occasionally used to gamble on sports, mostly on cricket. Due to Corona, all the cricket leagues and series are postponed. I have no way to bet anymore because there is no cricket league. So, I am doing nothing instead of that, may be I will try some dice games.

The majority stay at home so generally, they are in front of their computer screen and playing online casinos. In the meantime, taking a rest in sports betting, some are still gambling which is only accessible on the internet and others are waiting until the situation cools down. I'm out for now in gambling, better to watch a movie marathon.

House gambling,  , me and my friends and families are playing poker, just to pass some time because we are already in a lock-down, curfews are implemented here. But the money involved is not that huge, it's only friendly games, instead of doing nothing.

But yes, the only options for us is go online, dice, slots etc.

I think they search for another thing to bet, and if they still want to gamble, perhaps, they can try with online gambling. Or probably, the majority of them staying at their home to prevent the virus, enjoy their time with their family. I think other people are trying to stop gambling because of this matter and I guess that it is the right time for them to stop gambling. I believe many casinos are close for temporary because they want to save their lives first from the virus, and they don't want to cause many people to get infected.

I don't know what the alternatives that sports betting users do right now because I think all of them will have a different thing.

I think it's for our own good, we need to break the spreading chain, it's will be boring for this few weeks. Our country just announced lock down 2 days ago. We still have online live casino, even tbose not fun as sport gambling. Hopefully everything will be back to normal so we can back to work and watch some sport. Avoid gathering in crowded places.
Stay safe all beautiful human. Let's fight this invisible devil together.

playing online gambling (casino & poker) is our only choice while we wait until all sports matches return to normal..

I guess these virus would only take a month max, so everything would be back to normal.

before the spread is stopped or the vaccine is discovered the panic of the Covid-19 virus will remain.  likely, the peak panic from the Covid-19 virus increases in April or May and then decreases in June or July..

Save up, just imagine how much action there might be with the NFL, NHL and MLB all going at once !

[TravelMug]

I'll probably just save, not saying that I'm going to reformed though, this is a hard times for everyone, much better to put aside those bitcoins, we may never know how long this pandemic.

And I firmly believed that the panic will continue as long as no vaccine has been discovered. Meaning, it might take weeks or months, so I'm not really taking the risk at this point.

Sports gambling affects not just the traditional gambling production but also the online sports betting. MMA sports that suppose to happen every weekends were cancelled.  No BTC for the bettors these days, it looks like all markets are really going to be in a down trend.

nope they are just goingto stay at home this time unless they wanna be in the quarantine.  It’s weird that NFL players don’t constantly look at their phones to check their stats.    of course its a joke.

Most of the sports, like basketball, football, baseball, volleyball, etc. are all cancelled because of the virus, even the online games tournaments are also cancelled, which is good thing to prevent other people interacting with each other, the good thing to do right now is to stay at home and play online betting if you want, there are a lot of websites that you can use to play gamble. As what we are facing right now it is advisable for us to stay at home, do not be bored on your home, you may do anything on your home but make sure that you should not go outside.

Well, there are so many sports that are cancelled, so we have nothing to bet on, so the best thing that we might do is to try other gambling sites, playing dice game is also advisable, there are so many gambling websites that we may try if we really want to play.

Usually dice and chart bets are the only games that I love to gamble besides sportsbetting. But I haven't yet shifted my gambling interest towards those games but I am betting mostly in CS GO leagues. I am glad that atleast Corona virus hadn't had much impact on the schedule of those leagues and I am kinda doing well TBH otherwise I would have been enticed in other Live games whom I don't have any idea on and hence would lose most of the times.

There are still few sporting events but if you have patience to wait for that event and willing to bit a small chunk of your bankroll then it just keeps you in touch with sports betting at least and thats what I am doing.

This is the problem for most users cant control themselves. The best alternative for me will be saving up and divert to a little different activity such as reading, exercise at home, or learning something new such as cooking. I suggest different due to I am not an active gambler but occaisional and inviting them to do other types such as online betting dice, lottery will only be a not good advise. It will resume when everything is okay and this virus gone already.

[Vaculin]

I used to gamble a decent amount in sports betting but since my favorite sport is suspended, I don't anymore risk big money in betting.
Of course there are a lot of alternative but I treat it differently, I just solely do it for pure fun with a very limited amount of money at risk, just to have fun while under self quarantine at this tough times.

Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?

Not giving up although not winning most of the time, maybe taking a rest for awhile but as soon as sporting events will resume, gambling will resume for sure.

Are some gambling on casinos instead?

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

I guess most of the sporting events now are cancelled, so we can't bet, I don't know with other sports as I am more focus on major sports and I would not bet on sports that I have no idea how its played, my chance of winning is very low then.

Sports Gamblers would either quit now or simply look for the alternatives for their cravings. There is nothing that working like sportbetting though, has the provably fair technology even exist in the racing games on casinos?

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.

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.

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

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.

There are always other way to entertain their own and besides with the virus spreading I don't think they would really be prioritizing their bets or craving to gamble.
But if they really want to gamble then it is time for them to step out of their comfort zone and try those online games like dice,crash game and mines.

I think the majority went to the obvious route. Online Gambling

Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?

I really hope that some of the addicted gamblers have gone and made this situation an opportunity to improve on themselves and let themselves learn that they don't really need gambling in their lives, it's entertainment.

Are some gambling on casinos instead?

If you are talking about online casinos, then probably. There are a lot of ways to feed some desires if you are addicted to it. I hope they are not gambling though (if someone is addicted)

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

I think the best ones (for addicted gamblers) are a new hobby. Possibly music? Lol.
