CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING

[kawetsriyanto]

The coronavirus had already postponed sports events

This makes sports gambling is experiencing an apparent death nowadays. So, people who love sports also feel very badly about this condition, not only gamblers. Everyone expects this situation will be over very soon. 

With nothing to eat, gambling is the last thing in mind for those smaller guys

We are in crisis, lockdown makes the world economy fallen sharply. Most gamblers shouldn't think about how to play gambling in this situation, except for a small number of fanatic gamblers. I'm sure most prioritize the basic things like foods, drinks, or other daily needs. Funds for gambling may be allocated for more urgent needs.

Physical casinos might have closed down due to restrictions on people gathering in one place and the fear of spreading the coronavirus but it might lead to those who never bet (or rarely bet online) starting to play in online casinos.

Coronavirus impact is way bigger than I thought on gambling as a lot of bookies closed their doors because they have no clients and they don't have a casino inside so they could keep their betters. Also the laws in so many countries were to shutdown a lot of stores including betting houses.

For now only online casinos are working normally as people are kinda desperate to trow money into gambling so they chose casinos. Besides this , its hard for me to find out how many millions of $ are they losing right now.

Now that almost all sporting events all over the world are cancelled, those wanting bet of sports events are left with having to find alternatives. What are the majority doing?
Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?
Are some gambling on casinos instead?
What are alternatives most sports betting users are now switching to?

Sad to hear that there are so many basketball players got infected by this corona virus. I hope everybody become healthy especially for those who are giving us a breathtaking game. For now sports betting is stopped as well as my other gambling act. I just want to promote online gambling to earn some bitcoin. I badly needed some money this time because my office work is suspended and worrying that company may not pay me due to all our operation was stopped. In addition, there is no physical casinos available. All are closed so better to stay at home and make this time valuable.

That's a very clear explanation, I get your point, I realize that most of the tournaments are done through LAN so that means they are not allowed anymore under a more strict policy of lock down, and we are left with less interesting games to bet on if in case it's still available.

Thanks for that and that is so true.

Most of the games right now are not that good to bet on except for the ESL Pro League CSGO is having right now. I am still betting on it since the games are really great, I'me with Na'Vi and Vitality right now but I'm a bit disappointed with Na'Vi losing to a lower-tier team even with simple getting 81 kills in the series. That tournament is still ongoing right now so better bet while it lasts.

The coronavirus had already postponed sports events and its for good cause but lockdown is juts going to kill working class family. With nothing to eat, gambling is the last thing in mind for those smaller guys and getting a virus isn't their concern nor whatever happen to sports  gambling. Its what food to put on their tables is going to matter this days and when desperation kicks, there will be killings.

Apart from the fact that a lot of leagues and competitions are postponed we should not forget the fact that this might have a great impact on athletes' health.
They are getting out of form during this period of stagnant sport activity. As a result, they might be more prone to injuries after they start again - with intense pace in order to cover the lost time.

Things are really unpredictable yet anytime where events would really turn the table upside down.Underdogs do really have always the possibility on beating a top tier team.
Not only on the current ESL pro but also in Dec 17th - Dec 22nd 2019 ESL which Vitality won that tourney. They might be top #10 at the moment but they are a strong team.

It would vary on the condition of covid-19 on a certain place.It isnt a sure thing that 1 month would be enough and it might be extended.

I think they might even win the series.

They just lost yesterday to Astralis and I do understand that since it is Astralis, one of the best teams in the league right now. They are leading the score in this league and followed by other teams including Na'Vi and Team Vitality. I hope this will be a good tournament for the rookie, this is his first tournament, hope it would really improve the team as a whole and not just focus on their superstar, Zywoo.

No choice friend, we have to wait, and i think this is good for us since we will not be able to spend our money, instead we can allocate this on our basic needs to survive this crisis, I've been consistently betting in sports, but since no sports available for now, I can say I'll be able to save money.

The coronavirus had already postponed sports events and its for good cause

Its obvious already that they did it to prevent further transmission of virus and it is really for the good of the players and the country as a whole.

but lockdown is juts going to kill working class family. With nothing to eat, gambling is the last thing in mind for those smaller guys and getting a virus isn't their concern nor whatever happen to sports  gambling. Its what food to put on their tables is going to matter this days and when desperation kicks, there will be killings.

There are no other ways to prevent the virus from spreading rather than lockdown and TBH, lockdown can just lessen the number of cases but it can help to decrease the spread of the virus in the long run. There are other people who are doing bad things right now just to have money to eat but luckily it is not the case here in our place. There is a lockdown but people were given relief goods to support their daily needs as the lockdown has been implemented.

if i am to choose?yeah i want to become a reformed gambler but the problem is i am not a total gambler so i need nothing to be reformed lol.

but for the addicted gamblers?better to take this opportunity to be with your family and make your best days to stop addiction.
this is once in a lifetime chance because casinos are being closed by governments so we cannot do anything but to accept.

dont try online gambling for now instead to functional things in life for a mean time.

Sports betting gambling is currently on hold as sports activities in top flight leagues have been postponed till further notice. Before the Coronavirus breakout, I used to placed bets every weekend while watching some interesting weekend games. Now, Its just my same boring weekend routine. I can't wait for the action to resume soon.  I'm not a huge fan of betting on other games outside of sport events (dice, blackjack and others).

Yes postponement period due to the virus might affect their health. But as a player I think they have exercising equipment in their home so during the quarantine period they can do their exercise. They can use this time wisely. In that case they will be healthy. As a player I think they know what must be maintained. In addition, they can get a regular 8 hours sleep.

Stay at home due to the pandemic has kept us away from many things and that includes gambling. Online casinos are the best option for players while normality is recovering. Keep safe!

As for me it really keeps me away because there is no sports to gambling, I just usually bet at home but since sports are also prohibited at this situation, this is also a touch times for us sports bettor, of course we can try different games but for sports bettors, it's not something as entertaining as sports betting and it does not challenges us.

There are still some games that are going on say 5-6 football matches daily but I wouldn't recommend betting on it unless you have knowledge. Like yesterday there was some friendlies in Sweden and both teams have played like in never (one last played in 2008  ) and I won my small bet.

There are lot of eSport games going on if you are interested in that. Also there is Table Tennis Cup and Volleyball matches in Russia. That's what is going on right now.

We don't need to force ourselves to bet in sports if we don't know the sport, we have no advantage on that and we will just lose.

The reason why we choose sports betting as our game is because we are confident that we can win knowing that we are familiar with the league and that help us to increase our chance of winning.

Basically the impact of coronavirus will be heavily felt and many will be positive while some will be negative. But base on the thread; the impact of coronavirus will be positive to the gambling industry as the cure of coronavirus is be search for. Online casinos will be heavily impact positively than the traditional gambling platforms because the government have ban the movement of citizens to avoid the spreading of the covid-19. In my resident country, almost all the gambling centres have been shutdown and only the online casinos are been use through the internet for those who still intend to gamble, this is the only means to gamble now till the revoke of government orders.

For now, if you really can't stop yourself from gambling then gambling online is the best choice.

With this, the revenue of online gambling sites will surely rise and at the same time it keeps the gamblers from getting the virus as they aren't going outside just to gamble as long as they have internet connection and a smartphone / computer. Lets keep safe broski. This will be over in Q2-Q3 as my prediction and I hope it will .

Almost all sports branches stopped due to coronavirus, international flights were restricted. Coronavirus becomes easier to spread due to the spectators, all sports should wait for a while except for e-sports, we are having a hard time, i wish the best of everything.
