CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING

[spike420211]

Well, the rumor of the second wave is a really scary thing because even me, I don't want to risk my life in watching sports events which are highly prone that perhaps will be infected with this virus. I don't how the new normal protocol will manage that to make it sure the safety measures those on people on the stadium are safe, --even they implemented strict protocols to ensure that stadiums are as safe as possible for everybody present but we cant see who is the possible carrier of the virus.
Indeed, the same goes to the country of Russia, they postponed premier league games amid COVID 19. ^{[ https://www.aa.com.tr/en/sports/russian-premier-league-game-postponed-amid-virus/1885109 ]}

I am convinced that adhering to strict protocols will be practically impossible.
Each person is a potential carrier of the virus, which means that the human factor will play a colossal role in adherence to the protocols.

Seeing how many people around the world violated quarantine measures, it is hard to imagine that what is happening at the stadiums will do without violations.
Arriving at such a place, we, in a sense, hope that other people will be as decent as we are, we depend on their integrity, which means we introduce additional risks to our health hoping for the reliability of a third party.

Yes, this is a completely unfair event. The winning team insisted on holding the match before quarantine for the main players of the opposing team ended. This is how the wives of the players of the losing team answered the team that thus shamefully won:

I'm laughing very hard with the response of these women to the winning team .

With this unfair event, for sure the winning team doesn't feel that they won really because it is completely an unfair event and the competitiveness of the game isn't there. This can also happen to different sports events too where competitiveness isn't there because of the virus that will hinder them.

         Its funny indeed  . Based on their reactions it is like they are just playing for fun and without competitiveness you've mentioned. It is really sad to see that this pandemic not only affects the sports and gambling but also the whole world's economy. In my country they are slowly engaging us into online and modern technologies not only for education but also market. Maybe sooner they will also publicly advertise some online sports betting for leisure since my country doesn't support that kind of idea.

I think there might be some changes as when we are quit uncertain with our future due to what is happening today, we are doing some kind of reservation so we will not be as aggressive as we are before the pandemic, but then, even if the revenue of sports betting industry will reduce but what I am seeing is that they would still operate with profit and they can still contribute to the economy through their taxes to the government.

After the NBA restarts it will pull in huge amounts of revenue from betting/gambling but the same has probably been going on with football across Europe primarily with the English Premier League but how would that affect any graph that might show any increase/decrease to how any inflow of funds towards betting from those people in quarantine might look like.

Did the stay-at-home gamblers because of the coronavirus change their betting patterns?

Now that some places have re-imposed lock downs (such as suburbs of Beijing and Wuhan as well as parts of Germany), how will this impact the sports gambling with some sports resuming including the EPL Football (English Premier League)

What's necessary is that sports will resume, or major sports will resume to be specific as they are the ones who creates attract big bets.

NBA will also resume soon, this is a big sports event and the world will be watching and since we have a lot of option for online gambling, I think the sports betting industry would still make money from us,I think if there is a drop, there will be a little drop of total number or amount of bets compared to the time when the world was still free from virus.

To those saying that it is still a rumor, here is my piece. I think the second wave is here. I mean look at some of the news outlets already calling it the second wave. If they were able to control it for a few weeks and then there is a new spike of cases, then that is the second wave. Definitely at this time we need to follow the new norm. Follow all protocols and be able to stay away from very crowded places. It is survival now.

For the sports organizations, definitely there would be new changes now that there is a new surge of cases coming in. I could think is that cities with the least cases will be allowed to be used as venues for the sports events, though logistically it would be a nightmare putting everything in one city, if that is going to be the plan.

To easily determine the phase of our situation, look at the graph of confirmed cases per day. If the line already goes down due to good order and maintained the public health very well, that's the end of the 1st wave. We can say that a 2nd wave has already occurred if the line from 1st wave drops but suddenly goes high again.

It's because some people aren't participating in the guidelines or protocol given by the government or maybe the government lacks competence so cases occurring per day are not stopping. I hope the sports organization prohibits the audience and fans from any tournament, it'll just make things worst.

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?

I'm sure a lot of sports are going to find a way in order to continue their tournaments as well as sports gambling, We could see some articles about UFC and some other sports how they are making their ways to continue and for sure it is going to happen. The government is also going to support it since they wanted money. A lot of countries is also already recovering from the virus and slowly some of the gatherings are getting back but there are also a lot of countries that still not recovery and didn't flatten the curved that is for sure will take a lot of time before they bring back sports.

[JollyGood]

What is being mentioned in the media is that too many analysts have indicated there will be a second wave (also referred to as a 'curve') of the COVID-19.

According to many reports any second wave or curve will have a huge impact on lives everywhere when it strikes after lock down restriction globally are relaxed. Analysts state there will be an increase in the 'R' number and that will cause many problems.

Yup, daily cases in my country are even higher this time compared to the day we imposed the lockdown. We can't flatten the curve and yet basketball association here are still hoping that they can come back this year even just for one conference only. During the lockdown, I'm still hopeful that they can be back this year, but now that it became a 3 month lockdown without flattening the curve, and with this hundreds of daily cases, it makes me scared how long will it take. And if they decide to continue with it, it will be really dangerous.

Judging by the countries where summer is already ending, the second wave of the virus is inevitable. This is very sad, I think the next hard quarantine will be unbearable both for the economy and for the psyche of people. What will happen to sports is hard to imagine.

A funny incident occurred in the football championship of my country: one of the teams was quarantined because infected players were found. The match was not canceled, and as a result, one team played with full professional staff and 17-year-old boys played in the second team.
The result of the match is 10-1  For football, this is a monstrous score.

Perhaps those people who were free to make the decision to cancel the match were interested in losing the team that suffered because of the coronavirus. Maybe they were betting in a bookmaker's office even before the information about the illness of most players became known to the public.

Everything is possible in this country, even that which is very illogical and suspicious 
But I don’t think that there was such a reason - bookmakers have the right at any time to declare any result “unplayed” and return bets to betters. This is done to protect them from such fraud.

The strange powers of the bookies. In this case, they may try to declare any suspicious match invalid. Especially if they suffered losses on it.
There should never have been a match like this.

this is still a theory everywhere...
many circulating on my social media homepage that the second wave is the worst, the media a lot of preaching as if it was a big disaster, now I no longer panic about the corona, ready or not, we all really have to face it.

Analysts will be analysts and they are just sharing their opinion base on the facts and what they are seeing right now.

With the current trend of cases around the world, I don't see any flattening of the curve but it is the exact opposite. Some countries say that they are in the second wave already and some aren't saying anything. This maybe true or this maybe not but base on what is happening right now, probably we are currently experiencing the 2nd wave already although I don't have any basis but the current trend of the cases. It isn't going down.

We are close to finding the cure for the coronavirus. China has already received the go-ahead for testing its large-scale phase 3 vaccine in the UAE.
Which shows good hope for overcoming this pandemic.
While so many of us must settle for games without fans. Until the final cure arrives.

I hope we really are. It will still take some time even the vaccine was invented or found. The release of the vaccine to other countries might take a while but I do hope that we can find quickly the vaccine. I am so excited to watch a game again and bet on it. We should be seeing the playoffs now of NBA, that virus is really annoying.

[JollyGood]

Yes we have to face, I agree. I would prefer to be better prepared than be ignorant and I hope the masses agree.

Wow, 10-1 is a big winning for that teams hahaha

Yes, this is a big win. That team set 3 new records in the championship of my country. Formally, everything is correct, but everyone understands the injustice of this event. It's funny that years will pass and few will remember the reason for this event, but the set records will remain (unless someone else updates them of course) 

This the only thing we should be worried about as if all of them will be sick or lose it will make the situation really worst. So I think the most important thing is our health we should not risk our beth as we know sports betting has some online sites as well.  We should go online and play to stay at home. Coronavirus is serious thing we only can prevent by care and safety.

That is the point why alternatives such as online betting are effective at this time. But we should also consider that most of the gambling casino needs to operate because in the first place, they are a business, and they have employees that need to work in order to have money to buy necessities. Yes, health is good and we need to take care of it, but with just relying on our Government to have food to eat will not allow you to live healthy, imagine eating canned goods for consecutive months. Instead, work with extreme caution and at the same time, help the economy to go back to normal again. Lastly, implement social distancing at each time because sooner or later, even with a huge COVID case, we can see more business opening.

The government can't hold longer, they can't allow to halt businesses as it would only result to economic struggle.
We have economist in our government, I mean brilliant economies and they are sure that if keep avoiding the virus, the effect will be worst in the future.

Sports betting is not affected anymore as they will come back, like other major sports, they will also resume soon, and NBA is going to resume next month in July 30, 2020.

If the bookmakers did not have such a right that protects them from dishonest matches, then all legal bookmakers would go bankrupt for a long time. There is a lot of situations where fraud (in sports) is obvious, but it is unrealistic to prove collusion. These rules help bookmakers protect their business.

But what to do if the result of the match exceeded all expectations and the bookmaker suffered losses. However, the game was fair. In this case, the bookmaker can declare the match as a contract and refuse to pay the bets.

How can those who placed bets get their winnings?

That is an issue and tricky situation that can happen. I guess that bookmaker can make the decision according to his estimation, however if he wants to keep the business he should play fair. Unfortunately, frauds in sports are also very often and that makes situation even more difficult.
