is like wasting money, just for the sake of gambling you gamble, that is not good, you gamble because you want to enjoy and win at the same time, that should be the goal.

It's not good literally since wasting money just to get off from boredom is not good habit, We should go to the games that we are familiar so that we will get the pure enjoyment instead of headache, As well we shouldn't focus only on gambling since there are other more important benefits bring up by this quarantine days and that is the quality time you need to spend with your families.

It should not be wasting money when you like to have fun, it is a waste of money when you gamble but you are not entertain.
though we are in crisis, we also have to find ways to be entertain based on our budget only and gambling doesn't need to be an expensive way of getting yourself entertain.


True, that's why if you love sports betting and no sports are being allowed at the moment, it's wise to keep calm and wait patiently.

This was to be expected, this crisis is affecting people but it is not doing it equally, the people that had very little money and that were struggling to put food over the table are the ones that are suffering the most, also anyone that had an important debt and that has lost his job is probably suffering as well, however anyone that has a good job and has significant savings is probably doing well during this quarantine and can afford to gamble if he wants but most people are not in that comfortable position.

Yeah, as long as you are enjoying the game you gamble on, and not spending the money that is already for something else, then you should enjoy what makes you sane during this trying times. Anxiety, uncertainty and mental health is real problem these days. It is your right to be entertained and sane, just be in control and always check yourself if you are already showing symptoms of addiction. Always ask for professional help.

I've stop gambling as well, because I put my money for emergency fund, but I am doing some freelance job, and it will help me to have budget for gambling again, it is good to have some collegues who will refer you to some job, I miss gambling so much, because it help my brain to work too, and make some more startegies for the game.

In order to keep your stress levels and anxiety at low you should not bet huge amounts.
All those bad feelings come from the fact that you are loosing money and you have the feeling that you need to get them back as soon as possible.

It’s being the relaxed time as nothing much to do so reading some of the long-awaited list of books with me and trying to self-realize of what I have done till now and what I need to do further and its roadmap to reach till there. Also, it has being a self-realization on some of the mistakes being made and how to ensure those are never repeated and rectified them. Only on occasions just for the enjoyment do gamble at times.
