CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING

[panganib999]

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?

That is a real problem faced by sports betters because due to this wide spread of Coronavirus pandemic globally, all live sports event are postponed and cancelled due to lockdowns being implemented and massive gatherings are being prohibited to avoid the spread of virus from direct contact of one person to another. Probably at this time, live sports betters are staying up in home and finding other gambling games to play with while the quarantine is still being implemented. Sports gamblers can do bet on other games like MOBA since it is already considered as e-sports which can be played even at home. They can also try playing other games to see if it will gain their interest just to satisfy their want to play gambling. As of the moment, there is still far possibility that live sports event can start because the cases of the infected is still rising worldwide so betters/gamblers will surely find another way out to still play gambling.

I guess it depends if you get to the pneumonia phase or not. If the virus gets to your lungs, there is a possibility of leaving a permanent damage. Make a google search, this possibility is real.

I searched for some articles about this on google, but it makes me confused. Some said it can be recovered in a few months, some said it will take several years, or even permanent.

So actually it makes sense if the sports players are really afraid of this coronavirus pandemic that has a possibility to destroy their careers.
But it will be better if we know the accurate information about this from a very credible source. Is the corona pneumonia effect really permanent or not?

I think that during various competitions, the spectators are exposed to the risk of infection in the first place! Sometimes there are tens of thousands of spectators! And there's a high probability that the infection will spread... Therefore, temporary losses in sporting events will be recovered after quarantine is lifted!

Across the world and in all fields Corona virus 2019 has impacted to everyone. Many countries or cities are in the lockdown mode and world is already in the recession. Also not sure when will the lockdown gets open up and virus get completely away from this earth. It is testing times for all and better to have savings in such times so that it is helpful in the future when required as downturn will continue for some more time.

The pandemic seems to hard to handle because no one's really ready, even an alternative solution for this one. Many things are laying low due to the disease, NBA paused their season to avoid their players getting infected after some of them have tested positive with the virus. USA with 400K confirmed cases have to do a lot of work to get the virus out especially in New York City which is the heart of their economy.

The pandemic "accidentally" appeared before the world crisis! 
It's simple - rich people will become even richer... 
I think that in a year no one will even remember about quarantine...

But the economic consequences will continue for some time!

There isn't really such thing as accurate information right now. Even doctors contradict each other. We'll get the right information months maybe years later after we observe the patients for enough time. Till then nobody can exactly know if the effects are permanent.

You are right on that, but I am sure if the seasons resume we will see some tight schedules with games almost every three days. Honestly I doubt the national leagues will care much about if the players are fit or not. If there is a certain timeframe in which the season could be finished the games will be played. But you are right, it will take some more weeks until we can think about resuming the leagues.

It has been a month since they enforce lockdown to each country, I'm sure after they resume those matches again the players will not play like their usual skills or maybe they let the bench player play first then they will play in another day. Most of those players might gain weight at some point because some of them don't have a personal gym in their homes. Most likely we will see a different play on most of the players but after sometimes they will return back to normal.

eSports betting if anything is going on online rn. The only option relative to sports so far imo

By the way thanks for idea with eSorts bets. I tried yesterday. Without any success, but I liked the process.

Almost all sports and e-sports activities have been postponed at this time, some soccer players are suspected to be positive for the coronavirus case so it is not possible to hold matches even without spectators. Unfortunately, gambling addiction now stops temporarily unless you are interested in gambling in wrestling matches.

But what about CS:GO and DOTA bets? Many have paid attention to it now.

yes, CSGO and DOTA are the two most popular computer games from that time until now. I remember when I was a kid I played those games too. But now it has also entered e-sports so it has added excitement and fun to play. It's also just about sports betting because you pick teams where you're betting that you think you'll win the game.

Pretty much the same, you determine who will play and you analyze which team would win.

The only difference with sports is that those who are playing have reputation, so most likely they will not rig the games to favor a party or themselves.
Personally I find sports betting as the best type of gambling type, that's why I have no much action for now since most sporting events are still suspended.

That's the sad part of it.
They are physical games so we cannot do anything about it.

I recently got the idea of betting on computer games but I am having a hard time defining who could win it.
Perhaps, if it is not your forte then don't come stepping on it or else you will just lose money.
Same goes with sports betting, you will need to do your homework first.
Damn, I missed betting on NBA games and having the excitement of watching it because of the parlay.

For the number of years we have been gambling, I guess we have to relax for now and monitor the situation.
If they will insist to resume their season or the particular sports then they will pay for the consequences as the government will not tolerate it.
The US now is in deep trouble, the number of dead has increase.

https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001367289/coronavirus-nearly-2-000-dead-in-one-day-in-the-united-states

2K dead in one day.

We do play what we really think would make us happy and we spend time to analyze it, so just like you, I am into sports betting.
That's because we are focus in sports betting, and maybe we are matured enough. I'm not saying those bettors on esports are not matured.

Indeed, the top sports are at least canceled or stopped temporarily, but when we check sports gambling sites and score sites like flashscore etc., then at least there are still matches and or sports being played and if we can find a complete sports gambling site, then it is very possibly they and we can still bet sports, like for example soccer but for the lowest caste league or even tennis sports are still available there to bet.

Some stupid matches, probably like some low tier matches that is easy to manipulate. I wont really risk my money trying to bet on such bet also on another note there is less information on players from the lower league. Some people on the other hand might want to

[Lorence.xD]

The virus surely affected the sports industry and in turn affected gambling industry. The impact is negative because a lot of people that are working on the gambling industry will never get a work, bookies will surely suffer because they will not get profit becausee there are no sporting events. This crisis made an accidental good effect, many people surely stopped gambling but this miniscule number compared to the people who are playing online casinos, if you want to do something to alleviate the urges to gamble, you can read books, you can watch movies or series, there are a lot of things that you can do just waiting to have your attention.

Yes, I think those existing matches have the possibility that they are fixed. We can't trust our hard-earned money for those matches. Better save it or spend in more important items as we are still not out of this pandemic situation.

What is your opinion is it worth betting or not? I think to try, but I doubt it.

[Text]

Here, even playing basketball as a hobby is forbidden, even just jogging will stop you. The impact of this virus is very serious, impactful and disruptive to what we want to do. No one knows how long it will last. Maybe the players are bored because they can't do what they want. What do they care about now?

If you know something about this game you can try, it is also important that you have some knowledge about it first. Well, how do you know if you won't try, right? To me, it's worth it as long as you know what you're doing.

You dont have to look for alternatives if you are not a gambler who only wants money from your gambling activities. But there is a possibility you cant stop easily if you have made gambling a place to make money, and switching to online casinos is the solution that has been taken so far.
Almost all football lovers miss the match and if this season is canceled then I think there will be more parties who get an impact and this time maybe not only on finance but the championship title that has to be canceled. There is no title for those who currently lead the standings and that is a very poignant fact especially because the League is almost finished this season.

Yes, I agree with you. Gambling was more for hanging out and for fun (for me). Sometimes I won money, but this is not my source of income.

You can't have fun these days. All the public places have been closed down and we never know when they will open back and this is the case with physical casino which are also closed. You have to find fun either by playing online gambling or you can remain in touch with your friends over the phone and video chats etc.

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?

I guess, the majority of gamblers are finding an alternative to continue their gambling activity, like playing other kinds of gambling online.

Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?

I don't think so, once this pandemic is done, they will still continue their gambling activity.

Are some gambling on casinos instead?

No, there are no casinos are operating today, all of them was ordered to stop their operation.

What are alternatives most sports betting users are now switching to?

I think they are doing other types of gambling like dice, card games or anything that they can do to continue playing.
