CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING

[Captain Corporate]

 Interestingly there are some games still going on, why they are doing it on face of death I will never know, even if players do not die from it, they could get infected and than infect others, this is a very big problem right now and nobody should take it lightly. Even esports events are getting cancelled nowadays so I do not understand why phsyical contact games are still around, most of the major ones are already cancelled it, so should the other ones as well, I do not understand why they haven't.

 In any case, we could simply just wait, wait around and eventually sportsbooks will come back, most of the time even summers are filled with games so many people gamble I can understand that but for now just wait around and not gamble, if you are addicted it is a great time to stop, if you are not addicted surely you can wait couple of months.

Officials in Turkey for a long time all sports, they insisted played without spectators. But as things continue to get worse, they have temporarily postponed all competitions starting this week. All athletes put pressure on social media to postpone the competitions. Even Trabzonspor football player Obi Mikel has terminated his contract due to the decision to continue the matches. We don't live in normal times right now, and I think the best decision is to keep people in their homes. The whole society.

 indeed the sports match is stopped because of this virus maybe you can try other alternatives such as blackjack, dice, crash game or poker, whatever it is that makes you comfortable, if you don't like the game, you are forced to wait for the plague garbage to die.
but I think they will do the game until the sport is reopened.

They will surely regret their actions if one of them will be badly hit by this virus. remorse is always at the end when something goes wrong. they should respect that others will be affected by their hard headedness. Anyway, they should understand that not only sports are being cancelled but almost all mass gatherings around the globe. They are not alone in this dilemma. They should think that others have no jobs and no money to buy food, so their problem of not holding their sports can be considered a luxury in these times.

This thing is going to get a lot worse if the officials don't take measures. They need to lock the country down immediately.

Nobody should get of their homes unless it is an emergency. It will be a lot worse than what it already is otherwise.

Sports Gamblers would either quit now or simply look for the alternatives for their cravings.

I have no plans of quitting, i know I can do my usual thing soon as things will be better over time.
Eventually the vaccine will be release and everyone can go out from quarantine.

There is nothing that working like sportbetting though, has the provably fair technology even exist in the racing games on casinos?

This one I have no idea as I am not playing racing games.

The only reason why I bet on sports games is because I followed the athletes. My option is to just play dice and blackjack21, I guess it will work to kill time.

Same here, we are having fun while we are betting and because we know the athletes, we feel we have the advantage and we will have a chance to win in the long run, and even though we can't prove it but the fact that we know the game and we re optimistic, this is the reason why we are challenge.

Gambling is the only thing that can bring happiness to most of the elder people and we have nothing to do but to let them enjoy their lives. So based on my observation, it is not bad to gamble when you have money to spend for. But the only essential here are the lives of the elder people who are more prone to the virus and their immune system is not enough to fight the virus. Let us remind them to stop gambling for the mean time and be patient until the Covid-19 is eliminated. Although we don't have the exact time when the vaccine will be discovered but let me assure you that it will happen in a mean time. Stopped gambling for now and spend your money to necessary things.

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?

Still gambling. The pandemic can't really stop gamblers since we people will still find ways to gamble. If people will not be doing physical gamblings, they would be gambling online.

Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?

It is not that easy. You might be able to contain yourself in your house for a month but that would not stop gamblers from gambling.

Are some gambling on casinos instead?

Right now, no. Casinos are closed because of the pandemic.

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

Right now, some esports bets. Doesn't mean sports betting are not available, they will stop on betting. They still do online bettings like poker and maybe other live bettings.

Everyone focuses on the gambling side of it and I can understand it since we are in gambling discussion part of bitcointalk. However, we are forgetting how much it is affecting the economy of the teams as well, these are huge companies as well, we see them as sports teams but they are actually big companies that deal with hundreds of millions of dollars.

A coffee shop buys coffee and sells it, a team buys players uses them and maybe even sell them, players are the products of those companies. Now that there is no games, no viewers, no tv rights, no merchandise, basically no income at all and they probably still have insane amount of cost just to keep it going, they will be losing money. I don't know how much THAT will affect the teams, that seems like the biggest thing here.

It has many impacts on the sports industry and will have a lot of loses.

Yes agree, if we think about the teams and other events, there are many profits to lose since all of it are cancelled because of COVID-19. Major events, especially on eSports that have a huge prize, is already cancelled and players will not be able to compete, therefore, no payment for them this year. There are also major companies that invested or sponsored that specific event and no promotions will occur.

Not only in the sports industry, the artist of entertainments also experiences that kind of situation since they're always promoting a product.

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

There are two possibilities that will occur, when sports betting for now no longer exists. First, maybe gamblers will rest for a while and wait for updates related to this virus. Second is maybe they will play gambling, but not for sports but for other gambling games. which can be done online.

[YuginKadoya]

It surely impacts so much because of the situation right now all sort of sports that have a gathering audience need to be suspended in the times like these but I heard that one gambling site the BOVADA have offer weather bets on their sites, for example of this is what would be the possible temperature on a certain place and people would surely notice this a little but BOVADA have recently stop this for some reason,

But the idea's like this would surely keep some gambling sites to be alive and going on, even without sports betting and some have put their self in political bettings instead and some would take their moment on reality shows well I think some sportsbooks are thinking ideas on how they can ease their time with the recent outbreak that we had.

There are no sports matches, so I think gambling addicts can switch to other gambling and that is a reasonable choice for them. If they dont like to bet other than sports, stop for a while until the virus pandemic is resolved and use the time to gather with your beloved family.

The point is the lockdown is currently being carried out in almost every corner of the world I think will not limit gambling addicts to bet and gambling will continue even if there are no sports matches.

Gambling on casinos is not an option, many casinos are now closing because of the Pandemic and I don't think they will become a reformed gamblers just because of the crisis, when the crisis is ended they will likely go back, their two best alternatives are playing online games and playing casinos online, I'm sure they will find gambling online their best option because they are familiar on it.

For Sports, because of the crowds of every sport. Then it cannot be forced for a match, and all must obey the rules in the country concerned.

And as you said, if you want to gamble then it's better to gamble online. And fill in lots more time for a new atmosphere in every gambling game.

It is really hard for sports betters to know that every sports events had been cancelled and postponed like NBA due to the pandemic of corona virus, that is why since most of us are staying inside of our houses the best alternative way for sports better to do is to play in online casinos or maybe play video games like NBA 2k

Very true. With the deaths rising up in numbers and touching the peak today (i.e 325 in Spain and 627 in Italy) I believe there would be more panic in upcoming days in the areas which are least affected as well. With the current numbers I believe there would be severe measures undergone to prevent the spreading of virus to higher numbers and to people with lower immune power. I don't think it would be safer to play gambling right at the moment when you are in need of fiat for emergency purposes.

If people tend to play in physical casinos, there are higher chances the virus would spread to other individuals as well and it might cause further distress among everyone.

...snip...

The gamblers would probably move onto roulette, dice, blackjack and similar kind of games. If gamblers tend to continue the same during these adverse conditions, it's quite evident that they are risking their money for fun. Casinos have closed at some of the popular places to prevent public gathering.

The current situation corona virus was affect the many peoples so current economy was down in entire world.  May be this is the best time to play in home, but everyone was human only top traders are stop the current gambling. Many waiting for the world expo 2020 at the same time peoples are running the current virus issue, so this is not a right time to concentrate sports gambling. I think many other gamblings are active in current traffic.

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.

[semobo]

United State
Australia
Israel
and China

these four countries claim that they have found the Corona Vaccine , we do not know whether the news they convey is true and also we do not know what they mean by claiming this when panic is still very high.

The world really needs this so that all sporting events begin again, many big game matches are postponed because of the large spread of this virus. it's better to play online gambling for now...

Yes, right. Better play online. I also saw news about the vaccine, but it will take a lot of time to test it. It seems to me that eliminating all the consequences will take at least a year..

Corona virus has been treated with different medicines and most of them were working or even our immunity is capable of handling this virus and get us fully recovered that is why most of the affected people from China are getting recovered.So this is not a deadly disease but only we have to breakdown the transmission chain to stop the spread and cure the affected ones and let the remaining world in peace.

I guess most of them are gambling on online casinos. They are just playing dice, slots or other games that they find interesting. Though yeah, its actually a prime time for them to reform their gambling habits and if they are addicted, stop for good.
I guess there are simulated sports games out there that they can place bets on. They are probably playing over there  .
