CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING

[spike420211]

Whether they want the sports to be resumed or restored as soon as possible, there is nothing they can do because everything is not back to normal. Would they rather be infected with the virus and risk their lives just to play sports again? Even families and other people around them are likely to suffer from neglect. Whatever we do with precautions is no guarantee that the virus will not spread. That's because we don't see it and who the carrier is. There are also tests that are inaccurate and there are times when they are invalid. Focus on what you can do today such as online gambling or esports.

The funny thing is that it is already known that those people who transmit the virus asymptomatically and feel great are the ones who infected the most people.
A long incubation period does not allow to identify the source of infection on time and those with whom he contacted.

What precautionary measures can be discussed while mass protests are taking place around the world with a constant violation of these measures.

That is just really unfortunate but I do understand that. They can't just play and follow the new normal since there are other players that are still positive with the virus. I guess we might not really see the continuation of the season in 30 days. That would take them weeks to quarantine and they can't just play after that since as far as I know there will be a follow up test to that.

I guess we will be sticking more to online games or esports betting right now. This is just sad.

I'd rather stick to eSports temporarily than let the players expose themselves to further risks. We already have a few infected players according to others here in the thread, and opening the NBA season just invites more of such events to happen imo. Plus, let's not forget how there are cases where people are asymptomatic (shows no symptoms) and can be very dangerous, especially with close contact games such as Basketball. If they were to test themselves, then there's a chance that could be avoided but that doesn't say that the chances are zero though.

Precautionary measures would be to stop the protests. Or at least, think of an alternative where they don't actively seek for their deaths like what they are doing right now. Ofc, i'm not saying that they should stop but rather look for an alternative. It's also with these kinds of issues why the spread still won't stop, mainly because they think that the pandemic has already passed over after the past 3-4 months.

Apart from sports betting such as on football, cricket, rugby, boxing, etc and the regular online casino type of websites - what other forms of gambling do you think people have participating in?

[KTChampions]

Various bookmakers have various ways of calculating and arranging odds, some will always be more than others. I am interested in exactly how much the lock down has been affecting regular and occasional game players and if there are any statsistics available to shows betting patterns associated with them.

Did you check this or is this your guess? There were times when I tested the effects of probability theory on bookmakers and carefully studied bets. To my surprise, almost all the odds were almost the same (except for minor differences).

First of all, the protesters themselves must stop the protests; they, with the police, only kindle the waves of protests. In addition, protesters must be conscious enough to understand that mass congestions now can greatly worsen the situation in the country. And this is the biggest problem. Because a huge number of civilized people behaves like a herd of greedy animals to robberies and beatings.

Well, almost all sports betting now has been postponed or rescheduled because of the COVID 19 situation. Here is my guide of sports event ^{[ https://www.bbc.com/sport/50765073 ]}. How about the e-sports and like Fortnite the most trending sports and games on the internet and perhaps most likely on the bookmaker's sites.
COVID 19 has a huge impact on all sports events and perhaps gamblers may be switched to online gambling or even in the e-ports games betting.

It is a guess based on some analysis, usually when one bookmaker states one team to be favourite or one boxer to be favourite then usually others follow suit (and so on). I wish I had statistics to back this up but as of now I have none.

I think all the matches are treated like that because we don't want the spread to continue and we as big sports fans will certainly take advantage of virtual online as they watch the game. I think this will become a habit if we continue.

My area also applies the same thing so whatever we have to enjoy to watch it and believe me it will return to normal after everything has recovered we will be free to go see the match.

Even the American Got talent has no audience when I watched it earlier I think every show and the game match will have this kind of setting since the pandemic still ongoing. I'm fine with this since we have lots of sources to watch some sport matches and game shows. You're right after everything is fine, we can watch every match we want and go to the cinemas too.

In Belgium casinos and cinemas opened yesterday but offcourse the amount of people is limited. In august, the new football season will start but at this point all matches will be played without audience.

Many of the establishments opened right now with the implementation of social distancing when entering. But I guess it is still not safe unless your country is a COVID-free already and have a vaccine. It's better to bet on online casinos and just stay at home and watch movies on Netflix. There's a bunch of things we can do on the Internet right now. So I'll not bet my life just to have fun and watch movies, I rather go home and watch on streaming platforms/

There are already some sports had already resumed out which you would able to make up some bets and i have seen one in boxing or even in football.

When in talks about online gambling and yes, theres a significant rise up but not really that much imho(this is my own view). When it comes to e-sports,

well these things is always there since it can be done via online neither via remote or into a venue place.It doesnt matter because it can be done without

much that supervision.

The sports game is already resumed, and I see that can be a starting point for every sports game to come back after they cancel all of the tournaments or events. This time will be different than before, and they must follow what it needs and follow the government's protocols before other people get infected.

Online gambling will be the one that takes advantage of the Covid-19 because people who want to playing gambling will try to search the gambling website, and they will try to play the gambling games until the gambler can back to place their bet in the sports games.

Slowly and slowly as more and more sports events start taking place, betting will increase. There are many people that place bets on sports events without evening having an interest in that particular sport as odds are available for many aspects of the game (goals scored, sent off, total corners etc).

I am worried about the impact the lock down has had on vulnerable people that might have started gambling and turned it in to an addiction.

[GDragon]

That would be a disaster. People are actually having a hard time to survive the first wave, how much more if we will be having the second wave. Some people thought that what we have right now is the second wave but as far as I know, we are still in the first wave, that is why I hope 2nd wave doesn't happen anymore. Though medical personnel should be ready for this does or it doesn't happen. That would also mean more delays and cancellations of games again.

Anyway, the NBA will be resuming soon and I can't wait for it to bet on my favorite teams.

Unfortunately, there are some players who tested positive these past few days. Some of them are in Brooklyn and some are in Indiana. Don't know the rest of the players who are tested positive but this may affect the performance of the team and the league as a whole.

The resume of the NBA is 30 days away and many players can get affected still. There are some who choose not to play anymore since it is not necessary that they will play (optional) and they will not get punished. If more and more players will be tested positive within these time frame, I'm afraid that they will decide to just stop the whole season totally.

This is what I've been thinking too. Its just so hard to play with this virus. I hope all of them are tested correctly, there is no room for error when the season starts. I'm scared some of them will not know they have the virus then continue to interact with other players and staff, it will make the season be cancelled too. I just hope all are tested correctly, and the safety precautions be as effective as possible. I'm scared and excited at the same time.

I am also glad that in many countries once again started to allow the conduct of sports matches. This will show people that they need to stop being afraid and get used to living the same life.
Don't worry about dependent people. They never stopped playing. Some of them played in online casinos, others played in illegal casinos.

It's what I'm waiting, sports will resume then I would also resume betting.
This month we will witness the resumption of the NBA, that should be a big thing for the million of fans and millions of bettors worldwide. Also, it's gonna generate money not only for businesses but for the economy so they should resume even if they have to play without a crowd.

Sports events are starting to resume again after months of lockdown, so does sports betting. It may be different from the normal events we are used to, but it's still good that some organizers are now trying to prepare for sports events. The pandemic may have affected sports betting but since we're now at the restarting phase, we can slowly see sports betting again. Following protocols are always there since we now have to practice new normal.

Well, it's really an opportunity for online casinos since most gamblers were left with no choice but to gamble online.

Each test performed must be accurate for the participants of the game as well as those involved in the event. They should also avoid going to or visiting places where there is a critical or confirmed case. So they have to stay in their home court first and the only league they can do now. Here we are, again with new cases due to travel authorization and also because of irresponsible people.

I hope people manage to stay away from gambling addiction during the lock downs no matter which country they reside in.

Unfortunately it seems all kind of addictions are going up during this pandemic, addiction to drugs, gambling, pornography, the Internet, video games, smart phones and whatever you can imagine as people are trying to find ways to deal with the pandemic and its consequences, I hoped for things to be different but it seems this pandemic is going to have very long lasting effects even on those that never contract the virus.

Most likely this has to do with the Terror management theory in which people realize their mortality and how really limited is their time despite any precautions they may take and how they try to find something to cope with it, and they are finding in all of those behaviours a way to deal with the stress.

Agree, those who will participate in any sports event should be tracked and prohibits going to any places that have a lot of confirmed cases.

It's a hard process, after the sports tournament, they should be monitored for 1 week or more so if they become positive on COVID-19, there will be a fast action and to those who got contact with the person.
Mass testing should be implemented to all of those people who're involved in the event which are athletes, staff, and many more.

Yep, sports matches have resumed in many countries in the world. This is good news for both sports betting players and sports gambling sites. Now, they can work again as usual even starting with only a few matches. Gradually, I think all sports matches will be back as usual. Well, after waiting for a long time sports gambling, finally we can start again to play.

This will show people that they need to stop being afraid and get used to living the same life.

Yes, we mustn't be so afraid and try to face reality. We cannot stay forever at home and no activities outside. What we must change is our habit and be always careful about every activity outside.
